So ... after our brief revolution of Andalusia, we settled in Jerez de la Frontera for the MotoGP as guests of Aprillia team Gresini. Here are some photos

I think we just might do that one next year, 39 euros, no wonder it is a sell out. Pleasant part of the world for enjoying two wheels. Great photos. Thanks for sharing.

Question, is the r1100s now feeling dated ?

Yes Chris, I must admit the S felt like a heavy classic sport bike when I rode after the R1200R.

I liked the gadgets on the R, and enjoyed the cruise control on dual carriageways. But on the twisty road through Ronda I would rather have been on the S.

Two up on the R I found the forks dipping on the breaks a surprise, I missed the telelever. And Jenny found the rear seat less spacious than the S .... interesting differences.

But anyway ... we still have the Diavels :twisted:
