Hi all,
more so
Im new to bmw k's, ive had the boxer engine in an r1100rt and a r1100gs, i have a 2005 harley and have owned most sport bikes and maxi scoots. I bought my k as my dad said they were good bikes, I love rough tatty old bm's not restored show pieces. Mine is the earlier, it has 114,500 miles on it and rides like a jap bike with about 10k on it AMAZING! the abs works as do all the electrics, i can go down to 20mph ish in top gear and the engine does not idle, i can do 80 with out any buffeting (rt Model) i can wear an open face lid and drink a cup of tea in my thermos cup and rest it in the top left glove box (very important for a tea loving brit!) this bike is almost perfect, it only cost me 580 gbp yes it tatty (pic will follow) but i already am very attached to it. Does any one have any ideas how to diffuse the incredible engine heat ommited from the engine? i have to sometimes have my legs akimbo to "cool down" you boys in the states must suffer more so than us here in a less temperate great Britain.
I'm very pleased with my flying brick and intend to treat it to a good service as it came with no history. Any advice or pointers would be greatly recieved from you seasoned flying brick owners and for this i say thanks in advance. :2thumbup:
