S1000XR elongated Test run

When my dealer get's the new 2019 triple-black I definitely will give the XR another try...and maybe learn to live with the chain...;)
Love the bike,hate the chain...
 
Quick update on my review, the only niggle on mine was the clock kept resetting to Zero.
I got my entire dash replaced so when it was being done I deliberately requested a loaner GS just to see if my enthusiasm was waning.

I can happily report not at all, the GS was ok but slower of the throttle, slower in the bends and vibrations all over the show.

When I had mine, I did chuckle at all the GS owners talking about vibrations on the XR :blast:D

Surely you’re used to chains on your track bikes? :augie
 
On the track I can live with the chain because I put less than 1000 miles on a year...
And I agree...people who complain about vibrations on a XR should by Gold-Wings as a 1200 GS vibrates more than any XR...
