Welcome mate, infectious joy at a new bike! :biggrin-new:. Good question too, I'd love to know the answer!

You are getting lots of opinions... so I'll add another. If its sportsbikes you are after they are a bit old school now but my last GSXR 750 L1 (they are still the same now right up to current model bar paintwork) was seriously rapid. In fact, on the road would give a lot of litre bikes a run...

Thanks Paul, I think you are right, part mind games, and part temperature. I'll be in the doghouse if my missus reads this but I think trundling around behind her wasnt helping with tyre or brake temperature. Just been out again and got a lot more aggressive, managed to push the meter off the...

Gents, advice again please. Like a t**t I think I accidentally contaminated my brakes when wiping ACF around the wheel. I tried everything to decontaminate them, but eventually bit the bullet and bought some new pads. I cleaned and cleaned the discs obviously and I've just been for a 150 mile...

Just goes to show that when bikes are this close nowadays a lot of it is subjective.

Haha. The Chinese seller did get some "strongly worded feedback", but funnily enough I don't think it spoilt his day much.

You can remove the silver spacer when it comes to keep the case nice and low and out of the way of the clocks... you do need the spacer though if you are running a tank bag.

I put some after market ones on a previous bike and they were *****. Looked fine in the garage but in bright daylight from a distance cars couldn't easily see which way I was going. Not good! The factory ones on my Gixxer were fine however so make sure you know what you are getting if you are...

I must have literally just been past your front door. Just popped up to Moto Central and rode all the way down the A5. I didn't know you were there mate. I'll pop in one day for a nosy!

Gents also consider these. I bought the 40mm pillion version. Can't see the 40mm rider version right now. A little more but these adjust in any direction not just down. I found them very good...

Are the 10-14 Brembo calipers the same as 15/16? I have the 2016 and am in need. This will fit the bill perfectly if so.

+1 This is exactly my setup with the addition of ultimate addons power supply. Works a treat.

Well I don't get MCN... 2 years ago they rated the R1 above our beloved BMW. This year with no real changes to either bike the BMW is higher. The new blade took top spot despite being only third fastest on track and no where in the speed trials, and bottom on the dyno. Clearly there is something...

How big is it Alex? I've got the Wunderlich tank bag and I have to say it's awesome. Come on and off really quick and no more removing it when you need to fill up. http://www.nippynormans.com/s1000r-and-s1000rr/wunderlich-tank-bag-sport-black-s1000rrr

I did Aragon last year Soof. If you can spare the time, I can't recommend a detour around Picos de Europa enough on the way!

I don't know about the two flashes but I have heard that in some places 70mph is now being enforced. This is quite an old article but.... https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.driving.co.uk/news/drivers-warned-to-stick-to-70mph-as-motorway-speed-cameras-arrive-by-stealth/amp/

+1 Indeed it is. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Gents... quick opinion poll on oil usage... I've had to top mine up today quite a bit and it struck me that it hasn't been long since I last had to. I've no scientific measurements yet but will monitor as of today to come up with a firm idea of how much I'm using. I'm just coming up to 6k on...

I'm West Midlands Nick. Lichfield to be precise. I do run to Rutland very occasionally in Summer. I'll give you a shout when I do, and likewise if you are ever this way let me know!

I know this is an old post but saw this today...
