Re: NE mini jolly
If only......but this is what happens when you have bean counters dictating policy to maximise profit. Call it selfish corporate greed or whatever, but BMW certainly are not alone in this respect! Yes, I'm just another returning BMW bike customer. Why? Because the machine, despite the niggling switchgear issues etc, is a fantastic bike in the way it handles and performs, and easily outshines the equivalent rival models such as the Triumph Trophy, Yam FJR, Honda Pan Euro etc. If and when China or S Korea can make something as good as an RT for less money, then I might be swayed. Until then I'll stick with the Beemer!

Agreed, the concepts and designs are second to none (except the FJR). It's just the rest of it that can fall short.

Funnily enough this FJR has just arrived with us to evaluate as we need to replace some RT's in our Blood Bike fleet and the FJR is currently the only bike approved for Blood Bike use.k9doc wrote: ^

Leicestershire Police have used these for a number of years, when i did a Bike Safe course a few years ago they had just got them. The Officers where very impressed with them.Benchmark wrote: Funnily enough this FJR has just arrived with us to evaluate as we need to replace some RT's in our Blood Bike fleet and the FJR is currently the only bike approved for Blood Bike use.

It doesn't meet home office approval for s.19 excess speed whilst carrying the loads we might need to once s.19 is ratified for those that need to and are qualified to run under s.19 https://www.gov.uk/government/consultat ... exemptionsMaz12 wrote: Isn't the pan approved for blood bikes?
