S1000XR

It's just so...

...damn...


fucking ugly.

Looks like the love child of a multistrada and a tiger

I can't say that's ugly...actually quite a well balanced design...I can however vouch for the engine...rewrites the rule books...power from idle to redline...and in any gear.

Yes they've crippled it by giving it more md range and only giving it 160bhp.

I'm taking the GS Adventure out on Sat. I'm expecting it to be very similar in my overall opinion

I kept hitting my right shin on the cylinder head at junctions on the GS. You'll have Muay Thai shins after an hour

Ha! It'll be a giggle, but now you mention it I used to knock my knee on the RHS crash bung on the R1....

No...the engine is nowhere near the performance of the 1250 Triple.
