Certainly being 5-10 yr old bikes they stand out as examples of the German engineering. The design still looks relatively fresh and performance wise you can certainly hang with the 1150's no problem. I got mine when i was still new to motorcycles, infact I didnt even have my motorcycle license when...

By right its should be shorten but I don't know by how much. if you really want to test to see if the front fork will dive, when you travel at around 20km/hr, try using the rear brake only ; this way the front fork dive more obviously then its using front brake. You can judge if the fork had max out...

On a different note... I picked up my '96 R1100R from the dealer last night. My clutch was slipping and needed replacement. The dealer also replaced the clutch input shaft. There was no oil on the clutch. All of the seals were in good shape. When I left the dealer and rode about six miles, the moto...

Re: R1100R owners
However, the bike itself has been great - especially since I added a Techlusion and a Remus Gran Prix can and cat eliminator pipe. Did the Techlusion improve the rideability of your R1100R? Specifically, did it improve cold starts? Mine is about the most cold-blooded animal I have owned in a long, ...

Re: R1100R Top Box
I just made a deal on a 1999 R1100R. It has BMW system bags (saddle bags only). I called to order a Givi Top box and mounting hardware and much to my surprise they dont make the hardware to mount the bag! So after reading through the forum I to am already feeling like the step child. Has any one el...

I lived in Germany from 97 to 01, and remember seeing R1100s all over--it was a pretty popular bike as I recall. For some reason, naked bikes/roadsters aren't very popular with Americans like they are all over the rest of the world--kinda like soccer. :D Never mind about the others, as long as you ...
