For anyone familiar with the weather in and around NYC this winter, I thought you might be interested to know that other than 2 or 3 days, I have continued to ride > 80 miles every day in and out of midtown on the BMW S1000RR.
It has started right up on the first try, even in 15 degree weather yesterday, and the DTC and ABS set to "rain" mode have worked perfectly on slippery roads.
So a 193 horsepower race bike with lights, or a daily driver and winter commuter car, depending on your perspective.
Highly recommended.
