Morning All,

Quick hello and small intro

Today might just be the day I sign for my 2nd S1000xr, the previous one I really enjoyed but that was a 2015 Sport (black forks), that made way for a Superduke 1290r special edition at the end of 2016.

Due to wanting a change and something to undertake a fairly big euro trip later in the year, I simply couldn't think of a better bike to tackle that and also something to take out for the occasional weekend hoon.

Therefore If today's test ride goes well then I expect to be the owner of an XR Se HP Style in the coming weeks :thumb

I'll keep you posted
 
DOn’t think you’ll be disappointed - and a known quantity for you.

I came from a TC1200adv, and wish I had done it earlier...........

Don’t think you’ll be so impressed if fitted with T30 tyres, though

Presumably some oem Bridgestone fitment are they?

Well that's a relatively quick fix, last tyres I ran on Superduke were the M7rr so unless there's a better sports road tyre then I'd probably opt for them again.

Just pop the T30 back on when I no doubt sell this in a couple of years :)

On the last bike I ended up with the HP high seat, I don't think I get a choice on the new HP Style XR, hopefully the standard height HP one feels right, if not that's the first part I'll sell to fund the 855mm version
 
I think they all come with T30 in the UK?

Metzeler Roadtec 01, Michelin Road 5, Conti RA3 all get great reviews on the XR, and if you are a fan of stiff-sidewall tyres - the Dunlop Roadsmart 3.
 
Morning Sir.

I’m coming up for the ‘big’ service on my XR and I have no hesitation in getting it done and ploughing on more milage.

Nowt else on the market does everything I need....a superb tool and great fun.

Hope the test ride goes well.
 
I've heard rumours of a new S1000XR from Bmw later this year. ?

Yep. To be expected. Probably more farkels for the fashionista brigade and less feather like vibrations for those that prefer the sewing machine sensation of a ride. Hard to improve imo.
 
Well that went well, I'm such a sucker for shiny new things, almost like a magpie of Motorbikes.

Ok, sign me up :blast

Deal done, New XR Se HP Style inbound

Now then, the parts required:

Grab handles
Sc Project High Level
Tail Tidy
Rad Guards
Tinted screen
Carbon mudguard
Carbon hugger
Navigator 6

Sigh.... I've been here before so many times and yet never learn

If anyone has any of the above give me a shout, seems I'm an easy target at the moment. Wouldn't change it though. great bike :)

Yes they do so I'm told, they felt 'ok', but thats about it really.

Im sure they're capable tyres, but i prefer more feel and i felt when pushed they give very little feedback. Ive asked the dealer to switch them out for whatever i send them ready for handover day. I'll order something online and ship direct to them, the T30's can stay in the garage until it gets PX'd again in a couple of years ;)

The conversation pretty much went

"I'll take one, but only in the fastest colour "

"then you sir need the HP Style XR motorsport "

"done, sign me up"

Please God tell me they didn't rip me off? ;)

What’s the problem with the T30s ? I’ve been pretty pleased with them on my Crosstourer, they replaced Pilot Trail 4s . I can run off the edge of the tread on the T30 which I didn’t on the Michelin’s. I was actually going to fit Roadtecs before the T30s but at the time there was literally no stock available in the country in a 19/17 combo and Bridgestone we’re doing a deal so they cost about £65 less for the pair too. I’ve had two rears on and one front & now I need a new pair in the next few weeks.
