Exactly ~ they face a reasonable engineering challenge. What it also says to me is that the following Boxer twins enjoys is seen to be enduring.

Thanks chaps ~ very interesting so far. It looks like it could be a toss a coin type scenario but hopefully a consensus will emerge.

Still trying to get my head around which is best ~ not the Brand, the type. So please share what you use below. If you want to disclose the mileage of your engine that would also be useful. Also if you have experienced any engine issues e.g. excessive wear, smoking exhaust, component failure, etc. M...

Thanks Simon, great idea ~ H

Thank you both ~ I'll get a set of new ones from BMW

The S has finally arrived at her new home here in the Costa Tropical, Spain. Immediately took her to the garage, inflated the tyres and filled the tank with 98RON and took her for a spin.

When is the uber-expensive service due on these?

Welcome. I've owned a 1996 VFR750, 2x800s and a vtec plus I'm now on my second 1100S ~ I sold a VFR800 FiY earlier this year. My opinion FWIW is the 1100S is a more useable bike with a lot of nice design points the VFR hasn't. The last VFR750s are getting to classic status now but they'll be 20 year...
