Arrived today
So here we are, not a regular occurrence chez nous but a new bike arrived this morning, ten years since the last change to the two wheel fleet.
It has now done 55 miles, and it will be a keeper.

Re: Arrived today
Very nice and at last a decent scheme for the 1205RS
Re: Arrived today
Excellent choice. I'm having a test ride on one on Wednesday.
All the best

Very nice - and a jack of all trades.
The shiftcam engine appears to be reliable too.

After 250 miles, and exploring the Dynamic settings on suspension and motor my verdict is that the RS is very sophisticated. I like it a lot. It most definitely will be coming to Wales.
It is part of the family.

Re: Arrived today
Well Done Gawaine. A very savvie choice of BMW. It was pointed out that BMW made a massive effort to make the 2023 R1250`s different, aside from the best colour scheme , they changed the indicators

Re: Arrived today
Emissions. I reckon it is still proportional to the bike though and tbqh the original chrome/ satin ones have a pleasant character to them and are a quality fabrication. They do eat up a bit of pannier space though.BoxerCup R wrote:Happy new bike Gawaine, that looks class Mate but why oh why such a BIG 'can' BMW ?

I knew that, just wanted to 'vent'
Saw one at Douglas Park last week when I took first the r and then the XR for services. Very nice looking bike I gotta say and the can is better for seeing
