Thanks guys. I have arranged to call the local dealer tomorrow to see if we can negotiate a better deal. Since riding the RR I'm completely consumed by it!

Thanks Oli. Decisions, decisions..... Out of interest, what rear sets do you have, and how much lower can the pegs be dropped? That is the one thing that I found on the test ride, the pegs seem very high (especially after jumping off the XR).

Thanks Bertie. You're absolutely right, both bikes do different (but overlapping) jobs, and in ideal world I would have both. I will be using the bike all year round for commuting, so filtering is also important to me - I rode through town today and found it to be fine filtering (although you...

So after a very busy summer, I finally managed to test ride the RR today. I was completely taken away by how good this bike actually is. Despite reading and watching every review I could find in magazines / YouTube, I didn't expect the bike to be quite as spectular as it is. I also test rode the...

Thanks for all the info, Oli. It's very appreciated.

Thanks Oli. It's very rare that I'm out on the bike all day (typically 2-3hrs), so on the rare occasion that I'm out all day I'll just have to put up with the lack of comfort compared to the XR. At least the numb hands I get on the XR won't be such an issue!

Thanks MacRR. Would you say the RR is suitable for commuting (filtering especially) and low speed riding through town? I essentially want a bike that is suitable for everyday riding, as well as being fast and exciting (which I know the RR is!). I need to speak with the dealer to see what deals...

Thanks Alex. I've read that the pegs seem higher on the '17 RR (I'm not sure how accurate that is), but at least the HP rearsets will allow me to make some adjustments.

Thanks mate. Yes, I think I need to take one out (ideally for a few hours), I'm 6'3 and I'm conscious about the bike being a bit cramped over longer periods. I'm sure I will soon get used to the riding position of the RR though. Thanks again for the welcome.

Hello everyone, I've had the XR for around a year now. I bought it with the idea of doing some touring, plus the wife kept banging on about me getting a bike that she could be more comfortable on, so the XR seemed a good choice seeing that it allowed me to meet those needs and still have some...
