    F**kers stole my bike

    As the title says, my S1K has been taking by no good low life pond scum. And that's me being polite about them. Cut through the chain with a blowtorch from the looks of things. Police were very quick in get here. I called them just after 1pm, got on the phone to Road Angel and by the time...

    Best road only tyres

    The S1K came with S20Rs - they were pretty good in the wet. Swapped to M7RRs for the second set and I'm not really noticing much difference. Both have given more than enough grip in the dry and never gave me reason to doubt them in the wet. I have Pilot Road 3s on my NC700 and I have to say...

    Exhaust Servo Eliminator

    Exhaust servo valves on modern bikes don't do anything except alter the noise level. There's been several tests done by the biking press with the exhaust value manually adjusted and it made negligible difference to the torque/power curve. Even fully closed/fully open. It made a difference...

    Wind protection - Seat height

    Hi Jimmy I'm about the same height as yourself. The RR is comfortable and with a double bubble screen the wind blast is fine up to progressive speeds. Head buffeting at motorway speeds is minimal (as in barely noticeable) and moving to a crouch eliminates it completely. Adjusting from a...

    Badly fitting seat cover....

    Looks pretty much like my one. Maybe BMW want to allow the inevitable spiders to breathe.

    Newbie

    I'm currently using my '15 RR on a 50 mile commute. Not what I had planned, but the NC700 lost in an argument against a van. More than comfortable the whole time and I haven't had the slightest problem so far. Fuel economy is decent for its class, though not quite as good as the '08 ZX10R I...

    New member - hello!

    I'm in West London. Nice roads round your way Marzy. I like the Leighton Buzzard Road out of Hemel.

    First service - notification on dash?

    Had the service warning from the start. Turn on the ignition and it displayed xxx miles to next service.

    Supermarket fuel.

    I've been using Tesco's Momentum 99. Found that the with the run to work I'm using 1l less fuel. Haven't noticed any difference in performance. Is it just me, or are the other commonly available supers all 97 RON?

    West London Convert

    Traded in my '08 ZX10R for a 2015 S1KR Sport. Love the handling, miss the sound of the Ninja though.
