Good afternoon cheps. Just bought a cheeky R1100S yesterday, first Beemer bike so all to play for. All good so far but then it's only my second day so only time will tell how I get on with it. Had a Harley 48 beforehand, nice enough bike for what it is but bit of a one trick pony and I got fed up not being able to go round bends.

I did 170 miles on it yesterday bringing it back home and the first thing I noticed and that I'm now a big fan of are those front brakes. Absolutely brilliant, best brakes I've come across yet (although I've only had five bikes in my life). On any bike I've owned I've always preferred relying on the back brake more than the front, mostly as a result of of losing the front end once on an emergency stop and bending myself but also out of habit. I also never liked the way the front end dived when giving it a handful but this one is rock steady - like it a lot.
