On the subject of spot lights...the otherwise excellent GS lights don't illuminate the apex of the corner when leaning! So if ever there was a case for them...

congrats, its a beaut and just in time for summer...might have to get that car painted to match though.

Thanks fnfalman, think I'll give some of those Metzlerellis a try.

The tyre dealer said sports tyres had no place on a bike with the weight, torque and engine braking of the Rockster...and I've enrolled on a Police training course to deal with the other wear issues

Tyre pressures okay and the roads are not warm here yet. I think the problem is with the type of riding: lots of short leisure runs ridden enthusiastically - so not clocking any miles on a steady throttle. The Boxer twin is a bit lifeless until opened up then the thrust of the bike is staggering. It...

I don't suppose a bike with the weight and torque of the Rockster is going to go easy on sports rubber (Pilot Sports) - but 1,000 miles tyre life! Of course I don't want another one of those and as the front is good my question is...can I mix a sport touring rear with the sports front to get the lon...

'Edition 80' it is the white Rockster special to celebrate 80 years of Boxer twins in 2003. Check out Toner's pics. No difference as far as I can tell from other Rocks but has ABS and heated grips as standard. Apparently they turn cream in the sun according to other threads on this forum which is a ...

Picked up my edn 80 on the weekend and put a few miles in even though bl**dy freezing here in Wales. First impressions are - why don't more peeps ride these bikes? Handles, pulls like a train up to the ton, beutifully made, and quite cheap now...Before the test ride I was given a long telling to by ...
