I've got a 1996 R 1100 RS & i love it The only thing I changed was 40mm spacers under the bars to save my 66 yr old back & the crap standard grips. I'll never sell this bike, Seat will be re padded & covered next few weeks because it's getting hard with age just like me lol

I'm 64 and just bought a 2000 RS in great shape. It does feel odd at slow speeds. Not my first BMW, either.

It's an oil head, not an air head, and it's air and oil cooled. And it has a telelever front suspension, not cantilever.

I’ve had a 93 model for about 2 months. Love it. Put pilot roads on it. Synced the throttle bodies, added a lambs wool seat cover. It’s exhilarating with comfort 143ks and purrs!

Hey. Heard that 93 models had lot of problems. You had any of those ?

I own this bike and I will keep it!! It's amazing and will still stand up to the modern bikes of today. Real motorcyclists bike! BTW I actually like the sideways torque...

Was chatting with a friend yesterday who happens to have one in his garage that hasn’t been ridden in years. Going to Try and come to an agreement with him. I love that bike. Me wants it.

I owned one for years, i remember that it used to pull you down slightly in right hand bends and lift you up slightly in left hand bends, you just get used to it...

I think of the boxer bikes as double gyroscope machines. The flywheel turns one way and the wheels 90 degrees apart. Seems like that might account for it's unique ride??

"I love the smell of a cattle truck in the morning, smells like victory!" Well maybe not, but good choice to pull over rather than risk a blind corner pass or having to smell that "sheet" all the way down the hill. I had a 1994 BMW R1100RS and that "sideways torque" of the motor to the right bugged me at a stop. The K1200RS that I got later didn't have that much rocking to the side.

thatll be because its a completely different bike durrr..

@ababbit7461 4 жыл бұрын

@@geedee6339 Both have their crankshaft inline with the frame, not across the frame so they have a torque reaction when rev'd up, but the K1200rs does not shift side to side like the R1100rs. The Goldwing (all models) and Moto Guzzi have the same inline crankshaft. The Goldwing counter rotates the alternator to stop the rocking motion, whereas, the Moto Guzzi does not and it rocks like BMW Rseries. Engineering or is it Twins vs Multis?

I had the last carburetor boxer , the R100R and loved it to parts until I crashed it against an Audi A4 with my then girlfriend on . Then I married her and stepped down from motorcycling for 11 years to allow our baby daughter some room . I remember how much I loved this next and new injection model but when I returned to the road I had turned a guzzista , and got me aCentauro that I use to this day . But somehow this BMW still appeals to me much than the later models , has this 70s feeling to it … an I can do luggage traveling , which I can’t with the Centauro . However how many miles would be too many when buying one and which year is best ? Thanks 🙏

@@angeluriarte7745 Well the first models had problems with the gearbox. There was a recall from bmw for that. Models from 97 and up didnt had those problems. The thing is when those earlier models didnt had that recall then you can end up with a broken gearbox. The problem was shifting from 2 to 3 gear. The engine is rocksolid though.

@@angeluriarte7745 The 97 models and above hadnt that problem anymore in the productionline. All the other models had a recall from bmw so they could fix it. You can easily go to a bmw salespoint to check if yours had a recall undergoing.
