A Tale of Two Circuits - the Second One

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:
