Hello,
One of the best bricks I think - I have had all of them except the K1 which IMHO was styled way ahead of its time. I even liked the (some would say) garish graphics!
Maybe I need to scratch that one as prices are rising...
Nice choice!
Best regards,
David

Thanks David. Hopefully I can get the insurance & tax sorted out tomorrow and the sun will shine(!) and I can report back on how it goes. In the meantime I can confirm that a thermos flask and packed lunch fits in the rear pannier bodywork!

I really like those! And especially like the red/yellow and blue/yellow.... probably beacuse my eyesight is fading as I get older and they appear to stand out a bit more for me
Cheers
Pete

Quirky - Which is what you want from BMW's idea of a sports bike! Given the weight (which disappears on the move) and 'only' 100bhp it goes really well - loads of old skool torque and neutral handling. It can cover ground deceptively quickly. Great with a pillion too.
