The Bike which I Part Ex'd is up for £8,450, the Gross P/Ex Value is £6,850, that's £1,600 mark up. I wonder how much it will be in the sale, gives you an example & some idea of where to start from with any negotiations on price, particularly if you don't have a Part Ex yourself. This bike has ...

I replaced my Contis at 6300 miles but could have stretched them to 7000 miles. Will be interested in how long the Z8's last on your LC. The Z8 is the only tyre now listed by BMW for both the Twin Cam & LC RT's, although the version code on the Front is now (M) for the LC, previously Standard. ...

Once tried EBC Pads, they were no good & I threw them away. On this occasion, I have to agree, only use Genuine BMW stuff. Fairly straight forward to replace, taking the calipers off makes it easier to push the pistons back without damaging the discs. On my 2007 RT, had the Front discs replaced ...
