Since the 9th of January I'm the owner of a white S1000XR from 2016. After 18 years on a Kawa ZX9R from 2001 it was time for a more relaxed ride. Still addicted to high rev 4 in line engines and a need for speed I thought the most obvious choice would be the Z1000. Until I noticed the S1000XR. What a machine, with all the electronics and power and all. Who would ever think I should own a "beamer". One big smile from ear to ear.
