New bike!
 

Now I know it's not an Sv, perhaps I'm no longer allowed to be a member of this forum as I didn't buy a Triumph as my next bike! I thought I just post a couple of pictures of my new bike before I get chucked out of the Forum!

Hope you all like it :D

Nice bike, all you need now is the blue flashing light!!

Re: New bike!
 

Nooooooooooooooo

What are you doing!

Never put your crash helmet on the seat, i learnt the hard way, doubt you'll want near enough £500 quids worth of lid blown off your bike and bouncing on the floor

Purrrty bike mate i like the S1000RR myself but i do like the look of that, have fun :)

Re: New bike!
 

Lovely bike

You say you were thinking of a triumph? I am assuming it would have been the sprint GT?

What made to choose this bike over a triumph if you don't mind me asking, just curious

Cheers

Re: New bike!
 

I was looking to buy the sprint ST. I had a go on one and for some reason it just didn't do it for me. I tried to talk myself into it and even had another test ride booked for the ST and GT.

Then I went for a ride on this bike and found it amazing. To be honest it's probably too much. Lots more features than the ST or GT, traction control, ABS, heated grips, full on board computer that even tells you tyre presure and the best bit...quick shifter (gear shift assits in BM language).

The other major thing...no chain.

The BM is a lot more money but it's alot more bike, well I think so, better bike than the VFR1200 also I rode.

Yes should of learnt happened once alreday!

Thought you were on about the change in the bike for a start!

Re: New bike!
 

Did it come with compimentary BMW slippers and pipe????
Can't see any pics as on works computer but hope you enjoy it. Justy don't let all them toys distract you whilst riding!!!

My god at 31 do you think I'm the youngest ever BMW owner #-o

Re: New bike!
 

In that case you should also have a BMW nappy too. Or is that for the older owners???

I looked at the naked 1300 R last year but it cost way to much, nearly double what i paid for my CB1000r. It was alos a lot of work to throw between corners. Very well built and put together machine though.

nice bike but.

is that your house. ? is that your view.

u lucky sod.

Re: New bike!
 

Awesome bike, I was looking at these (amongst other BMWs) while I was still pondering a change of bike. Decided to put it off for now though.

A far nicer alternative to the new VFR, Don't like the sprint GT either as it ditches the underseat exhausts which I really like the styling of :)

Hope you enjoy the bike!

Re: New bike!
 

Nice ride matey.
How come you didnt get on with the ST?, i think mine is brilliant :D
I love all the gizmos that you have on it, have BMW got rid of their unreliable problems now?
I know they went through a spell of having problems with one thing or another.

Re: New bike!
 

i liked the underseat exhaust too, again that is why I wanted the ST.

I know they're a fantasic bike and wouldn't knock anyone for buying one. I think the black one is the best colour option to.;) I don't really know why I didn't buy one. I tried a 55 plate, the newer ones might be better, perhaps I'd already got my heart set on the K13. Bikes are like that. I just gelled better with the K than the ST.

Re: New bike!
 

No that's just the servant quarters ;).













I wish, yeah thats the view from the side of my house lovely isn't it :D. It's a picture of the bike outside the garage. the house doesn't quite match the views...just a three bed semi

Re: New bike!
 

That's wow!
