The S1000R is a high-performance sportbike with immense power and superb handling. It generates the kind of thrills and chills that only a top-notch racing machine can provide.
"Hey, didn't you just buy a motorcycle?" Well... before you accuse me of being over-indulgent, let me explain. A decade ago I learned that a rider like me needs two motorcycles to be happy: (1) a comfortable touring bike for long-distance rides, and (2) a small, fast machine for wild bouts of hooliganism. The touring bike I got last December is perfect for carrying me to distant locations with ease. The S1000R is a different beast -- it's pure, uncompromising race-bike. Less comfortable and much faster. The S1000R is light, nimble and extremely potent. Reviewers describe it as "aggressive" and even "criminally insane." On days when I want to taste the intrinsic pleasures of motorcycle-riding, the S1000R will be my weapon.
Special thanks to my friend Chris whose shop (BMW of Manhattan) is the best place in the world to buy a motorcycle. I really appreciate Chris's friendship and generosity.
Now I just need to come up with a name for my new pirate ship. Any suggestions?
definitely something hot and spicy to go with the red color
ReplyDeleteBonny, for Anne Bonny, the famous female pirate! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Bonny
ReplyDeleteLovely bike!
I like that! I've heard of her before; I used to study pirates and their culture. There's lots of overlap with biker-culture.
DeleteRed Ninja! :)
ReplyDeleteGood idea!
DeleteI LOVE IT! Did I ever tell you I used to ride a Yamaha R6? Yes we definitely are kindred spirits. Beautiful motorcycle.

No, you didn't -- how cool! What a wonderful thing we share.
DeleteSexy new bike! Heads will turn when you fly by.
ReplyDeleteI'm crappy with names. My car is Rio, a Kia Rio. Clever, huh? But, in Doctor Who, he calls his Tardis Sexy and she accepts it as her name.
I like the name Red Ninja by Mia.
ReplyDeleteDo you take a bike like this to the track so you can really let it loose? I don't image you can open it up on regular roads.

Of course. It's designed for that. Plus, I want to let 'er really rip and wouldn't go that fast on the street.
DeleteGreat ideas for names, I like Red Ninja...
ReplyDeleteBoudicca!!!!!
ReplyDeleteRed is definitely the fastest colour!
ReplyDeleteSo happy for you.
Scarlet!

Wooo Weeee! "HOT STUFF" is my vote. What a beauty! Congrats and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deb!
DeleteCongrats! I too got a new set of Wheels when the jinxed Jeep finally went on the fritz... and my new Truck is Red too, it is indeed the faster color! *winks* Dawn... The Bohemian
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Dawn. Hope you enjoy your new toy.
DeleteShe's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteFirst impulse was, to suggest a German name, this being a Beemer, however, nothing fitting comes to mind. I am thinking hot blooded, full of temperament, it has to be an Italian or Spanish name... Sophia? Carmen?
ReplyDeleteI like those ideas. Thanks.
DeleteHappy for you! Yes, red is def the speediest color (I had a red Eclipse once, very sassy). Have a blast, and be careful (sorry for the mom-talk!) xox

Red IS the fastest color! I think this was an excellent purchase for you, and I was super happy for you when I saw it on FB.

I would never judge (and think it's cool there are bikes that serve different purposes). I hope you enjoy the heck out of wind-in-your-hair wild rides :) Red suits you.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Ally! That's awesome! So many names spring to mind with a powerful red hued bike like, that from "Red Beard" (tying into your pirate theme) to "Ruby" and "Rose".

What a great color! Now I have to convince my wife to buy one. I’ve wanted a motorcycle for a long time now so hopefully someday soon here I can get one. I’m sure you’ll have a blast with it as I know I would if I had one. But I can’t really think of any names for it.
