    i had a test ride of the S1000r but the quickshifter on that only worked on upshifts,i was like you and thought it was a bit gimmicky for road use, but it's something i could get used to quite easily

    ^^^QS....There is no real benefits on the road but it is fun ;). You will be grinning from ear to ear :D

    Especially when I am joining national speed limits from a slip road or overtakings or coming out of the corner/even half way through the corner......bang bang and watch that tacho rise up and listen to your exhaust note through the shifts. Say no more...:D

    It does look a bit sparse round the back end.
    Some bastards stolen the digits off your number plate as well, get them put back on or else you'll get pulled. lol

    ^^^ Abroad is always a good idea. The best trip I did was to Romania through so many different countries. It was an Epic journey. But I was bruised good n proper on my Gixer :rolleyes:

    Good luck with that come MOT time. My MOT pal failed a bike with one of those fitted, summat to do with the separation, or lack of, between the tail lamps and the indicators. Don't know if the criteria has changed as that was about two years ago.
    Edit, just checked mot regs and it'll fail because the stop lamp emits other than a steady light, sorry:(

    Yep I heard that MOT being failed on integrated brake lights. But as for the steady stop light....I thought most latest sports car comes from factory with a brake light flasher :eek:

    Had one from here on my fireblade
    No issue with MOT (but it's the discretion of he tester? As I agree it doesn't comply fully.... they now come with the option of cancelling the "flashing stop" and "integral indicators" so for Mots you can refit your original winkers and it looks normal..

    Ps great customer service too.... had one fail after two years and they still replaced it FOC .
