So, hello everyone.
I sold my BMW S1000R this week as I simply could not get on with the ergonomics of the bike. Awesome bike, was just never comfortable on it. Age also doesnt help.
I test rode a MT 09 earlier this week and was then going to look at riding a Tracer, not as ugly as in the pics.
In the end Ive put a deposit down on a Deep Armour (I wanted Orange but no new stock, Im impatient) ABS model. With the free Akro, there is almost no value in buying 2nd hand. I got a bit of discount on the new price too, so happy with that. I should be collecting the bike tomorrow.
Ive asked for the 2015 ECU firmware to be flashed, I rode a 2015 bike and it was snatchy, the 2014 (my ABS bike is a 2014 bike although will be a 15 plate) will be crap. Only other issue I think will be to get a decent seat that I dont slide forward on the whole time. Other than that, not looking forward the 1000 miles of running it, lets see.
Any suggestions on comfort seats that dont cost an arm and a leg?
Also, I know there are recommended suspension settings. Im a bit of a fat bastid, any suggestions?
Will post some pics tomorrow once I collect the bike.
