Hello, I purchased a 99 r1100rt, 65000 miles, a couple of days before the snow started falling. I was able to ride for a few hours and it just whirs along at 70. I do realize my riding skills have diminished. Look forward to taking riding classes this summer. I had a Harley, 2007 road glide, and put about 65000 trouble-free miles on it. Loved it. Sold it and bought a 2002 BMW convertible,330. Not the same as a motorcycle. I am 65 with back problems and the car is a joy. The RT is my winter project. I have a new front tire mounted waiting for brake pads and a day over 30 f. Will try to change the hall sensor, it doesn't look that hard thanks to the info on the web. Hoping to have it out and about by st. paddy's day. I am in southwest mt and we have some great riding. If I really like it I may look into a newer model.
