**apologizing ahead of time for the crappy quick pics and if it makes no sense...very sleepy and told myself I'de get up pics tonight...crappy or not, lol**
After much deliberation of choosing between a Brutale, an F4, F41000, and a 910/910R...I went with the Brutale S.
For those thinking "why???". I went to get insurance on the F4 and F41000, and it was rediculous for a 24 year old male. So I was stuck between a 910/910R and a 750. I was reading up on both what you people wrote with first hand experiance, and magazine articles.
The bike is going to be used for commuting/street use, on Sunny Days here in Florida. I last bike was a decently modded Superhawk (V-Twin), so I was definitly wanting torque, but was a little leary of it being TOO torquey. I.E. Tuono, the front comes up no problem from both being top heavy and it just being rediculous. I decided to change it up and go with a revvy 750. I gathered it was a better bike for street riding as you get the uber smoothness throttle response(oh god how spot on they were), and rev happy motor, that makes hooligan-ing it around that much more fun.. That, and insurance was a bit cheaper than the 910R.
So without further adue, here she is:

Couple things done:
Cat was removed and replaced with an Arrow connector pipe
Carbon Swingarm and chaingaurd protector
Carbon Heelplates
Carbon Exhaust shields
I dunno how it sounded/performed before, but god damn does it scream. I guess they didn't locktite the exhaust shields, cause when I got to the gas station to fill up after cruising around for like 30 minutes(after the 6 hours towing drive home), I noticed the lower was missing, and the upper one was hanging by one bolt. So I have the top one, I just need a bottom, and the bolts.
Normally I would be pissed, but the MASSIVE grin on my face from riding completely through out any potential anger I encountered :laughing:
I would definitly have to say, Larry at BMW-Triumph in Charlotte, NC was of the utmost in help and customer service. The entire staff there was insanely happy go lucky and laid back, and willing to answer any questions. They also had a "sit on anything in here" policy. Which I found great, cause almost every other dealership you goto, regardless of whether you're intrested in buying or not, won't let you sit on thier higher end bikes. These guys were letting me sit on $30K BMWs, Rocket 3s, The F41000, all while I was just WAITING to get my bike checked over/prepped. The people there are great, and my next MV purchase is going to be there, despite the fact I have to drive 6 hours, and the Miami dealer is closer...thier service in Charlotte is deifnitly worth the drive!!!
Let me know what you guys think, and let me know if anybody has a lower carbon exhaust shield for sale, lol.
