I too am French Resident and new to the fold of the flying brick.

I already have an R100RT but was offered an "as new" K100 Rs 16v and couldn't resist. It has been owned since new by a chap I know in the UK and it as 5800 miles on it. I am recommissioning it at the moment and mostly fine. Discovered a weep from the front master which hs already been repaired by a BM dealer 400 miles ago in 2004. I will probably try an get away with another repair kit as a new cylinder isn't cheap but we will see.

Need to get my head in the manual and see how to attack the brakes as I also have a flashing ABS light.

Looking forward to getting it on the road soon.

Thanks for your advices and support. Yes this part of the world is heaven for a bike. Deserted roads, some with racetrack surfaces. I need the RS so that I have two modern bikes to use as a tour guide which is part of my long term plan with a Biker based B&B.
