"I have an issue with my 2021 Bmw s 1000 xr… I bought it in April and i am experiencing a gear shifting issue… BM’s gearbox’s don’t seem very strong from what I’ve seen, I bought an S1000rr with 18k on and it had already been rebuilt It is disappointing… Mine had 5,000-something miles on it, and I added another 1,000 or so miles to it. The gears started shifting very noisily and clunkily. Sometimes, I can't shift into a lower gear from 6th gear to (1st or 2nd)." Should still be under warranty. I have a gen 2 and box is spot on, sometimes finding neutral can be hard but that’s it. | |||

"I've always pretty much been a scooterist but a couple of years ago thought I'd change over to bikes so I got a Honda Transalp, absolutely hated it so after around 2 months of trying to like it I had to get rid of it and get back onto a vespa.. It's probably a half decent machine but when you're use to riding and enjoying something completely different it's hard to like it." The only bike I sold that I regretted selling and I've have quite a few. It was a '94 600 without the cat. Loved it. I only sold it to buy it's famous bigger brother which I still have and won't part with that, but the transalp was pure fun. | |||

"Not my bike, but a mate gave me his ZXR600 streetfighter to ride, while he was spraying my bike. The thing was a death trap, the petrol filler cap never fitted, it leaked fuel when accelerating or braking hard, the fan worked on a seperate switch, and the generator / alternator cover was half missing. Would rather walked or got buses lol " | |||

"It is a toss up between a VFR400 NC24, it was a jinxed bike. I only found out that week I got rid of it, that the rear wheel had cracks pretty much on each spoke. The other was an RD250DX frankenstein bike. It had the rear swingarm and wheel from a GT550, tge seat was stuck on with only part of a hinge in place. The bolt that kept the forks on the bike, kept vibrating lose, likewise the cyclinder head bolts. The bike handled like a bag of crap. But I always grinned when riding it, as it always surprised me." How did you fit a swingarm from a shaft drive gt550 onto a chain drive rd??? | |||

"All my bikes have been great at the time. Now “progress ing backwards, got a ‘79 Sportster and it’s smiles per miles best I’ve had. " I had one back in the day and brilliant bikes, easy to work on, not much in the way of electrics and a nice simple carburettor. But by the time I let it go I think I'd loctited or replaced with ny-lock every bolt on the bike. | |||

"Fazer 1000 2nd Gen. Not really very good at anything. Too uncomfortable to tour on, too sit up and beg to be a sports bike, too much of a handful to commute on. Didn’t keep it long, but actually made a couple of quid on it. " That's surprising, I heard they're pretty nippy when you want them to be though | |||
