Righto, first big bike was a GSR600. followed by a GSXS1000 which i Loved and was mega fun to ride!

Then felt it was time to experience some TRUE power and ended up with the Gen 4 RR. Having test riden the RSV4 factory, GSXR1000R and the R1 i chose the BMW which was by far the most comfortable.

So far i ve been loving it despite a rocky start (bought approved used Gen 4, engine blew up literally minutes after leaving dealer and they gave me a brand spanking new one as a result so kudos to Vines Guildford for customer care!!!).

Only thing i dislike about the bike is the stock can sound is horrible/boring and it takes some getting used to over revving the engine to get the most out of your power at high rpms. Feels like a 600 up to 9k rpm. Kinda missing the low rpm punch from my GSXS tbh.

Thats in a BIG nutshell from me?

Oli? Whats your riding experience?
