    Pit Lane Limiter

    I've got mine on 30mph. Perfect for those stationary and mobile 30mph speed cameras... I do take extra care to hold the starter button down wouldn't want to accidentally double my speed in 2 seconds and be banned ;) Huge, if you are using the pit lane limiter I'd advise turning the Bank angle...

    Insurance question

    This is the same BMW branded insurance underwriter that providers the free 5 days ride away insurance. Unless you have 6 years no claims and no points, who is deemed too much of a risk to be provided an annual quote & as such 5 days ride away insurance was declined...

    The true cost of owning an S1KRR in the family

    Thanks gents. Will have him fit one of the two ha... once I remember which box they're in. Running in service tomorrow which is over a week to do 600 miles on a new bike.. The shame ;) @Soofsayer he's based near Bury / Rochdale. Williams is probably closer but AJ sorted out the demo onwards...

    Same price

    Thanks for the link Alex. Much appreciated. Does anyone have an opinion of the longevity between the listed street and occasional track compounds of pads listed above? I believe the 10-14 Brembo Calipers are exactly the same as 15-16 + now 17- onwards? Shame they haven't stuck the HP4 Brembo...

    2016 vs 2017 RR

    For me it wasn't based on the physical cat difference but more to do with the Euro 4 (always harping on at this). Very taken in by the base grey / black colour and the Motorsports looks stunning at a distance (even seen the other direct of traffic on the M27 and I was a little jealous!) BMW...

    The true cost of owning an S1KRR in the family

    So as of Friday the words became reality. My dad had a fabulous '15 R1200R, perfectly sized (low seat height), nice torque curves, sounded gorgeous and even had an auto blipper. It seems having ridden my s1k occasionally it was missing some of the ferocity of his down the line bikes such as...

    MCN 2017 Superbike Shootout

    When the s1k gen 1 was launched Im sure it was around ?13k? At the time obviously more then Japanese offerings. How times have changed & its now the best value when spec'd up (taking in to account extras like DDC , CC & autoblipper)

    MCN 2017 Superbike Shootout

    Don't forget this was the Euro 4, so that 4kg difference means a 15/16 would of had the extra top end and track time due to a higher power to weight difference (lol see if that comment winds anyone up ;) Tank range and every day usability fall hands down to the BMW. You know this as...

    Re: Alex - My new toy... Ha ha, its only 4kg heavier then a 16! Im going to guess its the Akra race can that looks like the superleggera shorty for the 17? What does this mean regarding previous posts on removing servo's? Have you lost the warranty due to the EXHUAST fault code? How many...

    Good luck insuring the 17 plate

    What mileage are you requesting? I'm with Bemoto, 24yo.o and 8k inc commuting. Obviously not up to your previous mileage If they say no to you they'll kill my policy when I need to extend the mileage (6 months in, just upto riding season, 5,500 miles so far)

    Good luck insuring the 17 plate

    AXA are the underwriters used by BeMoto for both my policy at 24y.o. and my dads R1200R (soon to be 17 XR) give them a try, mention both the forum and Baron Van G and you wont go wrong. Best of Luck GChick ;)
