Hi there;
I'm doing a feature for MCN called `Why I had to have a BMW Boxer Cup' and wanted some owner opinions on performance, handling, reliability, top tips for other owners, mods made etc - plus why you simply had to have that model.

MCN would also need a head n shoulders type pic, plus any pics of your bike, especially modified examples, or particular accessories fitted etc.

The deadline is 27th Feb 2006, so if you can spare 10 mins chatting, please email me a contact number - or email your views to;
alastairw100@hotmail.com

cheers - all feedback is welcome

Hi Alistair,

Any particular reason why you're restricting yourself to the Boxercup variant of the R1100S? You know it's essentially just a paint job away from a "regular" R1100S.

Cheers,

Paul

What Paul said.

It may actually be a good opportunity to clear up some of the duff gen that's been going around in the various journals about 'uprated suspension' and 'an extra 10bhp' etc...

As has been said, the BCR is an 11S Sport - which has longer shocks, wider rear wheel and a steering damper over the cooking S - with a racier (and rather nice I do admit) paintjob, and some carbon head covers of course.

Hi alistair
If you want to do a good feature on The S,then may i suggest you frequent our meet up in may at burton.Ther will be an array of bikes ranging from modified to stock.Plenty of photo ops and the chance to gather some choice quotes no doubt.It would be a good follow up to the feb article.

Ditto - The standard ones seem to go round the bends just fine :D
