As I'm now getting on a bit I'm thinking I would like something a bit less aggressive in terms of riding position but before I take the plunge and change the bike I wondered anyone had fitted any different bars and foot rests to their bike to make it more comfortable. I love everything about my...

Are there any viable alternatives to the HP levers for my 2011 1000rr? I want long adjustable levers, not interested in Chinese cheap replicas off eBay but something quality, Any suggestions? Thanks

Went out today, did abput 40 miles no problems, stopped and when I went to start the bike it was having none of it, dash lights on, can shift modes but nothing happens when I hit the start button. After a quick web browse roadside, found a suggestion of taking the bike out of the sun and...

Can somebody please tell me what the additional bits you get on the carbon vs a standard HP4, are there fewer carbons than standard bikes. I'm thinking about buying one and wondered in terms of the future residual which would be the best option and is it worth paying the premium now Thanks

What is the best or recommended chain lube for the 1000rr? I read somewhere that the stuff applied at service has a long life but I'm pretty used to doing the chain regularly on all my previous bikes. Is it different on the BMW Thanks

Having done a few miles now I think a set of shorter levers would make sense, which are the best and good VFM, want black if poss. Thanks

Finally bought a bike and picked it up today. Only done a few miles on it so still finding the rear brake a but odd and the gear change a bit clonky but all in all very impressed. Not sure if adding a set of rearsets will really make any difference but will get a few miles under my belt before...

Had a test ride on a 1000rr yesterday and have to say I was very very impressed but I did have a few questions which hopefully you guys can help answer: The rear brake didn't fall in quite the right place for my foot naturally and was pretty ineffective to be honest considering the bike had...

Hi I'm trying to find post which explains the differences between the models in each year 2010,11,12,13 and 14 to understand what changed and why both in terms of spec and also ride style as I'm not sure whether a low miles 2010/11 is a better bet than a 12 with a few more miles on the clock...

Hi I've decided I want to take the plunge, other than Bike Trader and MCN classified where is the best place to find a used example or even a decent priced ex demo model? Do all the dealers (franchised or not) use one of the above sites anyway? Thanks

Hi Thought I'd sign up and say hello, I'm currently not an owner but am thinking of getting my leg over one so to speak, not sure whether to buy a pre reg or go down the used route as there appear to be some bargains about but after lurking for a while and worried about the engine/box issus...
