Accessoire - réduction des vibrations
Un propriétaire de XR vient de me dire que ces extensions de guidon permettent une bonne réduction des vibrations (90% selon lui).
Rhinomoto
65$ plus le transport et la douane

Accessoire - bulle Givi
Givi vend maintenant une bulle plus haute et plus large
D5119ST
Bulle spécifique incolore, 50 x 43,5 cm (h x l)
se monte sur les points de fixation du pare-brise d’origine / 13 cm plus haute que celle d'origine
Chose étrange, elle est livrable chez RAD au prix de 35€ Pourquoi un prix si bas?
Pas d'image pour l'instant.

Pourquoi j'ai vendu ma XR?
Après quelques semaines avec la XR, je savais que je n'allais pas la garder longtemps. Pourquoi?
- la XR est plus une sportive qu'un trail - pas ma philosophie
- les vibrations à la longue sont fatigantes.
- la chaleur du moteur côté gauche n'est pas agréable
- la position de conduite est trop penchée pour moi. Les réhausses nécessaires ne passent pas bien avec les câbles
- la protection est perfectible avec la bulle - facile à remédier quand les accessoiristes auront fait quelque chose de bien
- la ou les selles ne sont pas confortable. Même après avoir refait ma selle XP, je ne suis pas bien
- l'amortissement est trop ferme
- le moteur tourne trop vite pour les vitesses légales
- le caractère du moteur incite trop à pousser et le risque de perdre son permis et proportionnel au plaisir que la moto procure à hauts régimes
Donc pas assez trail avec sa position, son confort et sa faculté de partir loin.
De plus, le tout-chemins me manque. Je vais repartir vers un trail. BMW est trop cher bien que la GS LC est la meilleure moto que j'ai eu (version 2013). Le prix et les problèmes de fiabilité m'ont fait passer chez Honda qui vient de sortir une machine intéressante avec sa roue de 21" qui la met plus vers le terrain que la BMW.
L'Africa Twin est commandée et devrait arriver vers novembre. La saison 2016 sera plus sympathique que 2015 sans aucun doute.

Essai - Eat Sleep Ride
https://eatsleepride.com/c/109944/s1000xr_bmws_new_naked_2015_adventure_sport_or_race_bike
Un avis juste sur la selle que je partage ainsi que sur la selle HP
Unfortunately, the seat is as hard as a plank. An optional seat is offered, but it too is thin as a bread crust. Seriously BMW, we have to pay extra for a seat that is good for 100 kilometres in something that has at least some pretence to comfort and it’s still the size of a postage stamp?
Quelques commentaires sur les suspensions dures et les vibrations
But they might be best deemed “rock” and the “hard place” so firm is the compression damping. The S1000’s big four also vibrates. It’s not objectionable as long as you keep the revs below 5,000 rpm — around 120 kilometres an hour — but above that the handlebar gets decidedly tingly. Do not be fooled by sit-up-and-beg riding position nor the accessory saddlebags on offer; anyone looking for GS or even Aprilia Caponord comfort is going to be disappointed.
et le vrai visage de la XR
But, if it can’t tour and can’t “adventure,” what good is the S1000XR? Well, what the S1000XR really is a naked bike — like BMW’s own S1000RR, itself just an offshoot of the world-beating S1000RR superbike — with better fairing protection and an even more expansive seating position. BMW is even trying to create yet another segmentation of the motorcycle market calling the XR an “Adventure Sport” bike.
That makes it damned near perfect for all those superbike riders whose favourite twisty road is an hour of more from their city centres. A S1000RR, for instance, may be sublime on a twisty road but the two-hour drone getting there might cripple you.
Throttle response is immediate and exact and, very importantly when you have this much power under wrist, the ASC traction control is sophisticated so all that power doesn’t get you in trouble.

Accessoire - bulle MRA
Vu sur le web. Un propriétaire de XR a mis sur sa machine une bulle MRA avec spoiler.
Il semble que le fameux triangle qui laisse passer l'air et provoque les turbulences soit pris en compte par cette bulle. Enfin partiellement quand elle est en postion haute

Essai - Bennetts

comparatif avec la MTS
Sportbike: XR (girlfriend)
Day to day: MTS (wife)
Intéressante comparaison mais assez juste
Ils ont été marqués par les vibrations.
It’s not subtle, imagine someone has put a vibrating toothbrush in your gloves and in your boots and you’ll know the feeling. It stays vibrating until 7000rpm, gets less after that and then disappears by 9000rpm, right in the meat of the mighty S1000R-based motor. At the top-end the bike is incredibly fast and it howls with exhaust noise and induction roar, but every time you slow down there’s that vibration again.
It’s right where you want to cruise that it hits as well. 75mph is in the heart of the vibration zone, and as marvellous as the S1000XR is in almost every other way I couldn’t buy one. Day-to-day when you’re not wanting to go bansai the BMW is incredibly annoying and frustrating to ride, all because of that vibration. It’s also not as comfortable as the Ducati as the seat padding seems to flatten off after an hour, the screen and fairing aren’t as good at keeping the wind off you, and it’s not as nicely finished as the Ducati.
And it’s for that reason that what should be a brilliant motorcycle, I couldn’t recommend. And if it was my money I’d take the Multistrada every day.
The Multistrada loses points against the BMW in a corner, even without its panniers on, the handling isn’t as precise as the BMW and you don’t get that feeling of front-end grip and stiffness on the hardest suspension settings that the BMW gives you. It’s not as fast either.
But the rest of the time when you want to go fast the Ducati is fast enough, the motor gives that V-twin grumble rather than a slightly annoying howl, it’s more comfortable, easier-to-live with, suits a wider range of riders with its slightly physically smaller dimensions, is better equipped and just feels better thought out than the S1000XR.
If you want the maddest, fastest adventure bike on the market then the BMW is it. It’s way more accurate and sportier than the Ducati and incredibly exciting to ride.
But the rest of the time, when you want something that’s almost as fast, something that handles almost as well, and covers ground with ease, in comfort and at speed whether two-up or on your own, the Ducati is the one.
