    SJParker's Blue Fire S1000RR Gen 2

    Haha this was great. I actually met BvG once when he happened to be at JHS racing in Bristol on the same day I took one of my bikes there, and I quickly learned to never take it there again... He seemed alright though, bit more reserved off camera.

    Likewise, I also heard mixed things re Alcantara but it was mainly around water resistance (or lack thereof). I've gone for the EXO Alcantara which is waterproof, but a more expensive material. I was sold when I sat on a Panigale racing seat in technical fabric. It's very difficult to...

    Gen 2 rearsets to improve ride comfort

    Hello folks, I have a 2012 gen 2 and I've had knee problems after an ACL injury a few years ago. I noticed after only a short time on the bike, I'm finding my knee gets aggravated by the riding position. it's the standard rear seats on the bike, and I've never bought aftermarket rearsets...

    S1000RR Akra Exhaust DB Killers

    Hello folks, Was looking to change my exhaust on the s1000rr Gen 2 to either: or My bike is decatted and with my current Austin Racing exhaust was unbearable with no DB killer. Once I added one it was fine. I can't seem any baffle/DB killer that is made for these exhausts. Have I missed...

    Apologies yes you are right, it is a Gen 2 - My mistake. Owned it about six months. Bought from a guy in Hackney, he was the 2nd owner, and looking at documents it looks like it originally was purchased from Motorrad Battersea. It's immaculate, basically looks brand new for the most part as was...
