Minnesota Nice!
Hey George,Braddog,
I'm wondering why you got rid of theR100S and not the RS.I think I would have done just the opposite.
My R100RS is an early '77 with the 40mm carbs and pipes. It was also my first airhead. My '77 R100S had been heavily modified by at least 1 user over the years, and had an RS fairing on it. So, basically, I had 2 RS's, one original, one modified. The "S" may actually have been a better bike due to the modifications, but I needed to move one, so I chose the "S". I really have no regrets.
I was able to pick up a '94 R11RS for a song from a friend of a friend. I almost feel guilty in that I've put waaaay more miles on the R11RS than I have the R100RS this past riding season.
For the record, the person I sold the '77 R100S to "converted" it back to a real live "S", complete with "S" fairing. He also put in new pistons, Delorto carbs, and painted it white with red stripes in a motosport vein. He wants me to come ride it. Yeah, right, ride it and sell it back to me is what he wants to do.
