I have been looking for a second bike to compliment my GS1250 for a while. I’ve test ridden the XR, Multi V4S, a Streetfighter, the S1000R, a KTM Superduke and a Tuono V4. I liked them all but not enough to buy them although it was a close call with the Streetfighter V4S - loved that bike.
Anyway, after having this S1000RR for most of the day yesterday for a second test ride across Woodhead and Snake passes, I bought it. It’s a fantastic machine. Incredible acceleration, handles great and you can pootle across town easily as well. Awesome for filtering by the way.
It’s also surprisingly comfortable too. I was in the saddle for well over an hour at a time and it was a nice place to be. I reckon I could even tour on it at a push!
I love the Hockenheim silver too and you don’t see too many with this paint job.
Really looking forward to getting this in the garage and after lots of consideration, am pleased that I have found what is for me, the ideal second bike alongside my lovely GS. It arrives in a couple of weeks.
