BarnRat Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) First ride impressions . . . Rode about 50 miles. Nice exhaust note -- louder than my other bikes but not Harley-straight-pipes loud and obnoxious. Happy to see BMW adopt the "Japanese" style turn signal button. With a curb weight of 480 lbs, it is a very nice "little" bike. I haven't had a bike like this in ages. Very pleased with my purchase. I saw a high engine temp of 245 degrees F while riding but mostly it was around 230. Not as stable as my other BMWs on the freeway at 70 mph. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't unstable. Lack of fairing/aerodynamics probably. Edited August 1, 2018 by BarnRat Link to comment
TEWKS Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 A giant picture for you. Looks like an incredibly fun bike to rip up the back roads on! Pat Link to comment
BarnRat Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Thanks for the pic! It's nice having a bike under 500 lbs for a change. Link to comment
