    Hi all, I’m almost back on a Fireblade. Oct 20 I bought a new S1000RR. The first 6-10 months I was plagued with recalls and break downs…. So now I have done a deal and I’m swapping my 2020 M Sport S1000RR for a 2020 CBR1000RR-R. It was so nice to test ride it and I felt back at home on it!
    so the deal is done, just waiting for a Honda recall to be done on the blade then happy days! I will post a photo when I get it

    Yep, the BMW is a noisy bike…. But a cracking bike. But nothing beats Hondas reliability.

    Welcome back, I have thought about getting the new BMW s1000rr a few times but changed my mind due to all the horror stories I keep hearing about their reliability.
    German cars and bikes seems to have gone downhill over the lad few years when it comes to reliability for sure :eek::(
