It just happened. I got me an old suzuki GSX-R 1100 90 in yoshimura Black and red. Not perfect, but in pretty good original condition. Roars, Shakes and smells like gun powder. :2guns: It's Jabberwocky...
The plan is to have it like a long term renovation project as there isn't much to do on the Beemer during cold dark winter days.
As for the RS, we had a nice tour to Tuscany and lake Garda this summer. I rode to Italy where the wife met up in Milan. Got some rain but the sun showed up sometimes as well. As a touring bike it holds its own. Comfy seat, cruise control, low frequency rumble and a MRA vario screen that worked realy good. 1000 km/day was no problem. BUT,,, I realy missed the extra power that the GTR could show up on autobahn. Much lower pace with Brunhilde than the mighty GTR. (maybe thats a good thing after all...)
The BMW OEM top box is way to expensive and small so i wanted a GIVI V47 instead. As the GIVI adapterplate is pretty ugly and places the box way to much forward I designed my own plate and had a small prototype serie manufactured. Got good feedback from the RS forum so now I have produced a batch of 24 plates that I have for sale. Will post separately about those as I intend to make one for the GTR1400 as well.
Started a company to deal with the motorcycle parts: Ulfberht components.
No major update on the GTR for 17 so Ill stick with the Beemer another year.
Maybe we will finaly take a trip over to your beautiful island this coming summer.

So true. When 3rd world war hits the earth the only thing left will be cockroaches and GSX-R engines. Got to have a backup for the German lady. A friend got a 2 year old BMW S1000R, and he changed the starter button (complete right electrical cluster ) 3 times. Now he's finaly learned that he got to put on plastic bags over the handles when cleaning the bike..... I do that as well on my beemer as a precaution.
