We have watched Chris several times.
He puts on a good show.

Well I know you're partial to a ride up a dirt track.

"Teach" McNeil - just another high school Latin teacher with a penchant for big chain rings in back.
Last saw him on one of his dealership parking lot runs in April.
His advice - have fun on a small bike and then move up.....
Right.

My preferred BMW dealer has an offer on the XR at the moment, Mrs Bravo and I are taking a ride over to see them tomorrow.

Susanne loved the XR but I didn't get on with it so will be interested to hear your thoughts.

I think you'll love it

They never had a demo Phil,I was more than a little disappointed. I stood looking at it and it's not as pretty as my Lupin,I know I'm shallow but I go on looks too. They're offering £1500 off the XR at the moment,probably to clear stock ready for the 200bhp version.

I can't see the shiftcam RR motor appearing in an XR until 2021. Especially given their supply performance of late.....

They do have a face only a mother could love and they vibrate like the top shelf of an Ann Summers shop. Maybe that's why Susanne was keen on it?

I have read a couple of new S1000RR reviews that say that engine has the shift cam tech already, so it should also be on the XR engine when the new version of that bike arrives. I think I also saw a video review of the new bike recently that also said the same thing. The reviewer also mentioned that new RR bike has equal size headlights, which he liked more than the previous version that had two different size headlights.
