A new R NineT!

It’s a new bike, so my preference is to take it to a dealer (so any issues that might be warranty related can be addressed at the same time. London is too far - I live in Toronto proper, so the closer the better!

Thoughts? Experiences? I’m a new owner who bought a bike from BMW Toronto, but have heard people say Budds is the best?

I have been a GP Bikes customer for years (bought 4 Ducatis and a KTM from them over the years). I’ve always been an advocate for them. Their sales and service have been amazing. However, I recently had a service experience that has put me right off. I’d like to think it was a 1-off, but this...

I was definitely a bit concerned wearing Rossi gear at Valencia in 2015, but Spanish fans didn’t seem to care much surprisingly! There are definitely fans of other riders at Mugello....but there are bad apples everywhere. I’ve had some bad experiences wearing a Sabres jersey to Leafs v Sabres...

I was told on May 26th that mine has arrived in Canada....but I’m still waiting 😞

Mugello is an interesting place! Maybe it’s changed....I haven’t been since 2018 to be fair.

Well....maybe that’s what they’re supposed to do.... 😂

Grandstand? Poggio Secco obviously! Assuming VR is still racing. It’s actually in a pretty good spot. Start finish is a bit boring to be honest. I would also suggest booking the Scarperia spot. At least you’ll save on daily parking at the circuit.

I was smart enough to have a feeling that was going to happen, so booked an agriturismo as backup and sure enough.... I tried it again another year just for giggles and it was also cancelled. I have not stayed in Florence, but I can tell you the traffic is insane, and the police will randomly...

If you’re interested in some info, DM me. I’ve been a few times and can certainly provide tips. Tip #1 - DO NOT book on Airbnb. You might think you found a good deal, but once the owner realizes when the GP is happening (they should know already lol), they will cancel your booking and rent it...

Heard that BMW shipments land in Halifax, so the backup in Montreal shouldn’t be an issue. 🤞🏻

Does the owner really have an Instagram username on the tires?!?

Not COVID exclusively....more like a perfect storm of issues. These are unprecedented times (COVID alone lol). https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-16/shortage-of-new-shipping-containers-adds-to-global-trade-turmoil

I’m waiting. The issue is the shipping container shortage apparently. It sounds like there are now some bikes on the way over, so hopefully we will get our bikes soon (and dealers will actually have some to sell!). My delivery was supposed to be May but has moved to late May/early June. BMW are...

Well, guess I might reconsider the S1000XR then lol ?

Only as a 950 apparently. The 19” front isn’t appealing to me, but doubtful it would actually make much difference as far as my real world riding.

I did hear rumours of people who have had multiple replacement sets fail :(

Wonder if Peak is taking over KTM sales for that area? Really wish we had a dealer closer to the city!

I’ve had a couple (640 Duke, 560SMC, 1190 Adv), but none of them long enough to have a real opinion on reliability). The Duke had a weepy banjo bolt that the original dealer couldn’t seem to diagnose/fix, but I ended up taking it to another dealer that had a less than stellar reputation and they...
