rebound damping can be adjusted at the push of a button. So, you could simply dial up the feel you like – awesome. Spring preload adjustment is still manual. Of course, cruise control and heated grips and all sorts of connectivity and other electronic wizardry are included in the M-spec package, but what was especially cool was the very sharpsounding Akrapovic exhaust system.
MMM, POSSIBILITIES Okay then, who should buy this bike? Well, I think everyone should. It is a magnificent, stunning machine in all respects. However, life
is not that simple. Firstly, there’ s the buy-in price … almost $ 48,000 as the starting price. That puts many of us out of the running. Next, the limits of this machine are so far beyond what is legally allowed on road that it becomes almost sinful to obey the law and a tragedy to have to. Which is a problem. No, the M1000XR deserves better. If you intend to do track days, ride( somewhat) sensibly between times, appreciate its performance, beauty and all the magical cool stuff that comes with an‘ M’ series machine, then you will certainly cherish owning this awesome motorcycle.
