I need to confess, BMW S1000r sport

I owned an early RR for a year (after my K1300R), and later rented a XR for a week in France - loved both of them, although the XR tune was disappointing in those first year bikes.
Love the engine.
But I should have kept the K1300R, lol, that was civilised nuts. I reckon that your 1000R will be similar...
 
To be honest guys I think I'm over bikes, this one will see me fine for a few years. Out the van, in the garage and covered up. Its gonna be at least 8 weeks before I get chance to have a ride on the thing. 5 years ago I would have pulled it out the van legged it up stairs and got kitted up for a test.

There's something about 600 miles a week in the van for work that makes you think I really cant be arsed riding around for the sake of it at the weekend.

There's also something that doesn't sit well not having a bike in the garage. I'm not ready to throw the towel in. Fuck me I've even been absent in the Grumpy cunts thread :oops: I must be mellowing with age (y)

I'm in the same boat. I travel most weeks - Flying around NZ and 2-4 nights away from home. Come the weekend I don't want to go anywhere. But NOT having a bike is not going to happen. Even if I just go into garage and take it to bits/fiddle with the bike.
