MCN Feature on BCR

Postby davida67 » Mon Oct 06, 2014 6:25 pm

Just wondered if anyone else had seen the post on the MCN website calling for owners to get in touch about a forthcoming MCN feature on the Boxer Cup?

I responded to it yesterday but unsure if it's just the later BCR or the earlier Mamola which they are looking for.

No doubt the spec of the BCR once MCN is done with the article will state Ohlins suspension, just as bike magazine did.

Given I sent them details about mine (with Ohlins) you might be right!

I've not heard anything back from them since I sent it.

I thought I read a recent review in MCN last time I was out at the local BMW dealer (2 weeks ago?) Might have been a week or two old, at the time.

Only scanned it quickly, and couldn't steal it - cos they were watching me :?

They summarised with:

"We found that the RWB model was faster and generally superior to the Randy-pandy model, but both models benefitted from the fitment of rim-tape" (I'm paraphrasing....... :wink: )

Al :D
If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works ..... :?
