Default BMW S1000RR for C5 Z06 6-speed

I have a 2011 BMW S1000RR in Motorsports color with ~6400 miles with quite a bit of work done to it. I am the original owner and I value the bike at $16k and would like to trade for a C5 Z06 6-speed, but I'm open to other offers.


What's been done to the bike:

Full Yoshimura R-77 titanium exhaust

PAIR Valve blockoff plates

BMC race air filter

Bren Tuning ECU flash with dynamic mapping (max RPM increased to 14,500)

Saddlemen's gel seat

HeliBars TracStar handlebars

Throttlemeister cruise control bar ends

Ilmberger carbon fiber fender w/ BMW LED blinkers

Watson's flush mount front LED blinkers

Alpha Racing quick turn throttle

MRA tinted windscreen

Antigravity 8-cell light weight battery

Bitubo steering damper

Ported head with high compression gasket

Degreed cams

Chromed swingarm

Custom machined aluminum swingarm spacer

Custom machined front ABS sensor ring

OEM rear ABS ring machined to fit ABM Peak Evo floating rear rotor

OZ Cattiva Forged Magnesium rims (lighter than BST) w/ Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa tires

DID ZVM-X 520 chain conversion

Full Ohlins R&T forks and shock, sag set for 175 lb rider

Full floating Brembo T-Drive rotors

Pazzo Racing forged aluminum brake and clutch levers

Wunderlich carbon fiber tank bag


Bike makes 184 hp, 79 ft-lbs of torque at the wheel in Colorado. I have over $14k in aftermarket parts alone. Bike is in like-new condition. It needs nothing...set the sag to your weight and ride. I have the title in hand.


Thanks for looking,


Jason

Very nice bike!! Oh how I miss my GSXR1000...I love my vette but there's nothing quite like blasting through the twisties on a well sorted sport bike. I would love to put this in my garage next to the vette!!

Free bump for you!!

You look reasonably tall.
How is the riding position for a guy about 6'?
They do make one nice bike.

The reason I ask is I tried to sit on my buddy's Panigale and could barely get my feet on the pegs in the riding position, very tight at the knees.
Then again, I am a touch older and don't move quite as well as I used to.

I'm about 5'9 and I feel like the stock riding position is fine for me. They do make adjustable rearsets which you could use to lower the pegs but even at the stock position, I can just about scrape the pegs while cornering so I wouldn't advise lowering them unless you aren't going to be doing some decent cornering on it but at that point it doesn't really make sense to own the bike. And it really is a nice bike. If you're really interested, go visit a BMW dealership.. they allow test rides without even being a sneeze away from signing over your soul for it and the newer Gen 3s (this one is a Gen 1) are supposed to be a massive improvement. Just my .02.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm 6' even and the ride position is great. Not too aggressive, not too relaxed. I routinely ride to Walden which is a 4 hour drive up in the mountains and have zero issues. When I ride with my buddy who has a Panigale...we have to make several stops so he can stretch. One thing to note, I have the HeliBars installed which decrease the downward angle of the handlebars. This makes riding in an upright position a lot easier, yet you can still tuck behind the tank when you want. By far this was one of my favorite mods...night and day difference.

Sweeeeet looking bike. Just to clarify: You have $14k in mods alone and value the bike at $16k?

Yes. Mods don't add much value, and I'm not going to strip it down and piece it out. I think $16k is a fair and realistic valuation for this bike.

Thanks for your comments.
Man, if I were just a bit younger, I'd be all over that bike!
