Very quiet on here lately.

I went for a decent ride on Otto last Sunday with a few friends. We went to a bike store/cafe in Sudbury (UK) called TTT Motorcycle Village.
Lots of used motorcycles available (but no GTRs), riding gear, accessories, and a decent cafe that does a good All Day English breakfast.

Otto behaved admirably considering he is now only 200 miles away from his double-rollover.
He has 200k miles on the frame/odometer and 25k miles since rebuild of Sanji's 150k mile engine (so engine at approx. 175k miles).
When he hits that 200k miles I will be swapping the instrument cluster over for a new-old-stock one that I scored a few years ago for 60UKP.
He will go from 0 miles to 0 miles  ;D

Vivian is shortly going in to a local motorcycle mechanincs for a full top-end service prior to our August trip to Austria.

.For sheer enjoyment of riding I still prefer my ancient C10 even over the C14.
It's nowhere near as quick but is way more involving and satisfying to ride.

hello
I agree 100%      :) ;)

I have no doubt that the BMW bikes being a premium bike will have a premium price to maintain :)  However I am confident I can do about 90% of the service myself. I have put about 1000 mile on mine so far and It is an amazing bike no disrespect to the connie because its a great bike but...... IMO not even in the same ballpark the k 1600 is superior

Accessories and modifications - C14/GTR 1400 / Re: Slip on vs Full system exhaust, pros/cons?

I would get the tune first.  That will give you more noticeable performance and drivability gains as opposed to the slip on or full exhaust.  I have Shoodaben’s mountain runner and love it.  Much smoother throttle on response and “seat of the pants” performance.  After I had the ECU flashed, I swapped out the potato launcher for a Two Brothers Racing Black Series slip on.  Much lighter than OEM and much louder.  So loud, in fact, I added on of their silencers to tame the noise a bit. 

It just depends on what your goals are.  If you want to max everything out, you can go a full system with a racing flash, but that gets spendy.  For me, I was happy with the overall performance with the slip on and flash.  The 2bros is 18” long, and sounded sweet, but I ride with a group of Beemers for long trips.  The drone was driving me nuts on long days, so I mellowed out the noise level.  If you love loud, I know 2bros has a short “racing” slip on that probably screams.   :yikes:

Basically, what Max said, but Max always brings more intelligence with receipts!   :hail: :thumbs:
