Hello from London

Hi,

This looks like a good S1000RR resource, sold my GSXR 1000 K8 in December and am now looking for a new bike probably with a BMW badge on it.

cheers

Ive just done almost exactly that - ive owned GSXR 1000's for last 10 years - faves being the K5/6 in Stealth Black and the K9 - i was running a K8 GSXR 750 on track last year and have to say i loved it but missed the grunt of the 1000 - i decided to go back to a litre track bike for this year and couldnt decide between an Aprilia RSV4 or the Beemer but after test riding both it was the BMW all the way for me - bought mine last night!!!

I am back !

So, I never went with the S1000RR....... in the 3 years (!) since I made that post I've been on subsequent GSX-R 1000's. Also had a dabble at club racing on a GSX-R 750 last year.

Both of those bikes are now gone, too long to wait until the new Suzuki 1000 comes out so going for a 2015 or 2016 S1K. Just trying to find one with forged wheels with the right bits and pieces on it.

This forum has been a good resource in researching the model (thanks all) and look forward to being able to contribute something back shortly.

cheers,

D
