I certainly will.Does he wear a name badge?
Yep name badge, 6ft tall, not much hair you can't miss him .
Well, he wasn't there.
But I spoke to a couple of the senior BMW bods who confirmed that this is indeed a pre production model, and there will be a large number of changes made to the bike before it is released. Including the finish of the plastics/ paint.

that may well be true,so why rush a piss poor product through?? wait till London with a more finished item.
They will bounce back with a better product for sure but this must have cost them some early orders.
Not been many comments on the RS? Is that a good sign?

So the question ! What did you think ..
I liked it. As we all agree, once it has the finished plastics/ finishes, and it looks like the finished article, it should be a great bike. If I wanted to go back to having one bike in the garage, this could be a contender, but for the time being, I'm happy with what I have.
I'd certainly wait until 2016 before buying one, if I was in the market though.thumperbob2002

I've gig the s1000r. This bike has a higher centre if gravity. The s1000r will wheelie everywhere. The xr will probably be pretty unmanageable.
I thought they had lengthened the wheelbase on the Xr to help stability !

4 inches. With that engine i can't see any major difference. Though the bike is a lot heavier than the r.
Well it better be good, i did have confirmation from BM HQ, the bike will have several updates before final production and the plastics will be updated, seeing as I've got a voucher to use, a gesture of goodwill from BMW it makes sense to place my order (even at £15k it will still be a relatively cheap bike for me due to having a voucher to use that is only applicable for 6 months)
I'm no 13 of 19 bikes the dealer is having nxt yr.

Very brave, that.
Yep i agree with you Bob, but as BMW have brought my bike back and given me a voucher offer thats only open till april after this time the voucher is void and must be use against a new bike, its a gesture of goodwill, its a no brainier, i cannot lose .
I was told "June" for first deliveries............
I had planned on changing my 1200GSA in the early spring - for either an LC GS1200 or fancied trying this new "Multistrasse"..........
June's too late for me though

That's for the basic bike I think. Multistrasse- I like that!
If the pricing is correct the full monty version should be no more then 2k over the stock, surely !

According to those nice chaps at BMW apparently not.
