Bad Points: Clunky gear box, but get the revs right and it's okay.
General comments: The BMW R1100 is a really good motorcycle, and I should know because I've had 4 of them and a 1150 rt and 2 k1200 LT s.
Brilliant tourer, no complex servo brakes and it's easy to to work on, and you can get second hand parts as well.
Build quality is very good, unlike the newer models and no complex canbus stystem.

MPG is in the mid 40s.
Got enough power to suit most but its no crotch rocket. Engine pulls smooth through out the RPM range. I'm 6'2" and 215lbs and with a Sargent and Aeroflow screen it ' s pretty comfortable.
So far so good with as expected performance and comfort. My wife is no midget as she is 6' ...
