Very nice Snerkler. Pick mine up next week some time - same colour etc. cant wait. Don't forget to thrash sensibly it from day one so you don't glaze the rings!!!

Me too

Loads of extras sitting in me garage waiting

He said some of the best running bikes they've seen are there demo's which have been 'thrashed' from day one.

If I was selling ex-demo's to punters I would say much the same

Running-in speeds

SIMPLES!

So you DO rev it harder, not many hills near my dealership though...

Pick mine up Sat, thrash thrash

There is a thread on this (running in or something like that...), but while we're here, spoke with the bike mechanic at work today (he is a fully fledged BM approved bloke, 30 years + in the trade, ex Ducati chief mechanic etc etc) and ran the whole thrash it from the start thing past him. He totally agreed!! . 'Don't dawdle about on it' he said, 'you'll do it far more good if you ride it normally' ....

Delivered mine to dealer by hand on Monday after changing from old GSA, extra 45 squid including £20 admin from BMW. Told them that if they lost it I'd not be happy, then they tell me that BMW (NIG) could have e-mailed it.

Anyway new satnav, HID's, bling and more bling
