I lost my tax if thats any consolation. That was the nail in the coffin for the blade im goin german got test ride later.
Oh no not another BMW! Some guy cut me and my girl up last week on his s1 but then failed to loose 70bhp of TDM900 down the 272! If that was me I'd take the BMW back for a refund! Lol
Got to try it first but i never had a bike with so many issues. Its in for a service today so got time to kill so i thought i would try the bmw. I tried the first one and got back on my k6 1000 and thought whats the point hopefully i will feel the same today save my self alot of money and try convince myself that my 2 stroke blade isnt that bad after all.
You'll love it! Why not go try another configuration like a twin or a V4, if I change I like the change to be big...lol
A friend took out the 1199 and said it was awesome but i dont think i could part with that much for a toy.
Know what you mean, you and Plake both think the Honda is poorly built? Generally I still think they are above average. Plake maybe some glue and lock tight will sort your problems sounds crude but may fix the niggles.. Ducati need gallons of the stuff! Lol
Dont get me wrong i loved my blade it looks and sounds great goes really well. Its just i dont think i should have to check the oil every 500 miles as thats how long it takes to drop to bottom of the dip stick. And put it on an optimate if its goin to be left longer than a week. Im really hoping that todays service will magicly cure the oil consumtion but i know thats not goin to happen. I thought honda were meant to be great on build qaulity but turns out my one isnt up to the standard i thought i was going to get.
I don't think it's poorly made, it's a brilliantly designed and executed machine. I've had a Ducati and 2 yams - never again!! I actually think it might be the acf50
