Hi guys I got me 2012 s thou rr 2 weeks ago . I bought a triumph explorer 1200 brand spankers in March 3 sets of wheels later and some light scratching to my headlights and a fair few rows with them it was unacceptable so traded for the BMW (I convinced myself I could be a sensible person ) anyway I got my bike a day before my 2000mls trip to south france/Switzerland I'm very impressed last year I was on my Gsxr k5 1000 (yes I was sore) but on the BMW no such pains BMW have done really well with the standard setup the alps were perfect for this bike albeit a little fast for acting the tool on roads u don't know and have a 0% chance if u make a mistake lol THIS BIKE NEEDS TO BE ON DAY RELEASE!!!! It's great can't wait to slogg it arround the track how many of u guys from essex Area ? I do sense that Mr Blade Mr Gsxr are of the jealous type but feckkem ZEE GERMAN RULES!
