Today (yesterday) Stienie converted from a Honda gal to a Beemer lady.

After being on the waiting list way back in 2006 for a ST and then cancelling her order due to........let's say unfortunate circumstances which led her to buy a Honda instead, it finally happened.
Really sad to see the Veefer goes.....what a great bike but equally fond to welcome the F800ST to the bike family.....the ever extending one Very Happy

six of one and half a dozen of the other?........only time will tell but I'm willing to bet she will not miss the cold grips lol!

Congrats my love, may you have many safe and happy km's cheers



now where on earth have I ended up Question

at least something is familiar here, most my other family members have an Akra end Very Happy (no prizes for guessing our preferred brand in the exhaust market Wink)

Thanks for the good wishes.

Please to report that .............

we are bonding Very Happy , that's now me and the Beemer cheers

400 km and I'm smiling. Comfort level for me a bit better than the Veefer due to the less aggressive riding position. Lots of dinga malories to play with during the ride on the bordcomputer, the fabulously comfy heated grips and that lovely sound from the Akra can.........dan's hy nog vinnig uit die blokke ook jong Very Happy - can not wait for the 5000 rpm limitation to "dissappear"

And the best of all given the current fuel price, is the consumption - granted 5000 rpm = 138km/h and with fairly aggressive acceleration to that point as recommended but still, wait for it........................................

4.3l /100km or more than 23km to the litre.......woohoo, eat your hart out K1200S tongue
