Hi, new member here ?
I have a s1000rr on order (due to collect in the new year) so thought it a good idea to join a forum. Based in Manchester and do mostly road riding but hoping to get on track, possibly some sort of euro trip and a straight line event if anyone knows of one?
Had a few bikes but this is my first superbike and first brand new bike.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your upcoming S1000RR!

What colour / spec is your RR?

A Euro Trip is on my future ToDo list too [emoji41]

What bike did you have previously?

I?m sure you?ll have many happy miles ahead on your S1000RR!

Enjoy the forum [emoji4]

So I?ve gone for:
S1000rr sport
Storm black
Dynamic
Forged wheels
M chain
Pillion pack

Pro riding modes are now included on the sport which I?m happy about. Probably going to get the rad guards fitted before collection.

Current bike is a MT09 and before that a R6.

Is there anything I should look out for with the gen 4?

Cheers
Nicko

Losing your license.
Most of the known issues shouldn't apply to a new bike.
Neutral is always a faff. Best to find it while still rolling.

I?ve done a few pod days in cars but I think for the bike I?d definitely be looking to do a straight liners event usually held on runways to really stretch its legs.

Or take it Mugello/Portimao/Aragon and do it lap after lap...

Something to look out for: handlebar vibrations. I recommend getting some heavier bar ends. Also a taller screen. The standard one is too low
