Fuck me, I thought that was Ange's bike when I saw the chicken strips
I thought the general consensus was that the Remus is shite on an X?

2) Yeah ... the Remus knocks the top end down, not as sweet as the decatted original. Sure JB came to that conclusion with his Xchallenge

1) Ha ha .... look at the profile of the rear tyre Tim
You need the elbow, knees, hips, shoulders and arse down to get rid of the chicken strips

I've run both Tim, currently my bike is fitted with the decatted standard can, which went on for the TAT trip.
If anything the motor felt slightly strangled at the top end when using the standard can against the Freeride Remus that i was running back in blighty, however, this was on regular US fuel, which had a much lower RON rating.
That said the reduction is noise far out weighed any performance increase![]()

So, I have my new mirrors, sump guard, engine bars, fender extender and tank pads, but no bike to put them on!![]()

You see what you have started now JB. I've been happily riding my X Country and slowly changing bits to make it how I want it for the last 3 years, And now the whole country and his girlfriend has got/getting one. You have single handily driven the cost of these great bikes out of the reach of us poor working class bikers.
So tell us all JB, How much do BMW pay you to increase the profile of bikes they can't sell.
cheers Dave.
