Is anyone aware of any replacement pegs for the Rockster. I am reasonably happy with the position of the pegs, so I don't want to lower them, but I would like an alternative to just replacing the...

For me, it is more like the engine is happier, or maybe it is the fuel pump. It's like there is not enough weight/pressure and feeding the injectors doesn't make the bike happy. I wouldn't say...

Does anyone find that their R1150, in my case Rockster, is happier with more fuel in the tank? Performance seems to become more abrupt/occasionally jerky as the fuel level drops. I will be mentioning...

I picked one up about a 1.5 months ago, and it works well enough; for the price I think I was expecting a happy ending (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). It fits the bike well enough though, so I can't...

I am referring, of course, to their aftermarket exhaust(s). There may be other items, but I have not been to their website lately.

FWIW, if I could afford the BMW pants, I would wear them. Until...

Z-Technik is National's BMW specific brand. They have a number of aftermarket parts, a lot of which will not void your BMW warranty. Some parts are not available in the U.S. though.

Is a Z-Technik, I believe that it is the same as BMW's touring screen (at half the price). I bought it with the bike, and had the shop install it; it is a "permanent" mount, to aggravating to try and...

7 weeks, 3400kms, man I love this thing.

Helping me model the bike are a couple of future riding buddies.

right? is this why i've seen mention of using the gs torque arm?

How do I adjust this? I have tried adjusting the preload, didn't notice any difference. I would like to increase it if possible.

Thanks

This should give you some good ideas. I'm not affiliated with that site, but was recently turned on to it by a fellow rider.

Yay me!!!

I'm going with the Rockster Edition 80.

At just under 5'10" I find both bikes to be comfortable, at least for now. Whichever bike I end up with will be my only form of motorized transport, in a city where I can ride pretty much year-round....

I guess I wasn't clear enough, the 80th is $500 less than the '05 1150R; so about $2500 less than original price. I have arranged financing through my bank, BMW Canada is not offering the rate you...

Thanks Cliffy. I really dig both bikes aesthetically. I have always been partial to standards; having said that one local dealer has a Ducati MH900e, in stock, that makes me weak in the knees.

I...

Thanks Visian, I hope my reply didn't come across as anythiing other than elaboration.

Blue Knight, which model did Cliffy buy?

Anyone care to relate experience(s) with BMW's ABS? Apart from...

I am 30-something, and I want a bike to ride, not put on display. Having said that, the Rockster in question has a full seat incl. passenger accommodations.

I can't see any real problem with...

Hi All,

I am about to buy my first BMW, and have an envious quandary:

Do I buy the basic R1150R, or do I get the Rockster 80th? The latter is a demo unit, the former is new. The R1150R is at a...
