Yesterday I rode my R100S to Fredericksburg VA for Morton's BMW annual Oktoberfest. As usual it was a great event with door prizes, food and great bargain bin items. Reg Pridmore was there to talk and promote his riding school at Virginia International Raceway.
I got a chance to take a demo ride on an S1000XR. It is a bit tall, even for me with a 32" inseam but the power and comfort of this bike was great. The best part was the shift-assist, something I had never experienced before. It was seamless as long as I let the machine do what it's designed to do and not change the throttle setting or attempt to outguess the shift.
A nice ride but I want to demo the new RS.
