Hi
I have been lurking for a while. Another new member awaiting delivery of new bike. I have ordered a S1000RR SPORT , which will mainly be used for trackdays.
This will be my first ever new BMW .
I decided to buy the BMW after having an Aprilia RSV4 RF for a couple of years , which regularly broke down, spoiling several European track days. I was lucky enough to be able to use a friends HP4 whenever the RSV4 broke down , so kind of got used to the BMW , without ever owning 1.
The final straw for the RSV4 was at Aragon in May , when I broke a valve spring.
I ordered the BMW in early May from Pidcocks in Long Eaton, was originally advised delivery in July.
As yet , like most Gen 4 buyers , I have no idea when I will be getting the bike.
Thought seriously about cancelling the order and buying a GSXR1000 , but decided against it , and decided to persevere with the BMW.
I have a couple of track days booked at Snetterton and Angelsey , which I will be doing on my touring bike - S1000XR.
Quite looking forward to how the XR goes as a track bike.
I may well be a large mobile chicane.
