Its the add on's that are the killer. Import duty on Bike parts from USA is 4.5% plus 20% VAT to price so you are getting close to an extra £300 to allow for advertised price!
Bike mechanic friend told me that many of the Blades he works on have a high oil consumption rate :o Don't think you will have the same issue with the S1000rr
We all have our own opinions on every thing and I don't think that the build quality is any better on the BM than a KTM , all bikes are now built down to a price and for example Honda build quality isn't as good as it use to be. As for looks the RC is an aquired taste but does stand out from the...
Oh NO ! I took them to Carl Harrison ( Harleston Norfolk) I purchased both used from a forum member , the rear shock came with 105nm spring fitted and two sprares 85 and 95 . So I got Carl to put 85 on in place of the 105. His set the bike up for type of roads I ride (mainly B roads) Given me a...

I purchased mine in July 2011 it was registerede in March 2011 has ABS TC QS mileage of only 500 and paid £9,995 ! ;D
Got carried away and treated bike to some Swedish suspension, lot cheaper than trading bike in for a HP4 ! Might not be as trick but once set up should be a marked improvement on the standard :) ;D
100% agree Andy . 100% disagree Hopper. The scariest time I've every had on a road bike was when I was on "L's" riding a DT125LC with F"$king cars and lorries cutting me up as they overtake. Bikes are dangerous FULL STOP statistics prove it but thats a factor we all are aware of when we get on...
