Many of you know how much I loved my old R1100R...

Well I've just found this . Check it out in the stock list. Sure it's way overpriced but for cash, who knows

I leave it up to you to talk me out of it

Go get it!!!!

i always liked those, it must be watching the couriers nipping around town on them

Sorry Richard, can't talk you out of it!!
Post more pictures after you get it home

I had one a loan bike once - man alive you can chuck them around! Well flickable. I just hated the gearbox but I guess you 1100 owners are used to that.

what are those things on the frame?

You're not doing a very good job here folks.

My first ever BM was a 1996 R1100R which I had for 18 months and over 30000 miles. Rode the spuds off it on a regular basis and never had an ounce of trouble with it. Great thing is that they look so incredibly dull yet are a hoot to ride. The one for sale here probably needs running-in again with such few miles on it. Not seen one in such good nick for a long long time.

Would I miss the Blackbird's bombproof build and 160bhp? Hmmm...

I think you might be referring to the oil coolers? There's one on each side mounted above the cylinders.

My second 11R - complete with our big woofer, Jack, who's saying 'touch my dad's bike...you lose an arm'



Once I'd done a couple of mods...

Richard , there is no law against having 2 bikes,so keep the Honda. I have just looked and the BM is for sale at Bill Lomas Motorcycles. I used to watch Bill race just after the war (2nd) when I was a small boy. He raced the V8 Moto Guzzi for a short while. He used to have his shop on the A6 at Milford, had a window full of old racing bikes.

There is in this house unfortunately.

I've got the go-ahead from Ann for this, just need to get my head round having 'only' 80bhp again

Will sleep on this tonight, then give Lomas's a ring in the morning for a bit more info.

Richard,
I'm not going to try and talk you out of this, You know you want it!! That Honda has been in your garage for far to long.

I reckon you've already made your mind up mate, I take it your thinking of part-exing the blackbird? that's a shame, 'cos I really like that bike of yours, and I've room in the garage for another! Hmmm

Steve - I'd be selling the Blackbird separately (if I do end up changing) as I'm after getting a fair wedge knocked off that 11R.

I had an 850R on loan for a few days when Bemer Bikes were sorting out my Evo Brake thingy, I found it great fun to ride and it felt like a 125 after my S.

Go for it!
