I changed the oil on my '95 1100R a couple weekends ago and I have been smelling burning oil every ride since. I have crawled around the bike and inspected every single place that oil could possibly come into contact with hot exhaust or engine parts and I am baffled. I keep my engine pretty darn cle...

I've been studying the R1100GS foot peg plates and it looks like it would be possible to swap these pates and the associated shifter and brake hardware onto an 1100R. Has anybody tried this? I love my 1100R, but the seating position of the GS is way more comfortable. It looks like you can get a set ...

I too have just joined the BMW ranks and I couldn't agree with you more, the R1100R is completely under-rated! I picked my '95 up for $3400 and it was in need of some mechanical TLC, but cosmetically, it is in beautiful shape. I am actually surprised at how many times I catch that "rich bastard...

It's interesting how you can recognize little bits of English in German, but not quite enough to navigate exactly where you want to go. Call me a glutton for punishment, but I enjoy the challenge of k...

Good morning! I have been lurking on this board for a couple weeks and I have found a lot of good input here, so I decided it was time to step out of anonymity and introduce myself. My name is Blake and I live in San Diego. I have been riding for two years and I am getting ready to buy my first BMW....
