Unboxing the S1000XR
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
There were no line-ups down the block like there would have been for the unveiling of a new iPhone, but the latest addition to BMW's line up - the S1000XR - is already tweaking the interest of both adventure touring and sport enthusiasts.
This weekend I got to document one of the first North American XRs coming out of the box at Maranello Moto Sport in Toronto.
Mmmm, can't wait to ride one!
