Aren't the US spec bikes notorious for being more restricted due to emission regulations? For the OP: V4 and crossplane crank bikes will feel like they have more oomph lower down in the rev range. That's just the nature of the engines. And the move to ride-by-wire throttles means you no...

Mr Cummins did make the place famous for us Southerners. However, any opportunity to take a jab at him has to be taken :)

Did you also happen to test your eyesight while at the castle?

Well I didn't need to create an argument. BMW have agreed to cover the parts cost. Dealer messaged today saying they hope to have all parts by end of the week and I can have bike back at the weekend. Not sure the weather will find that agreeable though. Can't make up its bloody mind

Had my call back from BMW today. And it is the oil pump that has gone. They're asking HQ if there's any goodwill available to change the part.

Having spent most of my riding life in West London, the opening up of bus lines to motorcycles was most welcome. Though it was only TFL run lanes and some of the local council operated lanes were not opened up to bikes, which does make it annoying. Recently moved up to Northamptonshire. Still...

I think mine has gone. Got a small leak coming from around the same area. Sadly my bike's warranty just expired :( Oh and local BMW dealer is fully booked until 9 April. So no riding it for me

Having not long moved outside the M25, I enjoyed getting a refund on my insurance

You make it sound like riding a bike is akin to playing Russian roulette

Interesting. I wasn't given that option and lately have been doing much less than 2,000 per annum. Barely been out on the BM this year due to various reasons.

I ended up going with Hastings (through the Bike Insurer) for my S!K. Paid about the same as last year with BeMoto. I was told by the BeMoto agent that they'd lost AXA as an underwriter.

Hahahahahahaha! I laugh at your paltry increases. 300%!!!! Guess who I won't be using.

I used to have a small JCB jet washer. Worked really well and lived a long life (over 10 years)

That is a very good deal for custom leathers. I got a custom Gimoto 1-piece through BMW and they weren't much cheaper (full roo, no air)
