Well since I got the bike last weekend have spent quite a lot of time reading articles here regarding replacement tyres as my 1999 michelins, while black, round and with plenty of tread, are horrid to corner on. I'd welcome anyones advice on this, to check that i am seeing things correctly! Discount...

:) Picked the Paso up from Wales yesterday and had an fairly uneventful 290 miles ride home to Kent, which certainly gave me time to think... I've definitely gone soft in the last few years riding a modern BMW touring bike, what with big protective fairing, ABS servo assisted brakes, radio, heated g...

Thanks for the advice. i had looked in the manual but asked because I wonted to tap into the experience of others who, like me, might not be as slender as they used to be :-) I run my R1200RT with slightly higher pressures as it handles much better that way, especially two up

Any advice on what tyre pressures to run on 750 Paso. Am 16 stone

34 Front. 38 Rear ???

Am picking up the Paso tomorrow afternoon in Wales, then have a nice 285 mile ride home to Kent to get used to her. Must admit to feeling excited and not a little apprehensive, given that I bought the bike sight unseen from eBay. Still...is going to be an adventure...and isn't that what life should ...

I has started already..... :-) I have just bought the blue 750, though have yet to collect it. I emailed my riding chums with some pics just to let them know (as one does).. and guess what? They are taking the mickey already. Anything that makes them rise to the point where they feel the need to emp...

Hi Rhino Was thinking of taking train up on afternoon of 28th and riding bike back. Nice 280 mile run to get acquainted with it (and I have RAC relay just in case!) Must say that having it delivered is not a bad option so would welcome the details. Is there a PM option on the site? if so will send y...

Sorry Jaffa. I tnk I should have asked Mike that question

Hi Jaffa


I've never seen a copy of BMW motorcycle magazine before. Where does it originate from? I ride an r1200rt and have just bought a 750 Paso ( that I have yet to collect!). The mag looks like an interesting read

The blue 705 made £1270 I know, cos i bought it :-) Wish me luck!!!

Hi Rhino I bit the bullet and bought the blue one for £1270 Might have overpaid a bit but from the info I'd gleaned it seemed worth taking the chance. Now all I've got to do is get over from Kent and bring it back! I know it is a risk buying it withut seeing it but what the heck, you only live once!...

very true :-) but if sellers start thier auctions off at £1650 it doesnt give any scope for putting sensible bids in

They aren't far off, judging by what people are asking for them on eBay. £1650

Thanks for the info Rhino and you offer of help. Am still reflecting on the blue bike. And yes..I am EXTREMELY glad i joined this forum :-)

D'oh. Hadn't even thought of it like that. Am so used to paying fully comp insurance on mt R1200RT that I hadn't considered e sense of third party on an older bike
