Congratulation on the Rockster. Yes, she was made to be ridden hard.

Thank you for the welcome!!!!!!!! I will tray to understand how to put the pic of my new Rock in here.
Have a safe ride
vroooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmm...................

I bought a a new Edition 80 Rockster and was wondering about the break in period does anyone have any suggestion?[/b]

I followed the manual, but didn't get 600 mile service til 900 miles.

same here, 900 miles. they just piled up quick!

anyway, keep it under 4k until 600 mile service then let it rip. also stay away from long periods at the same speed(highways?)

also have fun!

oh dear, I warm up and ride normally.... And riding home I had 160kph out of him but not the whole way....


My Baby

Ah login failures, you have to love 'em.
160kph on the way home = on the way home from the showroom...

what's that - about 70mph??? yeah - she'll do that at running in engine speeds.


Hello mate.

Those colors are hot!!! Minimum ferro parts. Scanning the international BMW pages, looks like only a few countries get this color.

I love that color. Makes me wish the "Green Hornet" was the "Blue Hornet".

I like my in-your-face green!

in your face???? BWAHAHAAHAHAH BMW's green colour on the Rockster is about as in-your-face as a tickle with a wet feather!!

If it was BRIGHT RADIOACTIVE GREEN,. something like Kawasaki then it would "in-your-face".

Hehe... don't forget that we're talking about the stodgy BMW circle. The Kawi green will make ol' Beemerphiles faint!

Sorry to burst the bubble, this silver color is the last series Rockster produced by BMW.
The curtain has ( unfortunately ) dropped for the Rockster in 2005, the orange and green bikes that are still waiting for new owners are all produced before 2005.
BMW Germany showed this colour scheme on theirs site from March this year.

I must say that the silver/black is the most appealing color for the Rockster.

If the Rockster HAD been in proper Kawasaki Green (or similar) - i'd have bought it and not even looked at the Tigerstripe.

Downtown Zurich, late October. Shame I had to come back to work

Those are deffo the nicest colours for that bike....

The black/silver look ain't bad, but I still prefer my orange tiger stripe.
