Hi from a BMW Newbie.

hi and welcome.....
2nd fastest colour to be honest (thundergrey is fastest ) but nice bike anyway.

Cheers Rob. I've heard that Although I was just thinking that the matching BMW Motorrad leathers might be good for a few extra tenths per lap... until I saw the price.

General question though to all. Matching leathers, yes or no? Dainese do a good-looking suit and 2-piece in Motorsport colours (ish) that I spotted last night.

never gone with matching leathers myself..black n white Arlen Ness for me at the moment,,neutral colours are fine if you swap the bike....the Dainese in motorad colours are nice though...and Manchester Dainese have got em in their sale at moment i think!!! ....

Matching leathers are ok imo, just dont go for WHITE Boots

Phil, is that: white boots = questionable levels of manliness and/or testosterone, or more about them showing up the dirt?


I actually quite liked the white boots lol.

Gixer Rob, thanks for the heads up. Didn't realise that Dainese had dedicated outlets.

Think colour matching isnt a problem just the full bmw a bit OTT especially regarding the price, think i'd want an air bag with that Unfortunately, those of us with an s1k are deemed by many to be knob heads, all the gear no idea etc, conversation is noticably strained to start with. BUT, it does look good on factory riders ! ;D
