Ordered S1000xr SE Sport

[Gazk]

Yesterday I took an S1000xr SE Sport out for a test ride for the second time however the difference this time was I had my partner on the back.  As my partner was happy with the seating and the stance of the bike in general.  I've gone ahead and ordered a red SE Sport with panniers.

Having done a bit of a deal with BMW Wollaston for my Kawasaki Z1000se "I think I've got a fair deal", BMW are going to change the standard SAT NAV holder for my Garmin 590lm as the 590 does not fit the standard holder.  Ok I understand that the wheel on the handle bar will not work but I was not spending another 500+ quid on another SAT NAV having just got the 590.

All being well I'll be collecting the bike next Sunday "15th May" 

I'll be running it in as quick a possible as we're off to France in June to do the Normandy beaches, so I'll be using it every day to go to work and back and weekends out over the next few weeks to get it in for the first service, quick.

I still don't get it in this day and age why we need to do this with a bike, you don't have to with a one litre car, anyway running it in will be boring but I guess necessary.

Update next weekend once I have her

Happy days :)

Enjoy the bike

Why didn't you order the faster white version ?

Congrats you have just ordered the best bike BMW have ever made

Congrats. You're missing some great features by illiminating the wheel. Why not put the 590 on eBay and spend another few quid on the real deal? You have just bought a £16k bike after all!

I'd not be to worried about running the bike in even with the restrictor on more than fast enough to get you banned and some

Congrats. I've had the same bike for a few weeks now and LOVE it. I put the bar end weights on and in my opinion they are worth every penny. Nearly run in now after 110 Miles today and can't wait for a great summer on it.

hey I get what you're saying however the 590 Bluetooth's to my phone so if I need to make calls I can..... I look at it this way I'm in Europe and it's been hot all day and the thunder storm has just hit and we're lost, and looking for the Hotel on cobbles roads so I want to call the Hotel without taking any kit off, the 590 allows you to do this!

I do get what you're saying I really do and I have thought about it I'll be retaining the standard kit so it may be an option at a later date.

Fair enough. But the Nav V does that as well, IIRC.
