Coming to the end of Rockster life.......

Post by Lob »

After 9 years of ownership from new, I've taken the difficult decision to kiss goodbye to my Rockster.

I'm also kissing goodbye to shaft drive and hello to chain again :shock:

But I am not leaving BMW.....I just ordered an S1000R with DTC and DDC. I nearly pissed my pants on the test ride, it's so darn good.

I will report back to tell if I get beyond 2nd gear. It's a proper hooligan machine :D

SOLD!

If i had the money - I might....!

I do like the colour scheme on your Rockster. Are you trading it in with all the extras - or selling them seperately?

Good luck with the new bike!

If I trade, I may well strip it back.

What are you after? I am in south London early July with the car.....

Unless you're prepared to offer up all the coloured parts, I'm good, thanks! ;)

If you are a BMW fan and you watched any of the Isle of Man TT this year...Id think something was wrong with you if you DIDN'T consider buying a 1000! at least briefly.

OH MAN! =D>

My nearest dealer has an HP4 coming in soon...I think Ill try to avoid their shop to be safe. beacuse I want one so bad right now!

Well it should be all settled this week.....

1. Rockster appears to have a new owner from Thursday
2. S1000R will then be collected on Friday......I may be chomping at the bit a little if it arrives, say, today.......

:D
