    BBQ legs

    Hi folks, I rode my new S1R to work today, no rain and I have the first service booked in a couple of weeks so want to hit the mileage limit asap. It's about 60 miles ,mostly A and B roads, I did have to sit in light traffic a few times, where the bike gets up to around 100 degrees or nearabouts...

    Trading the XR

    Hi, welcome. I picked mine up last Saturday. Still running in and it's restricted until first service which is now something like between 350-750 miles. I love the bike and rode all the latest competition from Honda, Yamaha, Susuki, Aprilia etc before going for the BMW. Made the right choice.

    It's arrived

    Hi, because I haven't been riding for that long, at my riding level I don't think I would ever get near the ability of Metzeler Racetec or Supercorsa's, hence I was always planning to put a more road focused sport tyre on the bike. After a little googling it seemed the latest Pirelli Diablo...

    i have put about 150 miles on the bike so far, actually I'm very impressed with the tyres, feels very sure footed and grips well, confidence inspiring. Very happy to keep them.

    It's arrived

    At last Picked up my S1000RR today. It came with Metzeler Sportec M7 RR tyres, I thought it would come with the Racetec's but never mind, it will be used on the road the vast majority of the time. My only slight disappointment is the rear paddock stand bobbins. I ordered the BMW official ones...

    Soon to be new s1000rr rider

    Welcome, I've got a S1R on order, about two weeks away now, I went for the Motorsport colours in the end, 2nd favorite was the grey/back. Bahnstormer Alton has a grey/back in their showroom. I also had a K7 GSXR-750 for a while which I really enjoyed, great bike.

    Hello folks from Chichester - new to BMW

    Actually I was too embarrassed to admit on eBay what really happened. After a few too many beers and watching youtube videos of the SC Project on a S1000RR, I went to their website, saw the 2015/6 model and ordered it. When it arrived and I took it to Bahnstormer this weekend they politely told...
