“Looks, quickshifter, brakes, heated grips, suspension, gearbox and handling all excellent.
However, the mirrors are useless over 50 mph as there is way too much vibration causing hands to go numb probably due to the high revving caused by way too low gearing.
Also not very comfortable when touring as way too wristy and vibey as standard which is why I fitted pull back risers, tall screen and a comfort seat as well as neoprene grip covers.
Great for just gooning around on but don't buy one if you do lots of miles.”
“Great bike i had the s1000rr and went to an bmw Rninet but now went back to a sports bike the s1000r i got is really good it seems to turn in really nice and has a really good bit of power behind it good fun to ride. I got mine from douglas park motorrad service in their is very good would highly recommend the bike and the team at douglas park motorrad”
“Great bike heaps of extra's heated grips 3 levels of suspension super fast performance safe bike to ride but can get a little dull compared to April Tuono 1100.
My 2016 bike was too vibey for me especially on motorways, should have had a taller 6th gear
Very good reliable bike just lacks a little excitement.”
“This is the best all round bike I've owned. I use it every day as it's my main form of transport from Farnham to London. So not really a toy.
It gives me everything I need. Heated grips. Safety. Speed. Agility. Stops on a penny. Overall average speed 45mph consumption mpg 45mpg. Two round trips to work before I need to fill up.
Done 3000 miles in 6 weeks.
Best bits:
Rain mode
Heated grips
Cruise control
Grin factor
Worst bits
You have to keep your eye on the speed. It's fast.
My commute is the best part of my day.
Any loonies out there who try me at the lights. Haha. Boy can it lean. Really lean, agile and friendly.
Up and down quick shifters also make the bike very usable. Were these designed for the track. It should be that standard on all bikes.
In a nutshell, this fire breathing dragon is a safer and a more useable commuter than purpose built bikes.”
