    2011 s1000rr blipper system

    i think there were some threads on the IRC one if you look, I was considering it a while ago, but didn't seem to be good value! the HM one is newer as they only did the quickshifter a few years ago, not seen price or reviews on this. My view on the gearbox issue is people may not have much...

    Low mileage vs Age.... What's the tradeoff?

    Is that 500 miles per year? suppose if it's been to BMW every year for service might be ok, but on mileage wouldn't be at first service. Things like a full akra would swing it for me. Nice colour too

    Your other guilty pleasure.

    I've got a 1980 DT175MX, 91 KDX250SR, 88 FJ1200 and a 98 R1, no more room in the garage. Haven't used the R1 for years, but the others get some use, either pillion for the Mrs, bit of green lane / winter hack or runs with the VMCC. the RR gets most use - done 7000 miles this year so far

I thought it was ok , but it wasn't. wheel needs to come out to get...
