BMW S1000RR a Yamaha R6 copy?
To find the beast deals in Motorcycle JacketsIs the new BMW S1000RR a Yamaha R6 rip-off? YouTuber mca8690 certainly thinks so, and he’s gone to the trouble of producing this video to prove it.
The BMW S1000RR motorcycle was “outed” pretty early on in its development cycle clad in a set of modified R6 panels, which covered it ‘with space to spare’ according to BMW development boss Peter Mueller.
I’m not in the camp which says the BMW motorcycle is a rip-off of the Yamaha R6 but the comparison is a very interesting one. The “similarity” is definitely enhanced because the 2 bikes are sporting the same colour fairings.
What do you think?

Dude don’t hate Yamaha is a crappy bike we all know that, I own a S1000RR and the technology in that bike makes that Yamaha look like a bicycle and yes I paid $20,000 dollars for it what do you expect it’s a BMW not a Yamaha or Daiwoo. LOL
