New Ride

[Sidecar Man]

Just got this to replace my S1000r. Looking forward to seeing what 210hp can do. Needs some work but price was right..

Master cylinder is at a jaunty angle! I absolutely fell for the brakes, lotsa feel

[MitsuJa]

Wow! My brain can't fathom what 210bhp must be like, I still find 150 a bit of a handful at times.

Lovely looker, not particularly into new bikes but I do like this.

Lovely but I just can’t imagine how you can hang onto
A 200+ hp naked

[Mr Tidy]

Surely it can't be as hard as hanging onto a sidecar!

I’ve got the Gen1 with the single bigger headlight, but other than that they’re fairly similar. It’s epic. Just a laugh to ride and take liberties on. You’ll love it. Totally bonkers bike that really shouldn’t have been made, but the world is a lot better for it’s creation IMO

This is a mate on his Tuono that I was behind (recording him) until I decided to overtake at 2:20ish.

I have a gen 1 M1R, mentalist bike, I did find it waaaay to much for the road to be honest. Also coming from a S1R.

I toured around Europe on it last year and didn’t really gel with it, found it a bit too firm and twitchy. Early this year I fiddled a bit with the suspension and managed to soften things up and something just clicked, really get on with it. Highlight this year was a 7 hour ride down to Cornwall in the rain trying to dodge as many of the motorways as possible, and even in the wet, it was epic.

Mind you I really don’t rate the standard tyres. I’m due a new set so going to try something else.

Also looks like yours has had the wings removed

Looks and sounds fantastic!

Almost bought one this year but decided on a GSX-S1000 because (for me) it was easier to use.

Hope you enjoy it mate!

Usually loads of odds and ends in the FB owners groups for sale.

I think that there is a Temu or Ali Express supplier that sells a load of carbon bits that lots of owners a happy with also if you are not that precious about where things come from
