Yay! It'll be hard to compete with the HFS thread on here but this is by far my longest and likely best contribution to the site - just finished 100 pages! Whatever that means

Excellent! With an Akrapovic can too! Is that OEM now? The only downside I had with my S1000RR is that it made my car feel slow. I still frequently miss it though.

Yeah, Akra is standard on the 2017 R and RR. Have put catless headers on my two previous but don't think this one needs it. Absolutely loving it. It's a missile - basically a personal teleportation device - yet totally well mannered and smooth at all times. Still running in so haven't taken it past 7,000 rpm but even there it's blinding. Don't want to reopen a worn-out topic but it feels like such a strong data point in favour of NA engines - revs to 12,000 and throttle response absolutely instant. A turbo on a bike would feel very weird indeed I think and for me the best cars are the ones that feel most bike-like.

I have an S1000RR so I know what you mean. It's a magical machine. Between the bike and my new T4GTS I feel like I'm in Disney World every day.

The RR is even more magical. At low revs it is so deceptively polite that one would never know the warp drive was there...

I don't have that umbrella holder cubby in my car. Is this a Euro-feature?
Do US cars come with that?
Or is this a difference between 991.1 vs. 991.2?

35k miles - the PPI inspector called it a "time capsule". It's mint!

I think they stopped the umbrella holder with the 2015 models.
