Hi I'm just puting my toe in the water so to speak having just bought a R850R 04 model. I havent even picked it up as yet but thought i would sound you guys out.. :)
I havant seen any mention of R850R as yet so hope i'm in the right place....i don't quite know why i bought it and wonder if i have made a big mistake not going for a 1100 but it was a real bargain :D Having given up on a R1100s my real dream I let my head rule my hart here as in reality i use a bike mostly on B roads these days.
Anyhow my worry is i will find it a BIT slow.. :oops: so can any one here point me to gaining a little more emph from this otherwise handsome bike. :doubt: I gusse it would be dump the cat and a tuning chip/air box mod but were to find this stuff and would the result be worth the effort....anyone here helpo with this.

You haven't even gotten it home, and already you're looking to hop it up?

Maniacs, these British, I tells ya!

We've got a few 850's in the group; you might try posting in the "Other BMW bikes" section.
