My S1000R is cheaper to insure than my R1250RT, despite the RT having one more year of NCB. It dunny make no sense.

I guess it's probably the value, but still.

Insurance... ffs.

Price to change policy to new bike was £NOPE. Cancelled it, got £21 back (they send a fucking cheque!!!), took out a new policy via a comparison site - WITH THE SAME INSURER - for about half.

Madness.

Have you read the LWR book? It's better still than the telly. Russians be crazy, like.

Fuck. I've cancelled my order now. Thanks mate, you've saved me. Rev - yeah every bike I've ridden with CC does that, the R is the most sensibly calibrated in that regard, ironically, as it's fucking bonkers in every other way.

Yes, essentially. I bought it for the engine, which is a genuine step forward whilst still retaining the unique character of the boxer twin that I really like. I know a lot of people find them soulless and boring, but they're riding them wrong so there. Gone is the flat spot around 4kish, always mad...

Yes. But that was yesterday, so you loose. :p

No, I have not bought that demonstrator I had for a couple of days. It was £21,200 ffs!!!

From an uninformed and theoretical level, would leaving the rear setup a bit softer help it squat more under acceleration and give better traction? Or have I been on the internet for too long today?

Softer end has more grip, as a rule of thumb.

He's your new boyfriend, I think. Top work peggers.

good thread.

Synology Surveillance Station for the win, AFAIAC.

Very soft hands.

I shagged his PA once. True story.

Actually I think it was twice.

Well all told that could have been a crap load worse. Depending I suppose how far your nuts are into the indi to get it to this point.

I always thought it was a shame he retired from F1. Nice bloke.
