img 014511 Recession...what recession?

I finally made up my mind…i just had to do it, the beast and the deal i got were IRRESISTIBLE.

I asked TriStar to deliver it to the office and they did, i was busy so i only rode it down to the parking hopping to take it out today but it looks like am not gona be able to ride it today as well, i was hopping to break in the engine before the weekend….not gona happen.

I can’t believe it…i have a new toy and its been almost 24 hours and i did not get a chance to play with it…am i getting old, don’t have the time, or have priorities !!!

    If you ware pants to work then might as well ride it to work. I heard a proper gradual break-in period for a BMW is 10,000 km before you can push it to max,,,so you better start !! If you do not have the time ,,,, can I have the honor ??

  • Amu

    Mabrook….that ride looks hot and beautiful :) ride safely!

    10,000 thats too much, i totaled my Yamaha after 5000km, i had my Duc for more than 2 years and it only has 8000km….am gona take it easy with the K for the first 1500km.

    And if you can do 10,000 in a week, i’ll be more than happy to give you the honor ;-)

    Mabrouk, looks really powerfull you need a matching helemet now.

    You should have got another Duc though ;-)

    Inshallah alf Mabrouk….the best news ever

    Adrenaline,

    When I said gradual break-in means first 1000km at 40000 rpm ,which is around KM120/hr on a BMW,then the next 2000 km around 5000 rpm,then the next 2000 km around 6000 rpm .At these rpms the bike is already doing up-to 160km/hr so it is not like you will not enjoy high speed but rather don’t race it at low spee/high rpm.This is aplicable to all engines.

    If the offer is still on I am ready to put the mi;;age for you !!!

    Mathai,

    If by KTM u meant a motocross bike then that kind of bikes require that u be in top physical condition… workout everyday and stuff, otherwise u’ll end up selling it the next day…off road biking is not an easy task.
    Last time i rode an off road bike i couldn’t stay at it more than 5 minutes, and the next day i needed a message to loosen my back, wrists, legs, muscles

    ٩٩٩,

    I hope the weather will be fine so you can have fun and report your feedback as I am looking into the new K1300S

  • http://bloggermathai.blogspot.com Mathai

    no not a motocrosser, I too had some knee problems when I went offroad. I meant something like the RC8.. thats a sexy bike :)

  • http://theadrenalinefix.com Adrenaline

    Mathai,
    i am more of a naked bikes guy, am also thinking of traveling on the bike and the RC8 is not the right bike for that.

  • Amu

    Can I guess where the bike is parked ? ;p

  • Busa

    Adrenaline,

    i’ll keep an eye on it whenever am out riding ;-)

    JoJo,

    K1300S is even much more powerful than the R, even though it has the same engine but its tuned differently.
    i heard its going to give the Busa a hard time, we just have to wait and see

  • JoJo

    Busa,

    Thanks for the advice.Busa might fast but eventhogh I love speed & how fast abike goes ,I worry just as much how well the bike stops & the choice is obnious , , BMW

  • http://theadrenalinefix.com Adrenaline

    i agree with JoJo,
    automotive manufacturers used to promote cars by how fast a car can reach 60mph -the Zero to 60mph time-, now its 0-60-0 thats how fast can it go back to Zero.
