Runs pretty nice though, but a...

I have used a Boosterplug on my K and it works. But it is not some magic pill, be all cure all. Be realistic in your expectations. If the bike is stock, it works pretty good. Not perfect, but likely...

Looks interesting. Except they don't say dog ***** about what functions it supports. Yeah, read and clear fault codes. But GS911 can do so much more and by now can do most things the BMW dealer...

I'd pretty much wouldn't want to to ride any bike 800 miles in a day. That would mean highly boring riding and I don't ride to be bored.
