Hello there
Im a longterm BMW car & bike fan. I was the owner of this lovely 94 K1100RS and I am scratching my head as to why I sold it. I also used to be the owner of this superb 04 R1150GS adventure. I have been using a car for a while now but I am returning to two wheels again and I would like an RS or an LT. here in the UK the LT is a rare bike but the the RS is rarer still. So here I am searching again.

Macp,
Some of us do some dumb things, don't we? (see my signature at the bottom)
WELCOME to the K11OG!
That was a nice nice GS Oilhead also (my new BMW weakness)
Good luck with your search.
John

Hi and thanks for the welcome seems like you have two perfect bikes there.I am in South Cheshire & close by we have the city of Chester and they make Bentley cars not too far away too.

Hi John
Thanks for the welcome and yes dumb would be the word.In my opinion John the GS was probably the best roadbike I have ever had.The RS was good but the GS was something else.Would love a Pearl White K100RS like yours.

You could expand your search for an RS or Lt, there are still a good selection in the Netherlands
Take a look at Marktplaats.nl/motoren/bmw, then type in what model your looking for .

Both beautiful machines John
I had a day out on an R1100S from my local BMW dealership and it was a really wet day but I had so much fun because the bike felt so safe and capable.

Do many on here ride the K75 as I have seen a lovely K75S for sale close to me and the owner has spent a fortune on it.
Must admit I fancy a K1100LT not sure why though.

I fancied one, 60 K miles later, I'm on my third, nowt wrong with em just kept getting newer. IMHO the driest (weather) bike I've ever ridden.
