Hello guys,

I am the happy owner of a K1100RS since a couple of weeks. This is actually my fifth BMW motorbike.

This K11RS is from 1993, I purchased it from the first owner and it ran only 39000 km.

The conditions are almost brand new, here is the picture :



I ordered a laminar lip for extending the windshield (hoping it will be efficient) and a LED Tail Light kit. They are both coming from the USA so I will have to wait a couple of weeks before being able to install them

Thanks, so far I am reading a lot. I will be posting as soon as I get more pictures.

The only parts which are not stock are :

- rear suspension Koni
- all break pipes are metallic, in French we use to say : "aviation durit" but not sure in English

Welcome! I lived in Le Chambon sur Lignon for 9 months studying French. Loved it. Interesting people. Had a lot of good wine, bread, and chocolate. Didn't have a cycle there. My only regret. I did have a Fiat Uno and loved all the curvy roads.

I don't know the exact location but I know there are a lot of curves other there Wink

I am living in the northern of Burgundy which is about 100 km south-est of Paris.
