Great video, I have a 2001 R1100R with retro paint, Im envious of your mileage, mine only has 24k miles. Amazing machine has never left me stranded. I keep up with maintenance and treat the old girl right, no ethanol ever and only high octane. Keep up the good work your bike will last a lifetime
Lovely machine, I had the GS version, it's still going strong with 110k on the clock. The only thing I'd say is possibly look at changing those rubber brake hoses with braided ones. Loads of life left in that yet!
Riding r1100s and recently got r1150r with only 9,000 Mi currently. Recently heard that the boxers don't like to sit idling it is really not good better to start it and drive away. Have fun🙏🙏
I have a 1996 BMW1100r .My only disappointment is the battery under the Tank. Keep it on a charger when not riding. That road side fix is not happening unless you have a spare battery otherwise I have 50,000 on it in the Eastern U.S. and the bike is bullet proof! My only other complaint is that at times my ABS light will not go off. I will have to stop, turn off and restart the bike and ride. It usually goes off unless again, the battery draw is too much. I have an ABS version
Hello from New Jersey USA! I am looking at purchasing my first BMW, a 2005 R1200RT that is the same color. Your bike is beautiful for its age, and looks much better than many newer bikes I have seen. How do you keep the aluminum so clean?
Hello from France , beautiful this amazing bmw! :) question: I'm interested in buying a used model from 1998 but I'm a little afraid of the lack of a fuel gauge and an odometer... there's really only the indicator reserve on this bike? Or did I look wrong?
Appreciate your care and love of the bike. With the mileage being over 100k, any issues with the transmission or clutch? I also have an R1100r (2000) with 27k miles, just wondering if I should expect any issues.
Great video and spectacular bike. I am currently looking at a 1999 R1100R Se. The asking price is $4980 USD but I am not sure if thats a fair asking price or not? Anyway, thank you so much for sharing.
Just got a R850R,so interested in your maintenance how to`s etc.mine`s a 01 & needs a bit of tlc, it`s going to take me touring hopefully, I live in the costa blanca,so lots of places to see,subed,will keep an eye on your stuff,
Hello, what weight oil do you use in the engine? I have a '98 R1100R, I use 20w/50 and I can't say it fires up like yours! And I live in Arizona! Thanks.
Is that front swing arm progressive rate or any bell and crank to alter the ratio? I have the 2000 with the cowlings and those rear view mirrors are sitting ducks! You have a safer setup. In the USA do you recommend high octane fuel?

Nice video. What brand is the aftermarket pillion seat and what's your impression of the MRA windscreen in terms of wind protection/buffeting?
Oh yes I meant to ask what brand is that windshield that looks exactly what I need? Thank you kindly

Well near 3500€ is a much readonable price!! You might go for an R850r.. on paper it has less power. But in Real iTs just 1hp short or so...!
