I've read a couple of articles now which have said that in the preset road modes, 90% of the damping is done electronically whereas in race pro modes just 10% is electronic, the rest of the time it just works like normal suspension , I'll post the link to one of the articles . I can't remember...

I found it a little skittish with 42 in the rear so I went with 34f 38r and it feels spot on for me. It certainly takes a few rides to get your head around things after you've had any sort of layoff, after 2 years it'll frazzle your brain lol

I think the exhaust acoustics are the same in all the modes apart from rain where it is turned off.

I've not long got back from my first proper ride since having the bike serviced and honestly can't fault dynamic mode handling wise.it feels compliant when you're pottering around but once you up the pace it stiffens up but the bike feels remarkably stable and planted even over sections of...

Congratulations on the new bike! I bought my Sport from Lloyds, they've been great right through the process, especially dealing with the delivery delay which I had, very helpful and easy to deal with.

Mine is booked in on Tuesday for its first service,I think I'm more excited about getting the rev limiter removed than I was when I picked the bike up lol. Loving it so far and no problems in the first 600 miles. It makes me curious how many people have had problems with their bike and how many...

I think if I get on it I'll find it difficult not to have a proper blast out on it, for the sake of waiting a few weeks I'll probably just sit it out and hopefully things improve as quickly as possible. Looks like it's sitting on it making motorbike engine noises for me too haha

Lol

I know there's probably ways round it and I've been debating whether to just go out on it,but it wouldn't be good if the worst happens and I have an accident and take up valuable NHS resources,plus it'll be hard to explain why I'm 60 miles from home up the lakes buying a pint of milk haha. I...

Picked my sport up on Sunday, waited 14 months for it then, the very next day get told by Boris that I can't ride it lol. A few weeks doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, I was buzzing after my first 100 miles riding it home, can't wait to get back on it and get it run in.

No it's just the standard wheels.

Haven't collected my sport yet but I asked the dealer and it has Bridgestone s21 fitted, I was hoping for metzeler racetec rr ideally which I couldn't fault on my last bike

It's like a form of torture waiting for this bike but after riding one,it's definitely be worth the wait👍

Long story short, I was loaned an S1000r demo bike from my dealer in July, it was supposed to be for a couple of weeks as BMW were supposed to be sorting a brand new s1000r for me to use until my gen4 turned up. I've still got the demo bike as the new loan bike from BMW still hasn't materialised...

I emailed ecotech directly about discount before ordering my tail tidy and they sent me a 10% discount code

I've lost track of delivery dates I've had that many🤣 I ordered in January with a June delivery date, that changed a couple of times then I was told there was a definite build date and I'd have it the beginning of July, sold my current RR a couple of weeks before this to fund the new one and...

I've had a test ride on one today, it had done 800 miles and it definitely wasn't the quietest of engines, it almost sounded like an engine that the tappets needed setting on, must be just a characteristic of the engine I guess although I'd be happier if it wasn't quite so noisy

If 0 is neutral that actually looks like the best place to be for the US spec bikes as it has the least restrictions which is handy😜 Just wondered if anybody who has ridden the Euro spec bike has felt it was overly restricted and lacking in bottom end power in any of the gears?
