| "I've
been to Germany and the ring last week and whilst playing I had the pegs
touch down, what impresses me the most is how far the thing leans over
now, running off the edge of the tyre and how quick it turns direction
it just gives confidence. I had a play with a few plastic rockets [Race
Replica Bikes] and the look on their faces was priceless - I wonder if
they tell their mates they got had by a GS!" |
| "Having both feet flat on the floor with the seat on high settings shows the first difference: swapping from a 19in-diameter front wheel to this 17in rim has dropped the front end by, welll, about an inch. This radical geometry change, along with the wheel's own reduced inertia, makes the steering miles faster than standard. It now reacts with an irrepressible enthusiasm to even the mildest inputs. Some of the easy, gentle, neutral original behaviour has been lost in favour of this far more frantic, involving response, but that's sorta what I was after. There's no doubt it's sportier." |

Please note the intensity of the colours varies significantly with lighting conditions and the colour only becomes apparent in brighter light.
*Please Note: Rear wheel bolts. The BST rear wheel requires the shorter BMW 40mm bolts (BMW part no. 36317673903 - 5 required - as used with the BMW One-Piece Alloy Wheels). If your bike has the OE BMW Wire Spoked Wheels with 53mm bolts, they will need to be replaced.
