What's The Best Sounding Exhaust For The R1100S?

IIUC, most folk like to replace the cat with a Remus Y-piece, and replace the BMW cans with something else. Assuming replacing the cat with the Y-piece and replacing the BMW cans with [whatever brand] will all yield some sort of free-er breathing and possibly a little more power without causing any ...

These are PDF files from US and UK bike magazines, which unless site owners want to get in trouble with copyright infringements, you cannot find online. So if this site didn't have the right to sell these files (I would presume it does?), who'd be in trouble for what when someone bought a copy of o...

Hi Stormcloud (or anyone else who's bought any reports from mcreports.com), Do you mind if I ask if the articles you got from mcreports.com contained anything that couldn't be found online on review sites or forums? $21 seems like good value, and it sounds like the reports you got (I presume you got...

Where do you guys search when you're shopping for bikes? I'm aware of autotrader.co.uk, mobile.de and MCN. The only dealer-sale R1100Ss I see for around the €2500 mark seem to be crashed repairables - would any of you guys bother with these? Where would I go to find R1100S spares prices? Is there a ...

You mean you won't be shopping local? :shock: :wink: ( Sorry I can't offer advice on the 1150GS) And I'm sure you're not interested in a high mileage S :wink: Nigel B What's a high-mileage S? 100,000? 50,000? If a bike's mechanically sound and not falling apart and there's nothing missing and it's ...

I do have one issue where there is what I'd call a token article - it's interesting, but IMO, lacks the depth that some of the early ultimate buyer's guides contained. I take that back - I had a look again last night (Nov 2007 issue, article by Kev Raymond). It is actually a very thorough article. ...

What were talking about is a Traillie V a Sports tourer You guys all obviously have the experience, and I'm very grateful for all your replies - all I can do for now is read them and magazine/web articles. But all I've read about the 1150GS so far largely discounts the 1150GS as a real "traill...

R1100S or R1150GS?

Correct forum for this question? If not, mods please move. I'm sure most folk on here will say 1100S and over on UKGSer they'll say 1150GS. I'm sure either would serve well in its own way, and that I'd be overjoyed with ownership of either, so what factors should sway me? What do I need the bike for...

So when will this issue of RiDE hit the shelves? Only last night I was in the attic going all my RiDE (and BiKE) mags to dig out anything on the R1100S. I only have Oct 95 - June 2002 (obviously nothing in the pre-98 issues :oops:), and sporadic issues after that. I was hoping there'd be an ultimate...
