and the secret under the hood is 16valve double vanos. Rueben makes it look tiny, no?

red white and blue are always BMW factory colors.

Its more of an orangy red than the picture shows. And it is factory.

They always paint cars/bikes in brighter colours so when they are shown in pictures/video, the colours appear as what they should be.

111 is Xaus' current competition # plate.

As for test riders... Jeremy McWilliams, Kevin Curtain, & Steve Martin have all contributed.

Simply gorgeous to look at...too bad all that lovely carbon fibre bodywork will be in shards after Ruben gets a hold of that bike. tongue laugh

yeah, Xaus makes most modern sportbikes look rather small but with this new BMW appearing especially compact, the size difference is quite noticeable. He has to be one of the tallest riders ever right? Can't recall his name right now, but the British rider who sadly passed away a couple of years ago riding in the Isle of Man TT & also competed in BSB was probably taller than Ruben & quite a bit heavier than him as well. That was one big guy! Made that GSXR-1000K4 look like a pocket bike under him.
