This link is to the local BMW dealer and its mechanic's performance pages.
He did Dyno's etc and has set out all his findings.
He posts irregularly on the board but his personal R1150R graphs the search for the perfect combination.

I was at a very high point on a mountain. I killed the motor (with the key Very Happy ), snicked the ST into neutral. and proceded to coast the next 10 miles at up to 80 MPH thru sweepers and twisties in absolute silence, brakes worked fine only required a little more lever pressure. ...with premiu...

We are up to $1.30 per litre of premium and about $1.20 unleaded petrol. The positives are that the proliferation of these ridiculous sized 4WDs that only ever see the wilds of inner urban areas will be stemmed. It has got to be hurting some people as the price was only 90-98c litre less than 6 mont...

Great pix. Brings back memories. I remember when i first saw Stonehenge i could not believe how small it was. I think you build up expectations of well known places and then the reality is different. (Like the pyramids where the shanty town comes right up to the edge. You only ever see the postcard ...

.......wasn't Elvis on here at one stage?

.......VMC 217.........

If you're ever in town you can take DJ's for a spin.

Seriously.
Enjoy your future and whatever you are going to do with your time now you are R'less. Always sad to see a board member sell their R and leave.
Good luck.

Also DJ - Many of the 'good' roads are closed over Winter. Only accessible by tracked vehicles. I do regular trips over the mountains to Corryong - We should meet up next summer. Maybe a 'bash' of some sort? Sounds like a plan! Feb/March/April would be ideal. There should be a few takers even if it...

DJ, and other Vic/NSW riders can book in for the BMWMCC Club ride over the Cup weekend. http://www.bmwmccvic.org.au/event_calendar.html Boxerboy, Feb March would be a perfect time around there. The last club ride on cup weekend included the best of both worlds. It had snowed for two days before we a...

sounds like fun. I may do the same thing during our summer. Our club had what they call an "Icicle Ride" last Saturday which starts at midnight and ends at 6am......in the dead of winter! No thanks. I like your idea better...........mid summer with a full moon.... I am inspired. Can you ta...

.........yeah, looks simple.........I bet if i tried to do that i would
still have parts left over when i had reassembled it!

.......$10 "no-name" chromed tip!

That does look great on the bike. Thanks for taking the pix for us. Like I said, you do have to see it in context on the bike before making a final assessment. I like it. In fact, i think i like it the most out of all the 1150R screens, although the BMW touring screen is also a great looking screen....

I have never been able to see a pic of this screen actually on the bike to get a comparison to the other shields. Ditto..........Have never seen this fitted to our bike which is the only way to get a good idea of how it looks. As it stands, it looks a bit dowdy in the pic compared to the others ava...

Great stuff......those pics of the bike and the long open road have me itching to go on a nice long trip! The bike looks great. Thanks for the write up. Well, the weather cleared up and Mother Nature gets the award this year! It hasn't been this GREEN for at least a decade! Hey! You guys are taking ...

BTW...marko that 15 klm law... over here is now only 10 klm..

Sh4t!! ...that combined with the ludicrous 40km/h on highways near schools at various times........why don't we just walk!!!
Time for a revolution....

wow, sorry to hear that Pat. I hope you keep contributing to the site (no doubt you will) and maybe even be tempted to get back on the bike as you keep abreast of all the new Beemers (and other bikes) being released........ I hope you get out of your latest ticket and decide what is best for you. Ou...

I might meet you after you finish work one day and I'll follow you home...just for the heck of it.

...You do and I'll call the cops........there are stalking laws you know!':

Wow, great stuff.
Must put you in a good mood to start the day like that.
Look forward to the vid or some pics of the area you described if you get a chance.

...what about the "Stay with the R1150R" option???
