Popped over to Hideout Leather yesterday and saw this Police S1000RR, was quite cool but also rather terrifying to see one up close lol
Come up to Norfolk, they have a Black/Silver unmarked one thats out almost every day
FFS. Anyone who's ridden an RT will know they're slow as anything, but there's no clearing off when they're riding what you got too. Looks like he get's it leaned over too. Scary.
Not as scary as some of the riders, lol.
Should have asked for a seat on it and a selfie Oli, most Coppers don?t bite.

I've done long test rides on the GSA and new Triumph Tiger 1200. Next up is KTM SA.S and the Multistrada Enduro. The XR is off the menu as it's not off-roader (although the Triumph apparently isn't up to it either). I'll do a write up when I've done the other two....You’ll love a GSA then Hugh [emoji6]...Have you tried an XR?...

Thanks Oli. The GSA is a really interesting bike. Amazing equipment and I know it's fast after following Jimmy and Andy through the Cairngorms, and my test ride confirmed that, but my problem is it didn't feel fast or exciting which I reckon is down to the suspension and lack of mid range. It is a brilliant bike though and I reckon perfect for eating up mega miles in comfort....Did you like the GSA?
Can't see it making much difference, Oli. However, a change of avatar is definitely in order for the mighty GSA!There is a new R1250 GS being launched for MY 19 I believe. Might be worth trying that as there will be a bit more ooomph?...
Spot on Andy. It's fast but requires forward planning which is perfectly reasonable. I often find myself in heavy traffic and reckon it's simply not gonna be nippy enough for my kind of riding. If I was going round the world, the GSA would be a no brainer.I would not be looking at the ducati if you want something thats going to do a bit of getting dirty. The ktm would be the pick of the bunch for performance and ruggedness for me. The GSA is a beast of a bike and needs riding with a great deal of forward planning, which fits nicely with the advanced training methods, I have never had any issues making progress on mine. I left you guys around 11? Was home by 5.30 if not a bit earlier.
Good point Mac, it'll be a nice dilemma if I can get the cash together......For me the GSA is a better contrast if you own a sports bike as well, I think you'd find you'd ride your S1K less if you went for the KTM. Nice problem to have.
If it's a marketing gimmick, BMW are doing themselves no favours by letting the coppers add all that crappy luggage on the bike. Motorrad Tail and Tank bag would've finished it off better.
Makes me laugh thinking about the breathalysers and penalty notices flying out of that saggy tail bag as he's chasing down some 'bad guys'.
