Not for the faint of heart because of the traffic at times. Riding any motorcycle poses dangers in itself. These can be greater with a sport bike because usually the exhausts are not as loud. This can be an audible alert for most drivers before they see you. In the case of our subject, not so much. Luckily the BMW S1000RR has different ride modes with change the note up not a lot but enough to notice a difference. Other than the exhaust I always highly advice wearing full safety gear when riding no matter how short of a distance or slow you are going.
