I dropped the Gen3 into Williams BMW Manchester for it's annual service and MOT (and footrest recall). They are offering a 20% discount in February for some reason :-) Anyway whilst I was there I had a look round the showroom. Massively disappointed by the look of the later bikes. Those carbon...

BTW I can't reply to private messages As Jamie says at the start the instructors don't come looking for you. If you just ride round then go to the debrief it's all generic. If you get in the instructors face they are really helpful. Ask for a 1 to 1 and you will get it, expect them to spot...

The reason they are free is down to the cost of hosting. To have your own web site with thousands of HD pics would be very expensive. To then spend the time organising them into groups and colours again costs time Sign in (or create) your Flickr account, then open the Stephen Dobson folder...

HPI check on the VIN

I took the Gen3 to Oulton Park for the MSV road bike day. I only rode the BMW in the afternoon session as I was riding something else in the morning. It all went quite well. 1st session I was getting the hang of the bike and wasn't riding at fast road pace rather than track pace, and I didn't...

A few years back I went to Cadwell BMW Club day with Bob Bensley. But since then I've heard nothing. Is this still a thing ?

My Panigale 1199 Tricolore heats the seat and that alone can make it uncomfortable. It's just a stupid design. My RC8 has no such problems. As a road bike the my 2018 Gen3 is brilliant, but so is my R1 4XV that cost ?3k. Of all my 4T's the most enjoyable on the road is the KTM, the Ducati gets...

If you have a parcelforce tracking number and it's held awaiting payment but no letter, just ring them up with your tracking number, and pay the charges over the phone or they will tell you the customs payment reference and pay online Also as an option the Frando (by Venhill) radial master...

Took the Gen3 for a spin Sunday afternoon. Was probably the worst thing to do. Cars everywhere, A roads clogged, B roads full of cyclists, dual carriageways full of caravans. I gave up and came home. I could have gone for a ride on a CG125 and kept the same pace I normally take a trip out...

Avoid the Gen4 :-)

Rose tinted specs are the worst sort of purchase. Just my personal view but why go backwards when there are new adventures. You parted company for a reason

Never go back.

You can use anything in the way you want to. However following the advice of the manufacturer is the best, and follow that up by the experience of other users.

Gen 3 (2018) 8,000 mile service plus MOT was ?350. I had my old HP4 have everything done (this time last year) I think it's called the 30,000km service including valves etc. ?900 incl vat. Just tell them don't do any electronics upgrades if you have had it tweaked because they can't save the...
