Walterwille@faz.net writes well, google translate however......

There is very little comparable in the market to this highly bred Brummer, who with fat sovereignty strokes the lard thickly over the entire surface of the cudgel. All serious

Scenery is stunning, as for the bike colour it illustrates why Austin went out of business.

I love google translate, but is there a German speaker who can parse this: ""Konnektivitätsbrimborium"?

As I wind my way through my 40s, this "that the typical middle-aged RS customer�s eyes were no longer able to read any of the digits on the teeny, tiny LCD display." is something to appreciate.

Edit: The FAZ article author thought better of the Z8's than the PR4's. The RS I ordered has Z8's on them. I love my PR4's on my Rockster for the rain performance, but I didn't think about what was given up in the dry. Anyone have opinions on tires?

I strongly doubt that you will find anyone with opinions on tyres

For what its worth, my F800ST, F800GT and R1200RS all came with Z8s. When they wore out on the RS I had some Roadtec O1s put on, but for my "old man" style of riding I didn't notice a great difference other than the front seemed to be wearing faster than the Z8.

My new R1250RT has come with Z8s and I have been very impressed by their behaviour in the wet on such a heavy machine. I'm in no rush to change them.

Konnektivitätsbrimborium - connectivity paraphernalia

Metzeler Z8 - OE on my RS, I'd use them again if the price was right. Lasted over 7000 miles before the front started to wear unevenly, which is pretty good as the PR4 did the same thing on my previous bikes.

I love how UK insurance companies do reviews as well. I couldn't picture that here in the USA with our legal culture.
