Anyone know this bike ? Looks like a nice low mileage nice condition R1100S that I might be interested in.

Hard to tell from 1 photo and not a lot of info in the ad but if it is a sport model the rear (and the front)shock spring should be yellow, it could be after an market one but it looks standard to me, the pannier rails and rear footrest mounts for the boxes are not fitted so make sure they are with the boxes if you do go for it, and welcome to the forum by the way.

Have a look in the for sale section, there is a nice one for sale on there.

As Al said the rear shock is the standard one and it has the standard rear wheel too. So its certainly not the sports model
Maybe this picture is the one taken when the bike was new to the seller, hence no pannier rails and hangers fitted.
If its a recent pic then it looks in good nick, and of course in one of the more desirable colours .
Worth a look for the price maybe

If your after a mint example with all the correct extras, then as said above, take a serious look at the bike currently for sale from Big Rob.

He fastidiously looks after his bikes and you won't go wrong spending a bit more and taking his one. The Wilber's suspension alone would account for most of the price difference between the one in the link and Rob's bike. The black engine is also an advantage as they appear to be impervious to the flaking that effects some of the non-coated engines. Obviously the extra mileage is academic.

Good luck.
