Och, you could be right

Well I hope so or it can go back too !  Didn`t like the black on the SM blue, but I do on the PBM.

So new bike and new colour on order. Can`t wait.

Well, guys I must be really unlucky.  560 miles into new ride and ESA went.  Dealer couldn't sort out the error code so I left bike in shop. I hear what you all say but 560 miles  REALLY ?

Hello,
I was wondering how many have had an ESA fail on new (2015/2016) bikes, at any mileage?  Mine failed at 560 miles just before first service.

Thanks.

Would have been a car. Don't need another car, want to ride bike. Sob.

So a brand new bike now with dealer and me taking a 3 hour train ride home.

Hasn't been on for the last 560 miles though. Manual says it's a fault. Hopefully dealer will sort it out tomorrow.

Showing on ignition on.

So picked up new bike on Friday. 560 miles on clock. Service tomorrow. Faults already present...Sticky menu button and ESA fault warning. No a happy chappie. BUT...bike is amazing to ride.

I`m spoilt with the Pan.  But will get used to it I`m sure.  Only 18 more sleeps !

Hi guys. Can anyone confirm whether there is just one compartment or two.  I have seen pictures with both!
Thanks.

What do guys think of the black finish on the 2016 RT chassis and drive train ?  Don`t care for it myself. 

Thanks guys, bad experience with the K 1600 left me wary. Order confirmed today. Cheers for all comments.

Hello, I am (was?) intending to purchase a 2016 RT. Reading the forum there appears to be a number of issues around how reliable they are in general. I am planning a trip through Spain and Europe in 2017. Does anyone think that I am being a little paranoid ? and that the pros would outweigh cons and...
