Hi from South Hampshire

Hi - presently on a 2013 S1000RR.  Test rode the XR on Saturday.  Then met Baron Von Grumble at Odiham airfield on Sunday - he was caning round the track day on a demo XR from Bahnstormers - and beating virtually everyone in the fast group on it lol.

Just need to decide if I can afford a new bike.  I was incredibly impressed by the test ride - the bike ticked every box for me, comfy, hoofing quick and all the toys one expects from a beemer these days.

   Welcome to the forum.  You've come to the right place to get more info from others who now own the bike.

Hi and welc mate get it bought my man, surely the rr would make a hefty deposit?... The Baron is a legend, is he as funny in real life?

Cheers and I have - delivery in 3 weeks !!  Chopped in the RR and my back is going to thank me for it.  Actually the day I took my bike in to be valued I met the Baron again at the dealer (we share the same motorrad dealer) - he was dropping off the test XR he had been given.  And yes he is as funny in real life, clearly knows his stuff about bikes and has a great sense of humour.
