Greetings XR owners,
I'm admin over on s1000rrforum.com. Some of you may know or recognise me. I've had 4 RR's and have finally decided its time for an XR. Ridden them extensively in the past and was just ignoring the discomfort of the RR as I loved the power and handling too much. But my main type of riding is multi day mountain trips with 800kms a day so the superbike was not cutting it after around 10 years of doing it.
I'm an expert on the S series models so I'm sure I can help out around here with any tech questions you have. I'm a BMW Motorrad tech by trade and have transitioned into managing a service department at a new dealership. Have past experiece in a head office tech support role as well.
I service BMW's from home in my spare time and modify the TFT dash and other electronics.
If anyone needs VIN's checked or part numbers please let me know, I can provide it accurately and quickly.
Hope to be a helpful and contributing member of the XR forum.

Welcome to the forums,
Expertise is always welcome!
And as a BMW aficionado I'm sure you'll agree the XR is the superior bike

Welcome Benny from the other side! Does this mean that you have or contemplating replacing your RR with an XR??
