Nope, MCE are terrible.

Yup, i have heard that so many times, which is why i'm paying £100 more this week on my renewal just to not go with them.

oh my, the red is 'different'

edd1e · 6 Feb 2015 at 20:00

p.s. you can ditch the tax disc now!

edd1e · 19 Feb 2015 at 18:41

Are you replacing it with something else unKle?

I can't keep secrets for toffee.

Yep in Black Storm Metallic, sport version with performance pack (for the cruise control, obviously)

Hang on a minute were you not ****ging the s1000rr off a few posts ago?

EDIT: No sorry, it was not you!

Congrats on the bike

you will love it i'm sure. Did you test ride one?

I think black is one of the best colours in the new shape. I must admit i prefer the 12-> comaared to the styling of the new one, but maybe it will grow on me. I will have a ride to see whats changed in the summer. Enjoy it buddy

finished getting it ready and took it for a spin.

edd1e · 16 Mar 2015 at 21:11

is that the one off eBay mate? or did you find another one?

edd1e · 17 Mar 2015 at 17:18

The joys of wheel speed sensors, speedo is bang on even after gearing changes

edd1e · 20 Mar 2015 at 06:44

675 is the best bike of the middleweight category imo. The only thing to be careful of is the pegs are quite high so if you're tall like me (6ft2) it can get a little uncomfy after long trips. I had a 675R, it was a great bike

Tell me about it, this was going to have me off had I not remembered to open the throttle.. the pistons in the caliper were 4 full pumps in...

Going to make sure the suspension is set to stock tonight, then see about getting it adjusted, because I only weigh 60kg I'm not really heavy enough for the bike, it doesn't sag at all with me on it.

Damper is on my mind... felt like selling the bike last night afterwards

My old 675R used to shake it's head a lot, got into a few slappers. Nothing to serious luckily.

edd1e · 1 May 2015 at 22:48

isn't it a new bike, what the hell needs fixing?

Raging......screw in 700 mile front tyre. No rubber locally in stock, lucky if I get anything in the island by Friday.

To add insult to injury the battery in car is totally shagged so will need to reaplce that just to have transport for the next week.

Not looking forward to pulling the front wheel off a S1000R either. Don't have a front stand so will need to source one of those also. Raggggggggeeeeeee

if it's not too late.. don't do what i did, you only need to loosen the pinch bolts on 1 side for the front, otherwise you will not get the spacer for the ABS sensor back in the correct position and could damage it.

just watched your YT vid. big improvement in sound and looks. Nice one.

It's not stupidly loud like the RSV4 GP2R or older S1000RR ARCS GP2R system too, which is nice.
