I may be wandering over to the dark side. For the first time in my life, I visited a BMW dealer and "bought" an S1000R. I say "bought" because although it now has sold stickers on it and I've put down a deposit, the whole deal is based on me taking a test ride (which I couldn't do at the time) and if I'm satisfied with the ride the deal goes through, otherwise it's null and void and I get my whole deposit back. It's a red one that someone else had ordered and then decided not to buy. I sat on the demo bike and the riding position suited me fine.
It's the Sport version of the S1000R. The dealer says they don't bother getting any of the base models as there's virtually no demand for them when the Sport offers a whole lot more for a little more cost.
