Should I start leaving notes on windshields on yellow coloured paper? 😂

Anyone ever see cars getting tickets for this? It seems to be an epidemic and I’ve got a real bee in my bonnet lol. “Vehicles displaying accessible permits are not exempt from the following site specific prohibitions, where parking regulation signs have been installed: No parking in locations...

I have one of those Transitions visors by Shoei. It’s great for the convenience, with 2 caveats: 1. The tint during sunny days isn’t as dark as a stand alone dark tinted visor. 2. As it reacts to UV, it will darken on cloudy days (when I would prefer a fully clear visor). YMMV!

And the KTM appears to be about 25lbs lighter!!! It’s a no brainer imho.

Heavier than the KTM….personally I like the looks of the KTM more (and this is coming from a former Hypermotard owner!)

So BMW confirmed that hard panniers are not an option for this bike. However, there are optional soft bags at 8 litres each 😂

Don't get me wrong, the V4 is incredible. It's just so smooth you don't realize how fast you're going, whereas you were quite aware on the twin!

I’ve owned a 2011, 2016 and now a 2022 V4. The twin has more character than the V4 imho. Bit chuggy at low revs, but smooth as you start moving. Both of my twins had the Termi systems and ecu/map installed, which seemed to make them even more lively. Honestly, I can’t say enough about them...

Honestly….I would be all over this if it weren’t for the apparent lack of pannier mounts. It’s a bargain when compared to the PP Multi, and the RS even moreso. I would miss the blind spot detection and adaptive cruise the Multi has, but I’m sure I’d get over that pretty quickly 😁

On problem for me….looks like no pannier mounts?!?

Glad you’re ok! If you need something new….. https://www.bmw-motorrad.ca/en/models/M/m1000xr.html

Well, that Gamma sold….no idea what it went for, but presumably close to asking. Probably went to a U.S. buyer (they’re stealing all of our RGs! 😂). Favourable exchange rate may have made the price more appealing.

For those with lots of $$$$. Have the prices on these gone THAT berserk? I’m not even sure that it would fetch this much on Iconic auctions….

Headed up that way this weekend and haven’t been since last year. It had a massive section of loose gravel last year. Wondering if it’s now fully paved?
