Yeah, that's where BMW re-direct to. I'll let you know what the suit is like when I get it in about 7 weeks or so.

Well that ended up much cheaper than I thought it would. ?1,255 (or ~?1,130)

Bahnstormer in Maidenhead. Had it done yesterday. BMW provide the dealers with a fitting kit which weirdly does not include a tape measure. Instead it has a red ribbon with no measurements making more of a faff than it should be. Waiting on getting the quote back to find out the cost, but...

I've decided to get measured up for a BMW RacePro suit. Always been a struggle finding a suit that fits me. Even mix and match with a two piece there's always been some compromise (usually with slightly too long legs)

Re: Who do you trust to fit tyres to your carbon wheels & your experiences with OEM I get a local mechanic to do all my servicing and tyre swaps (well I say all, I didn't ask him to service my Gen3 not will I for the Gen4 as he can't plug into them). Known him for years and he's always done a...

I don't have my Gen 4 yet; scheduled to be built during August. But can someone give me the Dummies Guide to the Connected App? How does it work? What does it do? Do you need to keep headphones plugged in? (I always use earplugs and usually turn the phone off).

I had a GS rider nod back at me on Saturday. Left me in shock it did I tell you. In a similar vein, you know how BMW and Audi drivers have earned the bad rep? Well for me, it's Dacia Dusters that are the worst. Literally every single one of them I've seen on the road has been driven by a...

Sportsbikeshop show the 8008 as being discontinued and no longer available. I was looking at the 8077, but the reviews really put me off it. Multiple people complained about the barrel seizing and one person having to cut it off with a hacksaw because they couldn't unlock it. Bizarrely...

Hi Oli, great write up. I also had a test ride on a Gen4 recently (also not fully run in), but as I haven't seen my Gen3 for over 3 years I didn't have the same reference points to refer to. I did try both Road and Dynamic modes out during my time though. The suspension in Road mode is...

Update: test ride went really well. Didn't find the seat uncomfortable. Only bugbear is that everyone in the South of England who owns a pushbike seemed to be out in the Henley area on Saturday

Fortnine did a good review of the different battery types and how they serve different purposes

Good to know tracker and alarm is a valid option. Was hoping to go down this route assuming I enjoy the bike enough (who am I kidding - assuming?). Tracker's are good, but you don't hear them and the one I had on the Gen3 decided to not work properly

So after a long hiatus from sportsbikes (had to save up my pennies and sort out a garage after the Gen3 grew legs - can't have anything nice these days), I've got a test ride booked in on Saturday on the Gen4. Just wondering if all the issues people have had on the early bikes have been sorted out?

At least you've gotten a test ride. I'm still waiting for someone to call me back, it's almost like they don't want my custom. :(

I had a '15 with standard wheels (Bridgestones were fitted). The demo bike I rode had forged. I did notice the difference, although switching to M7RRs the difference was less pronounced. I think if I had to do it again, I would look to get forged wheels if I had the funds. Got a lot of...

@Cavey: Abus Granit. Big hefty thing that was deliberately raised off the ground to prevent bolt cutters getting the needed leverage.

Feeling your pain. Glad you got yours back, mine is still AWOL :(

HP footrests and levers. But nothing that would make it distinctive from other bikes. The only thing I didn't have fitted from standard was the forged wheels.

I noticed at lunchtime myself. There's a few multi-storeys near by. I don't really hold out much hope for recovery, but slim is better than none.

West London. And naturally I have a tracker, but RA can't pick up its signal. :(
