Just had an email from the dealers they have their demo R1250RS in the showroom, think not ready to test ride but at least it's in. Will go and see tomorrow.

just been up to Carlisle and looked the bike over, underwhelmed by imperial blue first of all thought the bike was black!!! I think the hornig sat nav holder may work on the new bike but worried that it might impede viewing the TFT screen, brembo brakes front and rear and slightly disappointed they are still using the metzlers Z8 tyres though I dont have too much complaint from using them on my current bike.

I gotta say that I like the symmetrical look of the new front end!

Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #4 I agree as have had 2 pairs on now and cannot complain, just think that BMW might want to consider putting on the latest tyres from the manufacturers say the roadtec 01 so I can try them rather than tyres which I guess are 3 to 4 years old on a bike costing over £16000 my first honda when I got back into biking had tyres first introduced 10 years before I bought the bike!!!

Zitat von andygriff im Beitrag #9Zitat von Bunter im Beitrag #8 Sadly not but there was a presentation about the RS which mentioned that they had cornering headlamps. Can't find it now if course. Perhaps you know where I saw it 😎 |

Chandlers Brighton also have a blue 'Exclusive' on the shop floor. Apparently the first release from BMW are all Exclusives as dealer showroom bikes . Personally I am keen to see the yellow 'in the flesh'. Double Lupin owner |
