Hello all.

[Daz555]

Just a quick hi from me as I enter the heady world of R1100S ownership.

I've been riding for 4 years and this is my second bike after having previously being a Hooner with my CB600FS Hornet (STOLEN )I'm an all-weather biker/commuter and do about 400 miles a week.

I only picked up my bike on Monday and here it is:



Completely standard 2000 R1100S but is missing centre stand. Only 3300 miles since new. Previous owner was a wealthy man with A LOT of toys and simply never rode it.

I'll be posting in the techie section in a bit as I have a few queries regarding my new toy.

Good buy! As good as new! I always liked the silver/yellow ones, though it isn't the fastest colour as you'll learn here.

There are some more who use it as a commuter bike and do a lot of miles on it (me too). You'll find out it performs well in that role ... and as a tourer, and as sportsbike, and for the occasional track day.

Hi Daz555,
Welcome to the jungle. This site is great for allsorts info, hints and tips, its help me loads. If youv'e never owned a boxer before you'll have to get used to the phrase "They all do that!" you'll hear it alot.

Cheers Cobbster.

"they all do that" and "the bolts and finish are crap"

BUT a great bike all the same

Welcome and enjoy

I personally think the reverse colour scheme is atleast 10MPH faster

[Daz555]

Cheers for the welcome.

Things I noticed so far:

1. Some colours ARE faster.
2. H0nda is a swear word. Come on....poor little old Honda?

and we are all rather sweet and friendly

Oh ... and you need a signature: a list of all the toys you ever owned.... or a list of all the toys you own nowadays .... or some words of wisdom .... or madness
