Hi I've recently joined up as considering a crossplain as my next bike so having a look to see what the best mods are .
I currently have an s1000rr for the road which has seen a couple of trackdays and an sv650 which is iust coming to the end of a supertwin build so will be my dedicated track bike.
Oh and not forgetting the Honda zoomer which I've had for 18 months and never ridden lol.

Welcome in Paul got any pics of the bikes?(or the Missus,yours,not mine )

Hi mate welcome

Welcome to the site Paul, you will not be disappointed with a Big Bang R1

Welcome Paul, few on here have been S1000r owners, why the change

Welcome in mate. Test and try before you buy you either get the crossplane or you don't.

Thanks for the welcome, I've had the s1000rr for 3 years in april so will look to change then.
The BMW had a few niggles early on re gearbox, rotting sump and faulty switch gear but having got over that its been a great bike just time for a change.

Always wanted a 'Zoomer'

That bm sounds like me at the moment , dodgy box , rotton sump and a faulty switch just about sums it up

Welcome PGM,
That all sounds very familiar and I got shot of my S1000RR a few months ago for those same reasons and bought an R1 X-Plane.
Have you had a test ride of the R1? if not i think you'll be surprised with how good it feels to ride. Don't get me wrong the S1K was ballistic in a straight line but other than that it was nothing special.

Have a read of my thread when you get a chance

Well I haven't ridden an s1000 but in all honesty when I bought the R1 I did wonder what I had done at slow speed it was a pig especially around islands slipping the clutch was the order of the day.That all changed when I had it flash tuned,don't ask me why that question can be answered by r1 Mike better than me also put a de cat pipe on it.All the tea in china wouldn't get me to swap it now,a legendary bike that requires a few mods to get the best out of it.Shove all the rider aids where the sun don't shine they make you lazy rather ride a bike with real character.
