Thanks all, so it's a S1000RR Sport, with the standard sport add ons, it's the white and red colour. From all I have read it's get the 600 miles done, get the restrictions removed at first service, set to race and go go go nthego:

Sounds like a plan!

I would recommend experimenting with the "User Mode" as this allows you to tailor the throttle, suspension, ABS and wheelie control independently.
For example, you could have more compliant suspension (Sport) and a more responsive throttle (Slick) etc.

What will you be using your SThou for primarily (road or track etc)?

Enjoy!

Thanks all, so picked bike up yesterday, guy who sold it didn't know anything about a rev limit for running in ( thank god for the internet and the owners manual). Quick question, the autoblipper doesn't seem to blip, although the gears drop down easily enough, the throttle is fully closed and hand not on clutch lever. Is this another function of being in running in mode?

I'm just across the M1 (missus is a belper-ite) so we'll probably encounter each other at some stage - i'll be the one peddling round corners

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations on a stonking bike.
