True, but these two roundabouts near Leatherhead (coming off the M25 from the west, down to one then a dual carriageway to the next), there'd frequently be some boyo on my tail into the first one and I'd gun it to the next and they'd appear in lane 2...going backwards. Hmmm. It was probably wet.Rockburner wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 5:49 pmLow down pull, for low speed accelerating out of corners, is what the BMW twins are best at.Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Oct 19, 2023 5:24 pmNot exactly a 'best seller' then. It was a pretty good bike tbh and did what it said on the tin (although, no doubt, some will argue with the 'S' part of the designation). It was comfortable enough for two up touring, took some proper luggage rather than stuff bungee'd on and went and handled OK if you wanted to be a bit sprightly on the commute. I think I surprised a few people as they came off a particular roundabout thinking they'd get set up for the overtake.
Whoops.... I did it again!

Take the bits you want and flog the rest to Motoworks! It's going to be a ball ache otherwise, for something you don't need.

I've just seen this listed on The Bike Bay!
EDIT:
No it's not, it's a very similar bike with loads more miles on it!
