late last yr i paid £350 for a set of road 5 tyres with fitting inc (120/190) - i prefer the road 5's over the S22's that came off and they last much longer , unless you do a lot of track days most...
the green thruxton and gold street are crackers.
dont think BMW will be that worried as their bikes will still be working after a few weeks riding :)
as nice as the superdukes are the 4 ppl i know that have had them ending up getting rid due to...
garage is always going to be the best - but forget about positive ROI and bike ownership :)

i got round the bad condensation during winter in my shed by using one of the oil filled radiators for a few hours a day in the winter - obviously not trying to heat a shed but it pulls the moisture...
how much have your bikes suffered from being outside? - are you using one of the fly sheet type covers or one of the shelters like this >
...
basic shed pours are enough, no one is going to be swinging around a 8/10 ft 4/5 " pour - its the chain and anchor point that matter (hard to cut)
the main thing is that the naked bikes of today are more comfortable and more powerful than the sportsbikes of 20 yrs ago, theres no need to have a broken back or numb arse anymore unless you want to...
not seen that make before , i use an abba stand and know a few people with abba skylifts (whole bike off ground )

ive never owned/used any comms on a bike , all i use are hand /foot signals for letting people know about potholes /police /you have left your indicator on etc etc.

i know a couple of ppl with the tracer 9 - fantastic bikes if you are looking for a midweight upright bike , if you are not bothered about touring and want something to rag on a sunday the MT09 is a...
how much do these small enclosed trailers go for used? - tbh it looks like if you remove the wheels it would make a nice small garden storage solution rather than an 8x6 shed i currently use.
if the R1 is anything like my M10 you would have been better off converting that to a spare fuel tank if trying to do any distance :)
Gpz 600 r was the first bike i purchased after passing my test, at that time most of the fast road riders had the yamaha genesis , friend of mine still has a Gpz 750 (he has rebuilt a few of them...
not sure tbh ive never tried , i use a 50/50 mix ratio of this stuff (like everything else it gone up a bit in price)- it cleans the chain and wheels no problem.
...
i just use a water based citrus degreaser (from amazon - about £15 for 5ltrs , water down and put in a spray bottle - also use it to clean the wheels ) - dry and use wurth dry chain lube.
i...

is everything a straight swap ? , i say 'straight' but i know it aint a simple job and are you having to modify the suspension and brakes as well? - will make an interesting bike for sure.
take bug repellant
make sure your waterproofs really are waterproof
pre download all maps for your routes (or make sure you have paper copies ) as coverage is all over the place

one of the pitfalls of a tail tidy :) , i went out yesterday to bridgnorth for a coffee on the bike - due to flooding a sewer had burst in danesford and a mix of water and raw sewerage was running...
tbh i dont think theres a bad supernaked out there , it all down to personal preference - ive said before on here if i was doing track days i'd have gone BMW or tuono.

i test rode an s1000r, sdr and gsx1000s before getting the yam , yes the bmw had the same performance but i felt it was bland as hell , the crossplane in the yam is something else .... tbh if it had...
