S1000RR Gen 4 Delivery Thread

[spoonbill10]

Lloyds of Carlisle Delivered My S1000RR Sport c/w performance pack, Rad guards and seat hump.
Only managed 90 miles yesterday but am back out tomorrow :race2_smilie:

Congratulations on the new bike! I bought my Sport from Lloyds, they've been great right through the process, especially dealing with the delivery delay which I had, very helpful and easy to deal with.

I think you have only missed out on looking at it in your garage this weekend seeing what the weather is doing. Forecast for next week is good!

My Saturday and Sundays are always working...Thurs Friday my days off..... But gonna see about getting up there early Tuesday perhaps and seeing what can be done.....and the gawping in the garage would have involved some stroking and polishing I'm sure!

Update...finally managed to get into dealer today for a pick up! Will update and do a full post once i've recovered but in todays heat from 9:30 till 1:30 we covered all A roads from Cheltenham, Hereford, Worcester, Evesham, Stow in the Wold, Cirencester and back home....132 miles covered

Initial thoughts....gearbox sooo much slicker than the demo. Finding neutral was a breeze...the double bubble screen made a big difference in looks and buffering....and yes I had a massive grin on my face.

All I had to say is in best Monty Python style.... you lucky, lucky boy!

If no luck with the vented gear at Infinity, there is a Helmet City in Kidlington now (same building as Kings Two Wheel Centre), they might have some summer stuff :sneakiness:

Congratulations Marc, really pleased you?ve got your M-Sport home now. Hope you can get the rest of the run-in miles done ASAP [emoji41]

Re mesh jackets; I?ve been using a Knox Zephyr mesh jacket for a few years now and think it?s good.
