The front end is very stable plush handling even when things get a wee bumpy under rubber. relax, enjoy for what it is :) Chris I can confirm that a non ABS R1100S Boxercup remains very stable under EXTREME hard braking, even on a very worn Kielder forest road as I witnessed a couple of years ago w...
Sorry to hear about your bike being stolen. Presumably that was in London? How have your insurers reacted and will you be sorted in time for the Welsh weekend? Cheers, Paul Yep in London, from Paddington station car park which I thought was pretty safe as it has separate bike parking at a higher le...
Welcome aboard Sean, The 11S is a really nice bike when setup well, but I can't help but feel that your shopping list must have doubled the cost of your purchase? However it will be a really good ride when your'e finished. pic please
That is fantastic news Peter, Geoff is often in our thoughts and I have texted Keith a few times to check on his progress, but alas either Keith has changed his number or I got it wrong to start with, Geoff is a lovely bloke who loves his family, is very friendly and a delight to be called a mate, I...

Glad that you're ok Steve (sort of) that is a horrible thing to happen to you. if you don't go to A&E do you have an NHS walk in centre near you? you will be seen by a nurse specialist and usually much quicker. And if the police don't come to you, then you go to them and make a complaint against...
I believe that it is Chris, As I understand it, as long as your servicing is performed by a dealer who is VAT registered, and they use genuine parts and follow the manufacturer's service protocol, then under the "block exemption ruling" then you are still under warranty. This is designed t...
John, I understand your frustration, so many different terms for the braking system :x I think the 2002/3 bikes had Brembo calipers that were branded Bmw on the front of the calliper, but branded Brembo on the backside,my 02 R11S was non ABS. Others were branded tokico etc, I guess the answer is the...
