What was the damage for the shocks? My r1100r has 60K miles on original shocks.

Bought the 2000. It has 60,000 mi and the condition is stunning. Looks like it just came out of the factory crate .

There are two r1100r available today. A shop serviced 96 with 38,000mi and a 00 never been in a shop with 60,000mi. Both are in good visual shape. Were there any compelling mechanical updates done by bmw between 94 and 00? Both owners say there are no issues. (hmmm)

I'm just curious, I live in Virginia where radar detectors are illegal. However, is there a way that an officer of the law using a radar speed detection device can actually tell that somebody has a radar detector? I've always played with the idea of getting a radar detector, getting one of those he...

It was rough going from a device driver standpoint with XP when it was released. I'm going to wait a while for things to settle down with Vista.

Interesting!

Also N.Y. allows motorcycles to travel two abreast in a single lane.

Interesting to note though, you never see Motor Police traveling together other than two abreast.

Yes, I had a girlfriend back then that insisted I drive her dad's 65 Mustang convertable He had a toilet paper filter in it and no amout of discussion could I persuade her that it was the wrong way to go. So I found other ways to take my mind off it.

Looks like the base price has increased about 700 pounds. Hmmm...

I don't think the American import version has the sharp cut off. Not allowed there.

Would the Police versions not also have this problem ? I don't think they would purchase them if it was that much of an issue ?

Another possible version of the R1200R floating about on the Euro forums.

They are asking $8K CDN for a very clean 98 R850R with 14,000 km at the local bike shop. It has heated grips, side touring cases but no ABS. I have a feeling this price is rather high ? Is there a Blackbook price on this ?

Argh, yes, sorry for the mixup. It was a R1200S.

The dealer here in Victoria just got a Yellow one in with large back tire, ABS, Heated grips and sport suspension. $23,000 taxes in. The suspension was a $1200 option.
