I've had an opportunity come up to possibly trade my sad 1997 R850R for a pretty good-looking 1995 R1100GS. It's got 65k miles and appears to have been well-maintained, with some records.
What do I need to know about this particular year that could be a concern down the road? Earlier transmission model woes, what good stuff it might be missing that later models have, stuff that applies to a GS at this mileage, that sort of thing. I know it's Year 1 for the US model R1100GS; were there any significant teething problems?
Edit: I should say if I get it I do plan on taking it off-road. Probably nothing too aggressive.
