Lots of lads on Ukgser bought XR’s and promptly sold them to retain licences and keep out of jail! The early ones were really plagued with vibration right at motorway speed defeating the reason to buy one as an alternative to a humble GS.Originally Posted by downer
My GS is in the dealers for warranty work and the loaner is this S1000XR:
Without doubt, a bit of a weapon which certainly encourages the inner hooligan as the acceleration (and noise) is a bit addictive - to say the least.
I found myself wanting to change up out of 6th gear all the time and I'm not sure I'd want one as an only bike but I have to say I love riding it.
Spec-wise, it has almost double the horsepower of my own four cylinder motor...
