Was riding my sweet B1100 today...
« on: October 15, 2016, 06:50:41 PM »
And what a fine ass motorcycle it is!   I love this bike, it does everything better than I can do!

I'm a decent rider, maybe 7 on a 10 scale, (yea right, really I'm a 6, but who's counting) but the cool thing about the Big Breva is it is always a 7 plus, I can never get close to its limits, works great for me!

 I was out on my B11  in rain  shine and strong cross winds up in the Yorkshire Wolds last week and had much the same thoughts

I just fitted some PR4's to my B11 and it transformed the bikes handling.

I've run thru 2-3 sets of PR3 and loved the way they made my 1200 Sport handle and ride.  I'm now on my first pair of PR4, and feel that they provide the same quality ride and handling as the 3's.  I'm not talking boy racer, because I'm not!  Just plain  day to day riding.

I have to agree. I put 23k on mine in the last 20 months. It gets better each and every ride. My only complaint is the seat after about 2 hours of non stop riding. Pirelli angel gt tire of choice. 12k on last set
