Re: Rockster vs. Newer BMW bikes (size)
the height of the saddle and the reach to the bars combined with the centre of mass of the machine tend to be what makes a bike 'feel' different from another. That is probably what I experienced then... a difference in "feel" .... It wasn't so much wheelbase differences that I noticed, bu...

Re: New Owner / Repainted my Rockster

Re: New Owner / Repainted my Rockster
I for one greatly appreciate your efforts to repaint the "RadSter R1150S". New paint looks good. Duplicolor also for the valve covers? Who did the tank dents repair? I'm overdue for a dent fix, although it's sentimental: dent was caused by knee of Triumph rider who hit me years ago. Accor...

New Owner / Repainted my Rockster
Hi everyone! This is my first post and my first BMW motorcycle. I've been lurking and reading these forums for a while now and I've gained quite a bit of knowledge to make an educated purchase decision. After much research, I purchased my Rockster at the end of the summer and started slowly working ...
