S Same here... I?ve cancelled mine. Terrible from BMW.

Yes - got my deposit back no problem

Contacted my dealer AGAIN on Friday to get an update on the delivery on my M Sport. They said it STILL doesn’t have a build date. Now likely to be October or later. Over a year after placing my deposit. So, I’ve cancelled my order and will be putting a deposit down on the gorgeous new 2020 R1M...

After all of our messages back and forth between each other on the merits of the bike, and me waiting it out for delivery of mine! You?re doing the right thing mate. Stick to your guns. As for mine, I spoke to the dealer last Friday and he said mine still didn?t have a build date. October or...

Contact Ben Perry at Motorrad UK. Noxx pit his address and contact details up earlier. ALL dealers have been given the standard letter to pass on to customers.

Re: What have you bought for the gen4? Yeah... loved the bike. Thoroughly enjoyed it. The Akra shorty is anywhere between ?550 & ?700 depending on which website you go for. BMW might be adding a version of it to their catalogue apparently. If so, expect ?650+

Re: What have you bought for the gen4? I?ve got my eye on the shorty MotoGP style Akrapovic slip on. That?s if my bike ever gets delivered 😂

You did. You were spot on 😉

Re: What have you bought for the gen4? To be honest, I?m not sure it could be any louder than my shorty Austin Racing on my 16 RR. That?s LOUD!

Had a good few hours on the M Sport today as a test ride today. My thoughts? What a machine. The bike had 1003 miles on it and had been de-restricted. Issues over finding neutral? Nope. Not a problem. Certainly no worse than my ‘16 RR. Auto-blipper/quickshifter is unbelievably smooth. A...

Had a proper good few hours on the M Sport today as a proper test ride. There is now zero chance of me cancelling 🤯

Hahaha!

One things for certain... I won?t be cancelling my order. I desperately want the M Sport. I?ve tried the competitors, V4S, Ape Factory, Gixxer, R1M, Blade SP and none of them measure up IMO, for different reasons. So I?ll just have to wait, it?s a game of give and take :friendly_wink:

Believe me mate, I want to believe the bike will arrive this summer. I just have zero confidence in the dealers and BMW. Weird that, considering I?ve bought three RR?s in a row from the same dealer. Their doing unfortunately. I know there?s not much we can do about it by moaning on here, but...

I know how you feel. The dealers & BMW have intentionally, in my opinion, based on what I have gleaned over the last few months, withheld information. The dealers have been playing against a stacked deck unfortunately. BMW carry the majority of the blame in my mind.

Officially recognising the problem publicly and knowing about the problem are two different things to be fair. US forums, vloggers etc were discussing probable delays in Jan/Feb. I raised them with my dealer at the time. They said not to worry. I first got confirmed delay of my order in...

The letter states that June/July is for catching up on May’s production, so if it was due to be minimal, it wouldn't be now. They’re using it to catch up. Standard practice in automotive.

Same here... I was the fifth order at the dealership.

Can I be cheeky and ask when you put your deposit down mate?

Finally got the official BMW letter today... what a crock of sh*t. No reply address. No contact email or phone number. So basically ?this is it, like it or lump it?. So it says that the delays are down to supply chain issues. Tell me something I didn?t know. The engine recall issue isn?t...
