I've got an 2002 (52 plate) Randy Mamola BCR, and it has heated grips, laser end cans, panniers & rails.
I've wanted one of these for a while and I sold my 748 (which I had for 6 years) last month and got this one.
Cheers, Nick

Well done Nick. Welcome to the fold.
Congratulations on choosing the fastest, best looking BCR ever.
Just loose the panniers and rails
Oh..and don't drop it!!
Coincidently, I am currently trying to persuade a chap at work to sell me his 748. Go figure
Fear not, to go with the BCR, not instead of !

The panniers will only be on the bike for when I go to France in May.
Even more weird - the guy who bought my 748, had sold his 1100S last year and was then looking around for a 748 - he was amazed when I said I was buying a BCR.
You're right - IMHO the 'RM' BCR looks better than the later ones, mainly as I have a phobia about white wheels & I don't know why?
Cheers, Nick

Hello Nick,
I've had my 1100S for 8 years and having toured, commuted & just simply enjoyed "fun blasts" I cannot fault it, the combination of looks, feel and ability are simply special!
Late last year I sold my 03 748 with only 6000 miles on the clock, the novelty of great sound and looks were quickly lost on me and the mileage speaks for itself.
I hope you have a great time with you S & I'll be surprised if you're not quickly hooked!
Good luck, Mark

Hi Nick, welcome on board. I'm a newbie as well. Got my BCR 2 weeks ago and it's currently undergoing some minor mods (Laser collector and BMC filter).
Last bike was a K12S that crashed out at the Nurburgring leaving me nursing a busted back. But, Hey Ho alls's OK and looking forward to spring proper to start the season.
Good on yer boy.

Hi Horse,
I notice from your location that you are in Bishops Waltham - I grew up in BW [1970-78] & Swanmore [1978-88].
