My New S1000r

Discussion in 'Other Bikes' started by bradders, Sep 23, 2018.

  1. Quick update for anyone interested.

    A bit of going & froing, getting close to a resolution towards a replacement bike. With luck, should know Monday if a replacement is 100% go and an estimate of when for delivery.

    Its taken a bit of time, but I really can't fault BMW dealer or BMW so far too much. So much so I'm happy to spend more money on something else.

  4. Top tip. :) :upyeah:

    I used to get that on my Streetfighter with a textile jacket. I have a leather Dainese jacket that was part of a 2 piece suit I no longer wear, I'll give that a bash next time I'm out on the Hyperstrada I think, as I usually wear gortex jeans and a textile jacket on that. :thinkingface:

  7. Been thinking of a second bike ( to go with ny Multi 1260) and something a bit different engine wise so test rode the R 1260 R and a R Nine T. Found the R 1260 R a it boring too- just did everything too easily- but the air cooled Nine T was a real joy and full of character.
    Hey ho that could be trouble..

  17. As it's their fault, would they not loan you something else until the new one arrives:thinkingface:?
     
  18. If I want a bike, they are happy to loan me one for a weekend when it’s needed.


    But it’s hassle. Got to pick it up, leave car, can’t do too many miles, take it back Sunday before thy close...
