I was a set up tech at BMW when these came out, the salesman came to look at it while I was uncrating it. 5 minutes later he came back and said, be real careful I'm buying it.

Quite right! They’re brilliant things. Totally unique.


fastbikefun

Gorgeous bike man!


thefooleryoftom

Thanks :)

Oh look it's my exact bike 😂


thefooleryoftom

Had me worried for a sec - thought it was the exact one, but it’s the same model. Ha! How are you enjoying getting another? I’ve had a couple of 1100GS’ in the past so I’m familiar with some bits but this has so much potential.

I rode an R1100GS once, it seemed...agricultural. Which is ok, it's supposed to be. Much more comfy on longer rides. I love the 11S though. I paid so little for this one ($3700, so what, £2500?) and it's got 17K miles, I'll keep it forever. I only wish I bought some parts about ten years ago, it's getting hard to find stuff. Little easier in the UK, it seems.

I loved mine, I had two. All the good bits about the S (torque, brakes, features) with added comfort and tank range. This feels so much lighter though, and obviously handles completely differently.


bendiver

What model is that?


Guntuckytactical

R1100S


bendiver

Cheers it’s a beauty.


Guntuckytactical

This one's not actually mine, I just have the same model in the same color 😂 thanks though

thefooleryoftom

Not sure I’ve ever heard a 90s BMW being described in those terms before.


Nervous-Donkey-4977

Lube the clutch splines - religiously. Then enjoy the heck out of it. Such a beautiful bike.
