So I originally joined the forum a lot of years ago when I was looking at / thinking about another bike. As things transpired, I didn't get another bike at the time, and so didn't visit very often, let alone post. Now, I think it may be an idea to rekindle my membership & visit a bit more, seein...

Was in my local bike shop last weekend, and there was an R1150R sat in the back. Asked about it, and was told it was waiting on some MOT work (swing arm bearings?), but then it was going on sale as the owner had brought it in for the MOT, and then part-exed it against an R1200R that they had in. So,...

Wasn't the 1100s tuned for a bit more power than the "standard" 1100/1150? As my current bike lacks any kind of wind protection (apart from a clock surround), that's something that doesn't bother me. A good, aerodynamic lid really helps, but it's also a natural speed-limiter, you can still...

Bit of a newbie question (especially seeing as I don't own a Boxer just yet)... Bear with me here... :) I'm strangely drawn to the R1150R & especially the Rockster, enough to have me scuttling off & counting up the pennies in my piggy bank. I'd love to be able to afford an R12R, but that isn...

Did a BikeSafe course a few years back, and was a wee bit concerned about my "not exactly whisper quiet" exhaust. Thankfully, there were a few others with slightly exuberant cans, all with the same concern, however, all we got was "sounds nice" from the guys running the course. :...

To be fair, although the S1000RR's have run in previous TT's, I don't think that there have been any that have had full factory support, and engines prepared by the M Sports Division before. Steve Parrish "interviewed" the German engine tech in one show. Like him or loath him, Michael Dunl...

He was heard saying "Fair play" on the TV coverage after they'd got him stopped & showed what was up, though nothing was said about it in the commentary or after the race.

Any connection between Norton then and Norton now is the name, he has no right to lay claim to any heritage. Triumph never have, a clean sheet was started when they began in Hinckley and the brand has made its own reputation quite separate from anything that went before. Though to be fair, Triumph ...

That bike looks kind of like the evolution of the R nineT, mixed with some Monster/SuperDuke/Speed Triple DNA.

Bikerhoss & Steve, definitely sounds like the R is what I'm looking for, though you could say exactly the same about my current bike, a 955 Speed Triple. That pic looks familiar(ish), but it could be any one of many locations. We are kind of spoiled up here with nice roads & scenic views on ...

Surely you mean "Sam Brown & Derri Boots"?

Hi and welcome. Obviously it depends on your budget, but another option worth looking at and very similar in to the R1150 is the Guzzi Breve 1100.Yes, yes, I just picked one up :oops: Have to say its a bit of a revelation and a bike that often falls under the radar. Thanks for the welcomes. :) Biza...

Considering getting a boxer at some point in the future, so have been doing a little research into them, when found the forum. What better place to do some research? :D :wink: Much prefer unfaired bikes, so I was looking into the R1100/1150/1200R, though I must admit that the R11/12S is a damn fine ...
