I just acquired my first BMW, so here I am. Not new to bikes..... My current daily rider is a 1981 Goldwing Standard (naked) to which I've added a set of 1981 Honda saddlebags, and a quick-release windshield that's on it for road trips and colder weather.
The "NEW" bike is a 1996 R1100R with 8,100 miles on it. I'm the third owner, and it came with an OEM windshield and BMW saddlebags, both of which are currently not on the bike but I'm sure will see some use. I've only ridden it a few miles so far (still need to transfer title and get a plate on it), but I'm excited to roll on some miles on this thing. Similar torque and horsepower to my Goldwing with 100+ fewer pounds to haul around -- fun fun!!
I tried to attach a photo, but evidently I need to edit it a little because it was huuuuuuuge. So for now no pic. It's red.......
