The Akrapovic silencer sounds great if your wallet fills up again.

If your registration ends in UP then you've bought my RT!! Look after her we had some great tours together.

Kimbles,
Doubtless you’ve probably read and/or heard about the BMW Insured Warranty. Although at nigh on £400 for a full year’s subscription (this includes full roadside recovery in UK & Europe),it does give peace of mind as and when the 2 yr OEM warranty runs out on your newly acquired 2016 baby!
It is worth serious consideration as replacement parts can indeed bring a tear to the eye (as you rightly mentioned wrt the big BMW top box). Anyway, good luck with your planned Euro tour next month. Also, if you’re riding through France, Spain or Portugal and spend a bit of time on their Autoroutes, the Sanef telepeage transponder gizmo is also a good investment. It saves all that faff and malarkey when riding through toll booths, with no cash or cards to worry about!

.... She is a mint bike and will be very pampered
