It's not a race. We are not trying to buy the same bike.

I hope rudeboy Rune gets his bike asap.
I for myself WILL be riding wednesday 9/27.

No Santa this week and probably not within next 2 weeks either.

Got a letter directly from one of the guys of BMW in Sweden, telling me "No R1200R" in this weeks delivery, which means that I continue to enjoy the 12gsadv with his F800S companion instead of R1200R.

Next fill up on the F800S I will use V-power from Shell. Just to check if it changes bottom grunt positive as did the 98 to 95 octane change it negative when using Q8.

Life is hell :lol:

BMW in Gothenburg?

Post by TomatJerseyShore »

Kiwi60 and runeo,
I'll be in Gothenburg (Gotoborg) in October. Do you know if there's a BMW dealership there? I'd love to see the new R if it arrives there before I see one in NJ. My significant other is vehemently against me purchasing a bike b/f kids are a little older, so I ride my friend's R1100S on occasion. The local BMW shop has let me take out the Rockster and F650GS a few times, knowing that I'm not in the market yet. The F800 bikes and the new R are high on my "waiting list."
Thanks in advance.

Tom

Yes you did, and I am happy with you.
I will receive mine the 13th of October, but I changed from ESA to Öhlins in front and back. If I wanted ESA I should have to wait until this spring. It was a missreading by the reseller that I could have the ESA now.

Really happy to miss the ESA and upgrade to Öhlins. What a colour shock with the yellow Öhlins in this Massive black bike! I have dreamt about it in colour. Öhlins for eyes, butt and traction, and Akrapovic for ears and eyes.

best wishes
