Yesterday i picked up a very clean 04 R1100S.
High mileage but a lot of history and a lot cleaner than bikes id viewed with half the miles.
I rode it 45 miles back through Brecon and Llandovery in pouring rain and it rode absolutely perfectly.
I've wanted one for about 10 years and as prices seem to have bottomed out i decided now was the time.
But what seems like a great idea in your head doesnt always end up with the purchase of a bike you enjoy, fortunately thats not the case here.
I would say, despite the rain, i had the most enjoyable ride ive had for quite a while.
I'll post some pics after id had a chance to run a cloth over her.
Really very happy with my purchase.

Hello Rufus,
ditto! My first one too. I love that the run along the A40, I did a similar route but in reverse.
Before you mention it, I've replaced the spark plug cover!

It really is a very tidy bike.
Hoping to ride it from Carmarthen to Donnington Park on Friday unless the weather is very, very crap!
