looking for a coal mine
That's a gorgeous bike. Time to go visit my bank and inquire about a loan.
Do a little wheeling and dealing, and you could have that bike home after a cross country trip for around $10k. Not bad.

Although the 1100RT's lack some of the "improvements" mentioned, they have plenty of power for long distance touring, ABS, and really great lines. 7 - 8K should get you a specimen with low miles and lots of extras; some out there for under 6K. Mine is a 98, bought from a dealer 2 seasons ago with 68K miles, it just turned 100K and runs great. I think the 1100's are a great value, and if I wear this one out, I will most likely get another. Why? The sexy organic lines and the price.
Happy hunting,
Rick
I now own a 2002 R1150RT-P. Funds will clear and title exchanged next Wednesday.
So long "K", hello "R".
Congratulations.
With that extra power lane splitting will be that much more tempting.
What should I be looking for?
Any years and/or options I should avoid?
Since these bikes last forever, I think I'm willing to accept some miles and some years in exchange for a lower price - but how old should I go before I run into the risk of having to spend a lot of money renewing parts as they wear out instead of simply enjoying a reliable bike?
