Hullo to all from a sinking Somerset. I needed a big/reliable/good mpg/home maintainable commuting bike 2 years ago and bought a K100RS with 46k on the clock. It now has 59k and what a machine. Last year i rode it 1270 miles in 5 days and it delivered. Weather was not to kind either. I get the normal niggling problems with vibration at 65mph, and the intermitant speedo. But thats called character. The bike gets gets ridden in all weathers, and lives under a bike cover on the street. The mods i've fitted are a piece of rubber matting between the rear wheel and clutch arm bellows, a set of crash bars, and a givi box. Thanks for a great forum. Plenty of quality infomation for a newbie on how to maintain one of these bikes using your toolbox not your wallet. Regards. Blacknails.
