Well i'm enjoying the new bike upto now, pretty well got my head around these funny indicators (only blown the horn once exiting a roundabout) and its more than quick enough for this pensioner!! Looking forward to taking it up to Moffat and trying to keep up with you all!!

I feel an outing to Jack's in Towcester brewing...

Paul that sounds a good idea. A great opp for me to visit Nathalie at Farthingstone, squeeze in if at all possible a track day at Silverstone be it in our Red Italian four wheeler or my Racer.

Peter. A mature , considered choice of bike. I have long been a fan of middleweights and also taking every opportunity to use my bus pass

Do not dismiss the BMW luggage It`s only what a gentleman deserves

Helpful suggestions

Avoid a Bertie Basset top box (spotted in Ullapool recently)

Edit. There exists a german online seller of discounted BMW luggage by the name of https://www.bmw-motorrad-bohling.com/uk/

Hi Chris,
Already seen the German retailer, -----might just have to do a few extra days at work before I splash out, decent saving to be had and makes the panniers a possibility!! Not a great fan of top boxes myself. Have splashed out on a decent tank bag already though.

[herrman]

Hmm, I seem to have ordered a pair of colour matched panniers for the XR-- a few extra days work I think!!

[boxerscott]

Good Choice.

Glad to hear you are back out on bikes and enjoying it Peter.

Haven’t looked too closely at the reviews of the S900XR, but have to say - it certainly looks to be a handy bike.

It’s up against some stiff opposition with the Tracer900 etc.

Must mention it to Dorsetboy (Mike the bastard) as a possible replacement for his Tiger800.

Enjoy!

Hi Al well it seems to work for me,The S was getting a bit long in the tooth and whilst I still enjoyed it time for a change.
