Hi All,

Just joined as recommended by an excellent BMW forum in the UK.

I have just bought a K1100RS 1994 mystic red with about 42000 on the clock. Am planning to do a slow restore to make it look real great again.

So far have discovered the gear indicator going mad, looks like a big job to get to?

I also have an R1200RT ex police bike which is my main bike that I use for work as a bike instructor.

I live in Kent, UK, and have been riding since 1985. Have owned a K100LT, R80RT, 3x R1100RT, and 2X R1200RT.

Looking forward to learning lots about the K110's, and probably asking some stupid questions!

Cheers !

Enjoy the K11, SO much better engineered than the newer BMW offerings.

WELCOME! Good to have you on the forum.

Once you have your K bike sorted you will find it to be a reliable and fast bike.

By the way, Mystic is THE fastest colour. Very Happy

John

Only if allied with a BFD.

Still think Maroon / Grey (gray) has an air of authority & distinction though.
