I bought a new BMW

I made myself a deal that if I paid off my student loans, I could buy a new bike. Paid them off, and bought a 2013 BMW S1000RR that day. It's got dynamic traction control, heated grips, and ABS. So far it's pretty badass. First gear redlines at 93mph, and it'll pull the front tire up on throttle alone through 3rd.
Mods so far are a tinted double-bubble windscreen, Sato Racing rear-sets (GP shifted), removed the exhaust flap (Makes it louder, and rougher), Yoshimura fender eliminator, removed passenger pegs, and a Sargent seat. The only other mod I'm going to do is a custom HID projector retrofit. Can't fathom how a Ducati Panigale doesn't have a single light on the entire bike that isn't an LED (Headlights included), and the BMW has your typical incandescent reflector bulbs. I guess that's what you get when it costs the same as the BMW but makes 30whp less.
