Base R1 gets Brembos for 2025. Not the R1M, though 🤔

Odd that the R1M doesn’t get a set of Brembos.

Also Gerrard by University is still there

Still up on Murray St by Orde….except 1 of the 2 signs has fallen down and not been replaced, so you can tell where the spot starts but not where it ends! 9 times out of 10 there’s a car parked there and it never gets a ticket 😡

Take a look at the enforcement in some areas of Spain…,a purpose made, portable dyno to ensure they fall within regs!

Absolutely. But a for an “unentitled” motorcyclist, the risk increases with the other things I mention, no?

I have many years experience riding and driving as well, and the risk definitely has changed. More traffic/congestion, different types of road users (teens on electric scooters!), distraction, poor driving/riding skills, and an overall entitlement on the part of all types of road users.

A garage auto policy offers coverage for legal liability for damage to customers’ autos….so an at fault accident (I.e mechanic responsible while test driving) should be covered by the dealer’s policy. A not at fault claim (DCPD) would be covered by the owner’s policy as it is a first party...

Always worth reading the fine print! 👍🏻

Here’s an example of a test ride waiver from Barnes/Blackfoot. Language is probably very similar for others: https://blackfootonline.com/images/miniweb/misc/demowaiver.pdf

Letting someone thrash a bike with no consequences would lead to more morons I’m guessing 😂

Obviously it would need to be worthwhile for a dealer to go that route, but the same would apply for a car rental. You may also have coverage on your policy that would extend it to legal liability for damage to non-owned autos.

A garage policy would cover a dealership. Their owned autos would more than likely be covered on a “blanket” basis as is provided by that policy type. So an accident on an unregistered/unplated vehicle would likely go unnoticed. For demo rides, you would sign a waiver, likely accepting...

Should I start leaving notes on windshields on yellow coloured paper? 😂

Anyone ever see cars getting tickets for this? It seems to be an epidemic and I’ve got a real bee in my bonnet lol. “Vehicles displaying accessible permits are not exempt from the following site specific prohibitions, where parking regulation signs have been installed: No parking in locations...

I have one of those Transitions visors by Shoei. It’s great for the convenience, with 2 caveats: 1. The tint during sunny days isn’t as dark as a stand alone dark tinted visor. 2. As it reacts to UV, it will darken on cloudy days (when I would prefer a fully clear visor). YMMV!

And the KTM appears to be about 25lbs lighter!!! It’s a no brainer imho.

Heavier than the KTM….personally I like the looks of the KTM more (and this is coming from a former Hypermotard owner!)

So BMW confirmed that hard panniers are not an option for this bike. However, there are optional soft bags at 8 litres each 😂

Don't get me wrong, the V4 is incredible. It's just so smooth you don't realize how fast you're going, whereas you were quite aware on the twin!
