Hi John Thank you for the response. I did as you advised take to the local stealer. He stuck us diagnostic box on it and found that the problem was a faulty connector on the ABS unit. I was hoping that it wasn't the ABS unit itself as my 'friendly' dealer in Stroud was quoting 1495 pounds sterling. ...

Thanks Buckster and AndyRR. I've had the battery condition/charger on for two days. No change. Will check the ABS unit tomorrow as you know the tank must come off. Bit of a pain but we'll see. Will let you know. Weather is improving so need to ride.

Hello folks, long time no speak. Been busy with guests at our B&B in central France. Any way enough of that. Today I jumped on the R1150R and set off briskly only to find at the end of the driveway the brake failure light on the dash was still flashing. Normally it goes out after a few yards as ...

Thanks for your input Guys. I'll take a look to see if the posts are accessible. If not I'll wire in the charging socket that came with my Optimate II. I know, I should have done it in the summer ready for winter. But hey you're right Biff, the battery is shot. It's been on charge all night and is s...

Hi Everyone. I've been absent for a while, building a kitchen, looking after elderly mother, and making sure my wife is happy, you know the sort of thing. But today the sun shone and I thought Yes at last I have a couple of hours free, lets get out on the bike. The temperature was just nudging zero ...

Hi Daveywavey, I bought an 03 1150R in the summer. I found the seat a bit tall for me, 5' 5" when I rocked up to collect the bike. Luckily the vendor had another seat in the garage which was about an inch lower. It looked identical but seems to have less foam so is a bit lower. I don't know abo...

This 03 r1150r was equipped with two touring panniers. The right hand side one is now unlockable as the red tab has broken off. This was the only thing wrong with the bike when I collected it last wednesday. I have ordered a new assembly but cannot see how to get the old assembly off in order to com...

I think it will be the first of many. I've just taken delivery. Correction, I've just collected my '03 R1150R from England, Wednesday pm and arrived back here in Central France this afternoon, Friday, via the Tunnel last night. I'd never ridden one before and didn't like it for the first 3 miles. Th...

Thanks Bill and Rockosmith. I'm seriously considering a couple of R1150R's at the moment. The prices are falling a bit here in Europe so I will probably wait a few weeks, Maybe 'till after Christmas as my hands are full with a restoration of an ancient Brit Bike. A 500 Speed Twin which I'm gradually...

I knew that would happen and I think I really knew the answer before I sent this post. It's really the R12R that I should go for. The budget that won't quite go the distance prompted the question. Whichever model I choose, the seat will have to go and Givi boxes will be the luggage of choice. Thanks...

Hi everyone. I'm planning to get my first beemer moto. My goal is the R12R but the budget is tight and they are scarce at the moment, especially in France. I have not seen any user comparisons between the the R1150R and the R1200R. Was it really a quantum leap forward when the R12R appeared or would...

Dear Rob
That is amazing.
Can I have one?
Keep us posted.
