I took my RS on a 1000km round trip over rhe weekend to the Ardenne. My friend Martin joined on my other standard K. Both bikes ran beautifully with no problems or oil burn however I did notice that between 85 and 100 mph there is vibration or a heavier buzz to the whole bike. Is this normal on the 8v. The front fork seems to also start a bit of a chatter at same speeds. Maybe the forks need new bushes. I have 10w in at the moment but maybe could do with 5 instead.
I have to admit that the RS fairing is a nice place to be behind on the motorways. Averaged appox’ 50 mpg on both bikes.
Weather was dry and 20-28 deg C and the Pirelli sport demons I put on are superb. Absolutely sure and very confidence inspiring tyres. Ran with 38F and 42R.
