I'll come clean.
Many moons ago I ran a basic grey R1100s for a while. Have been lurking around here for a while. Been through a few bikes since then and have a basic black Beemer in the shed, but only recently acquired a nice BCR and had it trucked home.
Sun was still shining yesterday evening after my chores were done. The rain promised to stay away. So I rolled it out of the shed for my first ride.
And second ride this morning. So I could compare the high and low seats.
What a sweetie! A tribute to the care and attention bestowed upon it before falling into my hands.
Purrs like a pussy cat. Rides well. I promise not to get it dirty.
Now - how on earth do I lock the mirror stems in the correct position? Now screwed in tight, but in the wrong place. Where's the lock nut hiding?
First ride on a BCR yesterday

Nice choice of bike though!
BTW follow the stem down and look underneath, all is revealed, 6mm allen key needed.

That is a beautiful bike!
BCRs are rare as hen's teeth here in the US.
Oddly enough there is somebody who lives nearby me that has the twin of my R11. Odd I only see hint when I'm driving not riding. Maybe he's got a spare key to my garage?
