Any Z4 owning motorbike riders out there?? What's your ride?

Have added a Maud and Mavis shot ! My old next door neighbour and I completely independently and without knowledge of what each other was doing bought the same bike ( bar colour scheme ) within a week of each other. We had both discussed how we liked them for a few years but the timing was a bit spooky.

I moved from a K1300 GT to this bike due to hip surgery, the GT was a bit too heavy causing me problems. The 1200 RS is a surprising bike, although not as powerful as the GT I reckon on most A and B roads in the UK the travel time between points will be about the same. The RS is much more relaxed to ride quickly than the GT. The only downside I can see at the moment is luggage space, it took my partner a long time to understand “ travelling light “ . The RS has a lot less space than the GT so she is going to have to take travelling light to a whole new level - wear one / spare one here we come !!!!! 2 weeks on the continent ( when we can ) is going to be challenging.
Well, it's not a motorbike, it's Vespa, I am a Vespa rider for decades now, starting with old 1983 PX200, and just changed them like socks. Now I have a 2003. Vespa GranTourismo 200ccm, and love it! It is my daily commuter during spring, summer and autumn, and also for road trips with my girlfriends.
I really respect your serious bikes, impressive!

Hi Fastchap. I’ve had the MV 16 years. It only has 12000 miles on it, so it has been a fair weather toy. It has been really good, ( fingers crossed,...) . I’ve not really cherished it as much as I should. It’s been sort of serviced regularly. That is using my gut feeling... I’ve not had it serviced yearly, just when I felt it needed new oil. Having said that , it is now at an independent mechanic having a major refresh as I have not ridden it all over the last 3 years due to some major house renovations. Oh and a Speed Triple came into the garage as well.... The biggest problem with MV ownership is finding a dealer for spares etc. I used to use Forza Italia at Silverstone and they were fantastic but they’ve been closed for 5 years . Hence I’ve had to go down the independent route now. But I am going to keep it. It is an amazing piece of kit and just lovely to have satin the garage for a fine Sunday blast.
No.. but ill take itDPG said:
