Just taken my dads BMW out of its hibernation, R1100r
Gel batterys had it, so thought i'd be nice and take it out and order him a new one so he can come out with me at the weekend

wtf were the germans thinking when they designed this bike!? both side covers needed removing, air box cover, inlet pipe cover on the left and a dirty great screw through the frame holding the tank in place. As***les!
Talk about weight saving though, its 7kg lighter......without a battery
