Hello,

That's it really.. I havent got one but I should be getting one shortly assuming someone buys my car! and my pan.. im not sure if im allowed to mention other bikes on here :roll:

I suppose I should clarify im after an R1100S if anyone is thinking of parting with one..

Cheers.

Pan???, Frying Pan?, Pipes of Pan? :lol: :lol: You can mention them but no one will ever talk to you again :wink:

Seriously, nows the time to buy an S Id have thought, seen some really nice ones go for very little money recently, some from this Forum.

Welcome mate, hope you find the bike youre looking for and dont be shy for asking questions about a particular version etc before buying. There all nice, just some nicer than others, the 2000 model in Silver and Black a particularly fine specimen if I may say so :D :D

Thanks,

If I could choose I would get a boxercup with a black engine but i doubt I can afford it! Ill see whats around..

Am I right in thinking there is the S and an SS? or a sport version or something similar.. or have i made that up?

Yep there was an SS with Sport suspension(A Bit Higher) and bigger back wheel(5.5" wheel 180 tyre as opposed to 5" 170),also they had a bit more power via a Vandeline Exhaust Sytem. And just to confuse you even more there are Std S's, with the Sport package, same as above, but without exhaust

Steve at Jap and German (www.japandgerman.co.uk) have a rather tidy black S that I think is for sale if you are still looking. I recommend them, they have been looking after my S and a few others on this site and get nothing but praise.

Welcome

Welcome to the site, Ian.

Reckon you'll have to pay £4,500 + for a BoxerCup (they are faster, you know 8) )

A bit of a dilema for you............ finding the 1100s that you want, before you start to miss out on riding weather............. :?

Good luck

Cheers for the jap and german link.. a black one is a good start.. i would need panniers and some heated grips though. How often to panniers come up on Flebay?

I've decided I really want a mamola one they look pretty cool.. ive got a thing for white bikes and its almost there ;)

I think you'll find that the weight of all the stickers and extra paint, along with the increased drag caused by the edges of the decals slows them down...
