I just got my new bike: BMW S1000XR
and I took a 50km’s ride and it made me SMILE! Nothing but SMILE!
It’s beautiful, it rides so smoothly but if you want to… You can really make it attack like Dragon…
Yes I named this one “Dragon”
-
Took a quite long ride in only gravel (180km’s). I’m starting to really like it!
In Inkoo:
In Raasepori:
In Mustio:
In Lohja:
And another in Lohja:

Now you have a possibility to buy almost as good as new Honda Crosstourer!
Nyt voit ostaa itsellesi loistavan pyörän: Honda VFR1200X Crosstourer! This is very nice in paved and in gravel roads! Tämä on loistava asfaltti- ja hiekkateillä!

Summer is here! Thumb Up everyone!
And my Europe Tour is starting in 29 days! -
BMW motorcycles finnish import-company got their first bike last week! There’s even a picture about the bike itself.
And also a short text with this picture: “It seems that shape of the bike is a little bit more boxy than we thought!” -
It was a kind of carnival in Vantaa today! Motorcycle store Allright had their “Hemmopäivät” again and there were some tents with nice special prices, lots of good stuff for-sale with very low prices… and ofcourse parking area full of bikes to take a test ride. Kawasaki, Triumph and BMW (With 1 Aprilia) and I chose mainly BMW bikes to have a quick test.
BMW K1600GT is heavy. It’s still very easy to ride if you just get it on the roll… And becouse it’s heavy it doesn’t feel too powerful either. This was the biggest disappointment!
Triumph Tiger 800XcX is very light, nice and easy to ride, nice torque and powerline in the engine. I would rather choose this than 800GS!
BMW S1000RR is smooth, easy and so damn light! Until the RPM meter reaches 8000… after that it’s all about crazyness and speed!! If I would be 15 years younger I would have this for sure!! And I would probably already be dead…
BMW R1200RS was the best ride of today. Extremely good riding position, powerful engine, so much electronics to make the ride easier and so many ways to use the bike! This would be the best bike for me from these 4… -
Honda CRF1000L “Africa Twin” is going to be the name of this new model. Rumours tell it’s gonna weight less than 200kg’s -and that is amazing!!
Some photos already seen in the internet!

I wrote about this site before. But now it’s published also in english! I think it’s the best possible site to find new places and roads!! And it’s about us bikers to make it even better. Check it out now!!
(Even if you’re from anywhere else than Finland)
https://motocaching.net/
It says in the frontpage: “Using the free Motocaching service, motorists can share awesome destinations, spots, suggest the coolest curvy roads, and journey to the coziest of places to take a break!”
At the moment I’m the number 1 cachemaker… But I really would like to see someone else make lots of caches! -
MotorCycleNews took the testride in Spain. They liked it…. Ahh “like” is not really a word to describe all that they’ve experienced!
“From the beginning of our test route near Barcelona there was immediately no doubt that the XR is both a proper, adventure-style machine *– it’s a tall, substantial bike with bars that brace your arms wide behind a meaty fairing complete with hand-adjustable, two-position screen – but it’s also one with the heart of a snarling beast.”
“Plenty of sportsbikes are set to be shamed by the XR, I guarantee.”
“On this experience, the XR isn’t just a bike for all reasons, I’m struggling to think of any reason why you wouldn’t want one. Prices, TBC, are set to start around £13K for the bog basic that no-one will want, the around 15 for the fully-loaded variants.”This Bike should arrive (TO ME!) after 34 days of waiting!
