Re: Another BMW....
Well... range... The Official WLTP range for mixed driving is 273 miles. In Winter, in the pouring rain, at motorway speeds, that's nearer 180 miles. Now it's getting warmer, and I'm doing less motorway miles I'd say it's a comfortable 220 mile range, without having to drive like an old lady. Given...

Re: I’m officially middle aged apparently
I always laugh at the "GS Bleuch! - everyone's got one!" brigade....................... There is a reason for the popularity - stuningly capable bikes. The latest ones with the electronic shocks are getting a bit of a panning just now, so having the older simpler ones is a bonus I reckon. ...

Re: Lightweight wheels.
Blackal you were right and so is the hype. I really like them they made a big difference, the fear of potholes has subsided and now I'm just enjoying my new improved bike. Money well spent ( instant seat of the pants improvment ) than say a new exhaust. Now when my battery goes I'm going to replace...

Re: Arrived today
Very nice - and a jack of all trades.
The shiftcam engine appears to be reliable too.

Re: Tyre enquiry.
Road 4 have been superseded by the much better 5 and slightly better still- Road 6. I don't think the GT incarnations of any of those - is correct for the weight of the 1100s though. They are designed for the larger/heavier tourers. sports/tourers. You won't go wrong with Michelin Road 5 or 6, but I...

Re: Lightweight wheels.
They look very much like the BMW-supplied wheels for those bikes - I suspect they make them for BMW.

Re: Lightweight wheels.
Blackal you were right. Next time bike is clean will try and post some photo's. With suspension settings what do you suggest backing off rebound and comp slightly? Jeez!

Re: Lightweight wheels.
Yes - they are instantly impressive!
I'm not sure what suspension adjustment you do have, but the reduction in suspension inertia might be worth adjusting for.
How about a few photos as it looks now?

Re: Father forgive me ....
