New to me 94 K1100RS

not new to BMW , but new to oilheads. My current other bike is a 94 K75S, which has some similarities, but ... I know it's an R, not a K, just so used to typing K. 74,000 miles, .

Nice looking RS. Should be a great touring bike, when we can do that again!

Hey, I have an Oilhead and a K75S! Only it's my K75S that is Marikesh red with the Corbin red pin-stripe seat.

My 2004 R1150GSA

Just bought this 04 R1150GSA 2 months ago. 63k miles. My first BMW. Rebuilt FD. Runs awesome. Wilbers suspension front and rear. Looking forward to many years with it.

8.7 gallons + 1 gallon + 1 gallon. At 45 MPG you won't make it 500 miles. Better add an auxiliary tank

Takes some time to get used to the boxer if you're coming from an inline but once you do you'll like the high torque it provides at just about any range. The only thing I missed for a while was the quick acceleration but we just switched to a more relaxing touring and cruising style. One thing I recommend is to get the RT front fender, it fits right on and gives a much better protection for your motor. Congrats on your new R!

Back out for my first little overnight trip on this bike. I couldn't believe how comfortable the seat was!

End of the road in Miles Cove

This is the little RR I put up on our local forum.

Please tell me you're not referring to the stock seat! That thing gave me a wedgie within 10 miles . . . .

Custom Corbin, ahhh, much better! Well, for my behind, at least.
