Sorry to hear of your off, it's a big shock to the system as I know all too well on the same bike :oops: In my experience It happens so quick that it's almost impossible to remember what happened/fault/blame. Unless you only used t...

Here's my Euros worth. Got to try R1200S, followed straight after by F800 followed by K1200S. R1200S I deliberately didn't read any road tests on this bike before riding to get my opinion only. Now you got to remember i come from 2 years on CBR600RR after 5 years on an "S". Comfortable handle bar po...

Back to the old faithful eh Peter :D
It is a pretty bike still and if you know what you like, you go for it.
When is the best time to reward yourself?
Try and get to Burton if I can.

Cheers

Hi Jason, Glad to see you can relate this incident to us! It's when you reflect back and it all goes through your mind again...."Oh S**t"!! :shock: As you know, the secret is to learn from your experience. Amazingly many people repeat the same errors. :?

Rich, I reckon i used to ride on certain stretches of road quicker on the "S" than on my RR, especially when there was provocation! 8) It's the old chestnut about coming across machinery that you KNOW out performs yours so you ride the tits off the bike to prove the opposite!
