Thanks fella and have to say i agree its a gorgeous looking bike - although the Aprilia RSV4 and of course the Ducati Panigale R are also very sexy!!
Thanks! Quote:

Thanks kiddo - much appreciated and we must get together soon for a catchup - been far too long - e090 karting must also be sorted this summer - and im not now doing my ACU licence on Sunday, too long a story but effectively im now doing it all through MSVT and im doing their Level 1 Race Academy and ACU test all on the same day up at Cadwell on March 22nd - i was going to do it at Snetterton 300 but i know how much of a loon i usually am at Snetterton and i know how much more respect i give Cadwell so hopefully i will wind it back a notch, not get too hot headed and get through it all and pass - fingers crossed!!

Lovely bike mate. Never ridden one just yet but plan to as the intention is to change to either this or the RSV4. What was better about the BMW over RSV4.
Apparently the slick mode you put it in isn't the 'ultimate' mode. I've heard there is an mode even more aggressive that the dealer can sort. Could be a loads of borrocks tho...just something in the biking world. Roll on the summer aye...I'm sure you will enjoy and good luck with your ACU |

Very nice bike mate. I didn't like them at first because both side, including the lights aren't the same and thought it looked odd. After seeing one in the flesh I was won over. Very well made bike and oozes quality, especially with the Akra on it.
I just can't wait to get the RC8 out of the garage when the temp pics up a bit and get riding again. My car will deffo take a back seat to the bike this year. Not taking mine on track as its too much of an arse to swap the exhaust back. May buy a cheap gixer track bike for that. Good luck with the racing, keep us updated. Gaz I think the slick mode can only be activated after its first service by the dealer, as far as I know it's the 'rawest' mode. I've been on the RSV 4 and it felt very nice. I'd love to try the Beemer. |

The Beemer is on its way up to SBW Motorrad in Hertford today for its first service. Ive also ordered a few little bits in readiness for the year ahead!! Managed to get a removable tow bar for the Disco yesterday but still need to source a single bike trailer - im looking for a collapsible/foldable one - if anyone knows of one for sale or any recommendations then please let me know - it must be as easier and simple as possible to load/unload on my own. Ta!

Steve, I am not a bike person but that looks stunning. I looked at the spec and 190bhp on a bike, this was hot hatch power 10 years ago.
When did you change to the disco from your RS4. Do you like and how does it compare to your RR sports in the past?

Sadly, i wrote the RS4 Avant off and went straight out and bought a Range Rover Vogue SE and then we got used to the size, comforts and practicality and once i got bored with that i swapped it for the Disco - have to say it blows the RR out of the water and i even prefer its aesthetics all round - perfect truck for the family and a lovely car on a journey - but i wont deny i dont miss a bit of oomph and excitement but i guess the S1000RR should make up for that in bucket loads!! Again, nice to hear from you and stay well

Got to love those stabilisers Steve,when do you get to take them off?
The ones I had on my Raleigh Chopper came off when I was about seven,admittedly I was a slow learner,but you must have got the hang of it by now PS: You owe me a date Fella,Chez Tony!
