I did the same! I sometimes miss the versatility of the GS, but it certainly doesn’t give you the same feeling when riding it or opening the garage door. Glad I came back to an RR. Enjoy!

Last year (the week before the 73 plate came out) I negotiated £18k for a new bike on a 23 plate with akra can and the gold m chain. I wanted a bike with forged wheels but could only have one that the dealer had in stock to get the deal. I spent some time playing two dealers off against one...

@Macker I’ve sent you a message. Cheers.

Stayed there with my wife last weekend! Really nice hotel and peace of mind to have the bikes locked away with all the theft going on at the moment.

I went into a local dealer today to look at the furygan vests. They can also accommodate the In&motion box so think I’ll go for one and then wear it with my current Dainese leather jacket.

Sounds really good value for what you’re getting!

These trips abroad look great. Sorry to hear that it ended badly for you, Alex, but I suppose at least the bike came home safely and you are hopefully now feeling better? What is the cost for doing these types of trips (all in!)?

I thought about the same! In fact I’ve been looking on eBay today 😂 Just don’t have the room really for another bike (we have two in the garage as my wife rides as well) and I’d also have to figure out the means to transport it to the track!

Thanks Steve (and everyone else that has replied). Really appreciate the advice and info. I’ll make sure to look into the California Superbike School. I’ve done a couple of BMW performance academy track days this past year and felt that really brought me on (and getting to use their bikes was...

Thanks mate. I was looking at Bemoto insurance which costs around £320 per day, I’ll also look at Adrian Flux; but that soon mounts up if you’re doing 5-6 track days per year (although I think you can get discount for booking several days rather than one). I just feel like I’m not riding as well...

Hello all, I’ve doing more track days this year, and I’m really enjoying developing my skills on track, but the thought of throwing my £20k bike into the dirt is always in the back of my mind. For those of you that regularly use your bike at track days, do you insure your bikes? Will you...

Yes, at least that’s my understanding. I also have an RST suit (v4.1) and have been looking at buying a compatible jacket so that I can make use of my monthly subscription when commuting to work, short rides, etc. The In&motion website has some info on compatible products...

Cheers! Just pricing up some bits now.

Thanks Alex. Did you have to pay any taxes? I’ve heard lots of good things on RPM (including value for money) but was cautious about where to buy from.

Is there a UK supplier for RPM Carbon?

Yep but their WSBK has a belly pan and every other manufacturer seems to find a way. Just looks unfinished in my view. Plus it means I have to fork out £800 😂

Thanks mate. Interesting to hear about the fitment, not what you’d expect, especially given the price. It’s the one thing about the S1000RR that I can’t get over, why not come with a painted belly pan out of the factory? The other manufacturers seem to be able to do it. It doesn’t help that the...

This looks amazing, Alex. Where is the belly plan from, and would it fit without a full system?

My dealer, **** Lovett Bristol, corrected paint defects on my black bike and replaced the swing arm as it was marked on collection. They then threw in my first service for free and offered me discount on carbon fibre parts I was looking at. Couldn’t ask for more really! However, the choice of...

Thanks Alex. I do like the look of the Bonamici. Any suggestions on where to get them, I’ve seen different prices ranging from £550-£680 for what appears to be the same model.
