Got to think Gentleman’s Express and embrace them. 🫡

Welcome, nice colour, enjoy that bike 👍

Yep changed now glad ur sorted 👍

Well, went out for Sunday breakfast with my wife (in the car), lovely sunny morning and as we returned home, got to a big roundabout (Barton upon Humber near Hull) and the lead Marshall came round the bend followed by a few hundred bikes on the DGR. There were some wonderful bikes, specials...

Hi RazMan, just be careful what exactly you order. Your Avatar says Roctane and they don’t have fishtails. The different exhaust options have different mounting points/pegs so may not fit. 👍

There was someone on eBay selling a lovely set of Zards (used) that looked mint for a good price, it was listed for a few weeks, might be worth checking there for a week or two incase they are re-listed.

Honda have been using single sided swingarms for years on very many bikes, tried and tested, including the Goldwing. I’ve owned a number myself. Never any issue whatsoever. I read a long time ago the very first K1300 versions had a 10mm rear wheel offset from the factory, and that may be what...

Looks really nice in that silver, very imposing machine, glad you like it Anibal and hopefully your knee will be better soon so that you can enjoy the better weather (even though we had heavy rain & hailstorms here yesterday!) 👍

I’ve had a couple of R850R roadsters in the past and put 17k miles on one of them, changed the front tire twice on it while I had it. Lovely bike btw. That had noticeably more wear on the sides than the crown of the tyre and it was uneven (felt wavy) very similar to your pictures. I remember...

Nice to see you Anibal, how’s the new bike going? Expect it’s a bit night and day 👍

I’ve got both, what exactly are you after? The standard seat on the Roctane is much more padded than the standard R18 so you sit noticeably higher in the bike and the raised handlebars (mini apes) compliment that. It’s a very comfortable riding position (for me). If you wanted to loosen the ape...

Treat yourself to one of these thread measuring tools (all over eBay less than a tenner). I’ve used mine loads over the years. When you know exactly what thread and size it is you can find something online or go to your local bolt supplier and pick something up. 👍

Tbh Ulrich I think those mileages are pretty good despite the wear (cupping), I don’t think I’ve ever got more than 8k out of a front tyre on any bike I’ve owned no matter what brand. These are very heavy bikes with a very long wheelbase and the contact patch is tiny so the tyre will be doing a...

Went for a ride about yesterday to enjoy the sunshine (on my red one) and on the way back stopped to fill up and grab a coffee from the service station, so parked up and left my bike in the parking bay. Anyway, wandered back over with my drink and was just people watching really when a guy came...

Welcome 👍 post a picture when you can 🫡

Nice 👌

There was (is) a YouTuber that goes by the name of Revelator Alf, I don’t follow him but am aware of him and he’s the sort that will jump on this with a clickbaity title to pull in views. He did it with the reverse recall and had his facts all wrong and talked the whole thing up. This is just...

If it’s on YouTube it’s gonna do wonders for the rep of our bikes, and residuals of course that’s let’s be honest, have had a hard time as it is. Sorry about your bike but wish you hadn’t posted it tbh. We all lose.

Is it anything to do with the new Euro+5 regs? My understanding is that these 2026 and onwards bikes are increasingly designed to be ‘tamper proof’ and the push to be main dealer serviced only. This is not just BMW but all bikes intended for sale in Europe. 🤷‍♂️

I tend to agree with all that, the front engine plate is going to get whacked by road debris no matter what we do, the only solution is to replace the mudguard for a longer one (a la TC or B for example). I was 50/50 whether to bother tbh but I’ve installed it now so will just see how it goes...
