I have just p/ex my Honda CBR600F 2001for a 2015 RS SE which I am collecting next week from North England. I can't wait. I test road one a few weeks ago down South and I loved the torque but thought the fuelling was a bit off but that might have been me as I have only owned 4 cylinder bikes until now. It's going to be a long ride there and back in a day (520 miles) but hopefully the RS will make it an easy ride back. Looking forward to reading through some of the other threads |

If you are unhappy with the fuelling fit a booster plug, irons out weak spots. had one on my two RS's and moved it to my new GS,improves the bike a lot, 10 minutes to fit too.

Hi everyone thanks for the welcome replies. The fuelling was an issue with another bike I test rode-the one I have bought sight un-seen (after my brother-in-law checked it out-I trust him 100%) is a different bike. I will bear in mind the comments about fuel. I will need to fuel the bike up anyway for the long ride home. Speaking of fuel is there a recommended RON for the 1200 engine ?With my CBR I very occasionally put some super unleaded in but usually just normal unleaded (I think that's 95 RON?) |

Hi guys. So, I collected my R1200RS on Wednesday from Preston, Lancs after dropping off my CBR600F. Great surprise when I saw the bike as there were several extras that weren't mentioned in the advert for the bike. I had seen the cylinder protectors and Givi screen on the photos but after spending some hours looking on the internet and checking the forum out for recommended accessories the bike already came with a 'Mudsling' to protect the rear shock, engine protector and 'Wunderlich' frame bungs, also Akrapovic downpipes and BMW satnav holder which again I hadn't seen on the advert, so all in all about £1000 of accessories; cue very pleased new owner. The ride back was great and I made full use of the cruise control. Total of just over 8 hours on the road for the return trip. Obviously spent yesterday washing the bike to clear all the dead meat accumulated on the screen and fairing. Next stop is check out a lower seat as I am on the balls of my feet at 5'6".
