Zitat von Bikepirate im Beitrag #15Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #3 You been reading the Murdoch press? Hyperbolic disinformation. Blanket? The 20mph speed limit will be in urban areas only and local councils can choose to keep 30mph if they feel that is proportional. Motorways & dual carriageways will continue to have a 70mph upper limit and single carriageways 60mph unless signs indicate otherwise. Many towns and villages in England & Scotland already have these 20mph limits but the decisions are devolved to local authorities so rarely hit the national headlines. France and Germany have also adopted the same policy with 30kph limits in many urban areas. In France, there are some very silly short sections in rural villages because the central government offers a subsidy to the local Mayor to have 30kph and speed bumps, so you get 50m of 30kph as you pass the 12 unoccupied houses in the village, owned by Parisians. I will be moving to Mid Wales later this year and I was riding there on Monday. We did very few miles in urban zones. I do not anticipate any significant impact on my life from this measure, although I would prefer such decisions were made locally as in England rather than being a dogmatic decision by the Executive of the Wales Assembly in Cardiff.

Zitat von Bikepirate im Beitrag #15Zitat von Boxerboy im Beitrag #3 The Wales 20mph limit is the dreamchild of the devolved 'government' so was not originated by the UK Parliament so no chance of blanket UK adoption. God knows how it will work in practice. Local authorities can re-establish the 30mph limit if they want. I know long stretches of road in Wales with a current 30mph that are on main roads, on the edge of a town as you approach the national speed limit zone. The 20mph limit was desiged for densely populated town centres  Double Lupin owner PCP free |

Zitat von Becksy im Beitrag #23 If that's the screen the 1300 comes with...I see problems. One, removal and installation will be more difficult, and two, I would venture to guess that it'll be loud. Perhaps it's incrementally "better" than the current iteration, but if you want quiet... |

If we're getting into the details ( of a concept) the transalted blurb mentions the use of the rear indicators as rear lights too, as with the S1000 range post 2021. Having followed an S1000 for quite a few miles I think this would be the worst idea since the Tories chose Liz Truss as Prime Minister ... and the lights were about as bright as she was/is

Zitat von Windyrun im Beitrag #12 Looks like they used the R1200/1250R forks and front fender for the photoshop. They also used the non LED turn signals.
