Quote:gotta admit having having had a go on a mates 1250 beemer, the engine is just about perfect for a bike. Youd never believe it was a flat twin, especially if you had one back in the eighties(I had an ex police r100rt...truly truly godawful bike)
What was it? R RS RT Tell us more Ogri. I just thought it has bags of power everywhere. It picks up from nothing, sits up and tears towards the horizon. But it also just rumbles away beneath you and is so refined and civilised. Think I’m gonna get one. And the riding position on the R just seemed perfect. And it seemed fine cruising at 80, 85 despite being naked.
Talking of heated grips. When I was sniffing about the MT10 I was gobsmacked to discover the official 150 quid heated grips wire directly to the battery. Piss poor for a branded extra.
