I just sold my 96 1100R . My Age got me before she did! Loved every minute with that bike. It was as important as a family member to me with the experiences I had with her for 28 years. Thanks for sharing.
@micmac1121 Hi, Thank you so much for commenting. It's great you had such a long and enjoyable time with yours. It was my first bike after returning to biking in 2011. Loved it, such a pleasurable machine to ride with real soul. It saddens me to think I sold her far too early. Even considered contacting the present owner to buy her back. Have my xjr1300 and r1250gs, which are lovely, but miss Barnaby! Take Care.
That's lovely to hear Steve. I've always regretted selling her. Still, need to move on. Went to South of France and Italy amongst others. I really enjoyed bringing her to showroom condition during my ownership. Spend lots of money on her along the way. Hope you have happy times. Say "Hi" for me.... 😊
I just bought a very very nice 1996 model R850R. I am about to start riding it this week in earnest. I had never had a Boxer and wanted to give one a go. What problems have you had with yours? I am trying to learn what to watch out for going forward. Mine has 20K on it today, and not a speck of rust.
Wow. Congratulations. That's fantastic! I've always regretted selling mine. Only only if I had of kept her. Even thought about buying back. I've got an R1250GS, which I love, but given the option, I would opt for the R1100R. It's not all about performance and technology! Happy riding.
@@CLLUK thank you! I rode a modern GS once and they’re an absolute blast but there’s definitely something about just you and the bike with the older 1100r
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Maddox Caiden thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Sorry Austin at the late reply :). There are two orange switches here on the right handlebar, the one that I think you are referring to is the left/right canceler (unique, no maybe not, to BMs)
Okay, I didn't know they came without ABS. I've thought so many times of trying to find another one. Should of listened to all those people telling me not to sell it. Hope you find what you're looking for.
Lovely bike, looking to upgrade from a 2019 V85 TT to a 1998 R1100R That is.. if the old owner can find his keys >.< What type of engine oil did you used to use (reading that this can be an interesting subject) :)

I have this bike now she's still in great condition

She is a testament to your ownership a nd has only covered 4000 miles since you sold her respect stev6
So clean!
Veramente molto ben tenuta. Ne ho avuta una anche io, del 1996 color verde, per 90.000 km. Motore bello esuberante.😊
@@MotoLuHa Muchas gracias. Cada día arrepiento de haberla vendido 😪
@@CLLUK io mi sono pentito di aver venduto la R1150R che comprai dopo questa.
what a beautiful machine!
Przepiękne BMW !
Gratuluję i podziwiam.
So sad, had the same a '98, not without problems but was a gentle soul.

Great! I wish I never had sold mine. Beautiful machine. Love my xjr1300 though but miss the old girl.
dias buenos: hermoza por sus cuatro costados... para variar la industra Alamana

Buenas tardes Jorge, si, verdadamente hermosa, especialmente por su kilometraje.
Just bought one myself!

i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Devin Carl instablaster =)
@Maddox Caiden thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Maddox Caiden it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
@Devin Carl You are welcome =)
just like brand new
Thanks Peter, wish I still had it! :(
Bmw know how to build quality motorcycles,that stand the test of time it a shame the engines and drive shafts are vulnerable
whats vulnreable about 200K miles ?????????????????
Mah!? Ho avuto una R1100R con la quale ho percorso 90.000 km senza problemi; poi un GS 1150 altri 130.000 km senza problemi.
What is the teal switch with an orange background that can be seen at 3:02?
Sorry Austin at the late reply :). There are two orange switches here on the right handlebar, the one that I think you are referring to is the left/right canceler (unique, no maybe not, to BMs)
The “round teal” push button is the starter button, on top of the orange “kill switch”, which works both to the left and right.
What's the mark on the rear fender? I'm looking for r850r and I can't find what fits in there
Hi. I don't know what you're referring to. Sorry. Sold the bike many years ago
almost bought one, but the unit i checked dont have abs
Okay, I didn't know they came without ABS. I've thought so many times of trying to find another one. Should of listened to all those people telling me not to sell it. Hope you find what you're looking for.
brand new!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Muchas gracias Mario, lastima que no la tenga hoy dia :(
Odd dash board on these earlier models imo.
@lefthandyandy I liked it. Thanks for watching.
I was exactly trying to write the same. IMO much better looking than later models.
Hejale, tengo la misma mismo año mismo color es mi joyita.
Buonasera posseggo un r 1100 r anno 1999 purtroppo senza paramani, vorrei acquistarli mi sapete dire come fare grazie
Lovely bike, looking to upgrade from a 2019 V85 TT to a 1998 R1100R
That is.. if the old owner can find his keys >.<
What type of engine oil did you used to use (reading that this can be an interesting subject) :)
Thanks Derek, Motul 10W40. I never had any issues.
Hola amigo,
Pero sabes qué? Me arrepiento de haberlo vendido. Era una muy buena moto.
😂
