Hi everyone,
I'm from Montreal Canada, I'm 50 years old and I ride since I'm 18, owning a Honda CM400T as a first Bike. I learn riding with this bike, I also learn to get in the ditch...then got a Suzuki Katana 1982 for a year and then stop riding for a while...till I got a K75S, this K75S was just so much fun, but not powerful enough for me and the wife...so I bought this R1150RT Boxer Bimmer which was killing me....killing my back, my ass, my wrist...this was the most uncomfortable bike I've ever riden, I hated it!...I sold it at the end of the season!...I got good money because the bike was looking good...but that's about it! Boxer engine not for me!..in my view this Bike was only good looking, but what a pain to drive, no power, bulky, You know that good looking girl you're going out with that make your life miserable!
I was really missing my K75 but on the 1st January of the following year...I got lucky and found that 1991 K100RS/1 with 80K...(Not sure if it's the real mileage though)....now this thing is not only looking good, it goes!,I did 237 Km/h not bad for a 80 K Machine! it is ultra comfortable for long ride (Thanks to my Aero Flow windscreen (the Best) and Corbin seat). I did a few mod on it like on/off direct switch for radiator fan, removing the original windscreen, brake leds lightning and so on. I bought a K100RS 1987 for parts, dismantled it and sold the running train...so plenty of parts for years to come!
I just blew my transmission last summer, I've found one in LA and got a Parelever for 550 US! I will change it this winter I also cracked my original exhaust and I am waiting after my Black whole exhaust system to come by
anytime soon, while I'm at it I will paint the rim black and stick some Michelin's on it!
If anyone have special tips on transmission removal and splines maintenance please let me know!
