So........

After cancelling last weeks test ride having sort of talked myself out of it I succumbed and tried the thing. And what a thing it is!

I cannot add to all the praise and platitudes being heaped on this bike having set off with a decidely negative approach.

I knew i would buy one after 5 miles ! I think it is so bloody good it makes you laugh out loud with every twist of the wrist.

Any way i struck a deal that was too good to turn down and i will be taking delivery of a white one in August

Feckit ! got a test ride booked for 11th July .........I was hoping for some negative reports on this bike so I can talk myself out of needing one .......but at this rate, it looks like I'll be selling my should to the devil again :blast

My local dealership has sold both their demonstrator XR's the same day they were registered so I haven't been able to blag a ride on one, might've saved me some money

If like me you can resist anything but temptation do not test one !

That's annoying. I test rode one Saturday, and they said they had a cancelled order. I didn't think too much about it, but when I spoke to the DP, he said its end of quarter, so they'd do me a "deal I couldn't refuse". They lived up to that!

Delivery tomorrow. :JB

It took me a while to 20mph extra on to my corner entry, then I scared myself silly and decided slow was ok

A truly excellent machine, but not for the engine (which is a peach), but for the handling, it is sublime.

When I saw the first four valver (R1100RS) being tested at der Nürburgring in 1991 I wanted one, returned to Blighty and told Shaun at Rainbow I wanted one, I wanted the first one, and I wanted it in red :drool

1994 I took delivery of one of the first ... strewth, it put the fun back in to motorcycling. We said to ourselves back then, how the feck to they better this :blast

Every successive BMW just gets better and better and better

So how are they going to better the XR? Dunno, but I bet they will
