RHB Motorsports / Re: Next Generation S1000R
« Last post by RHB Motorsports on Today at 03:55:50 AM »I love my S1000R. Its the easiest to ride. And the most comfortable after a hangover lol. I think if a new model does come out it would be out in 2021 or 2022 at the latest. I hope they dont discontinue it like one of my favorite BMWs the K1300R. I kept putting off buying one and then it was discontinued.
IMO I dont think the SKR will be discontinued. My dealer said he sold more R's than RR's in the last few years. But thats one dealer. If they do come out with a 2nd generation it will be a lot sleeker than the current model. And the reason I said if they did make a new one it would probably come out in either 2021 or 2022. Ducati came out with the V4 in 2018. Now they are releasing the Ducati Street fighter V4 sometime in the spring of 2020. Aprilia is rumored to be releasing its new RSV4 in 2021 and the tunono should follow a year or 2 later. Would BMW drop its SKR while Ducati and Aprilia come out with naked bikes? Who knows. I hope they make something to battle against Ducati and Aprilia.

« Last post by nrthrnbkr on Yesterday at 11:03:36 PM »This article on the new XR is interesting :
https://www.bennetts.co.uk/bikesocial/news-and-views/news/2019/august/massive-update-for-2020-bmw-s1000xr
So it states that actually in the UK the total sales ranking (from launch) is XR/RR/R but by market and world wide its different with the rankings ending up XR/R/RR - the local dealer here said that RR sales are much slower (although there is a production delay).

New Member Introductions / Re: Coming from MT09
« Last post by Headf0x on Yesterday at 09:40:36 PM »I got my number plate from https://www.a1showplates.com/ The website lets you see how the plate is going to look before you order. Mine is... shhhh... a bit smaller than standard 
I've got a Vstream screen, bar risers, number plate, Evotech paddock stand bobbins, the rad guards (great value for money these guards) and Givi tank bag ring. And there I was trying to minimise my up-front spending on this bike
Bikes in my younger days used to be cheap to run too. Well, I used to not spend any money on maintaining them... same thing back then!
