What you need is a few mils of Castrol 'R' in your fuel tank to give it a good smell.  🙄

Just to add fuel to the fire, when I got my last set of tyres, Continental Road Attacks, there are two tyres in the same size, one for normal bikes and one for BMW.The tyre Rep was at Cycletreads at the time and even he didnt know what the difference was and wasnt too impressed when I suggested "was that so you can charge more for them" 👿

Nice one, got a few extra's on it as well, is that a bigger screen than normal ?

I have Conti Road Attacks on my 1200GS and I think they are great as I do mainly road riding.I would sugest that if you intend to do any gravel that you think about dual sport tyres like Tourance,s which I had on my 1150GS and I do believe that the Conti Trail attacks are very good too.Personal preference really as it's what you feel comfortable with.But the main thing is enjoy the bike.Have you got any pics yet ?
