Hi - Blade to S1000RR

[Fordy99]

Hi All,
Like a few others here I've just over from 08 Blade to S1K. Pick it up Sat week if DVLA transfer the reg in time.

In some ways the Blade is better (ease of use etc) but in others the Beemer is better for the biking I do at my level.

Can't wait to pick it up, hopefully the usual April showers will be over by then.

Just planning a few mods now......

welcome fordy, i always found the fireblade safe and linear...... S1R is much more exciting ride.

S1R is much more exciting ride

especially if the conrod bolts come undone ;D

Welcome to the forum.

P.S. If you've not collected your bike yet you shouldn't have a problem.

Fordy99,

I should also have mentioned I moved from a 2010 Blade to an S1K so I'm sure your not going to regret changing.

So the DVLA have only just transferred the reg plate so I pick the bike up tomorrow from Balderstons Peterborough. The weather forecast is ***** !!!!

Oh um never mind. All this rain makes me remember that I have NEVER picked up a bike or had new tyres in the dry. It has rained every single time so it looks like tomorrow will be no different. I've done loads of wet riding including a couple of wet track days so it isn't an issue - I just wish once that the Rain Gods would piss off.

I'll post some pics after I get it home and cleaned it

Gives you a proper excuse to use Rain mode
