I own an Aspen Silver (w/ factory pin stripes) 1996 K1100 LT SE which now has gone 74,xxx miles. I bought my LT almost 2 years ago from a guy in Connecticut and I am the third owner. This is my second BMW motorcycle. My 1975 BMW R90/6 is still going strong for a 40 year old bike with over 200,000 miles "on the clock" and I've owned it since 1983 - half of my life! Oh yeah, I reside in the Boston area of Massachusetts.
The LT is now my long-tour bike although the R will still go where ever I want it to . I have ridden the K around town and locally but it shines out on the open road eating up miles of blacktop and I think it looks great doing it. Last year I rode the LT to the Finger Lakes Rally and it was fun to ride except for the BMW "comfort" seat. I recently replaced it with a Corbin and it has made all the difference in comfort. (I know they don't work for some people).
In the future, I plan on doing most of the repair and maintenance, hopefully learning from this forum (and others) along the way.
Talk to you later...
