Another year...!

2024 was actually drama free. Amazing I know.

There was rumblings amongst friends of another European jaunt. Knowing this, I made some changes for improved comfort and practicality ...

Re: Ohh a sunny day!

I absolutely love these and the only bike I would ever consider replacing the R1100 with. They are stunning.

I would however enter a new world of ABS and other such internet documented gremlins, so I always bottle it. :?

Perhaps one day...

Let us know how you get on with it.

Re: My 2004 R1100S Diary

Hi All,

Another year gone...!

I'd love to report a year of trouble free riding but that hasn't been the case, so here we are again...

Re: My 2004 R1100S Diary

Thanks Paul, i'll keep that in mind.

All the best from another recently migrated to East Anglia. Any suggestions for good motorcycling routes in these parts would be most welcome, for someone just north of Thetford.

I've been Cambridgeshire now for 20 years, but was originally a Suffolk lad. All ...

Thanks for all the kind comments. Thanks to FuzzyEdges for the magazine article; very interesting reading.



I'm looking forward to read more about your Beeline experience. I thought about buying one last year but never crossed the fence...

My 2004 R1100S Diary - April 2021

Hi All,

Thought i'd do an update... from as far back as 2019 now.

Southern France 2019

The first trip to justify the purchase of the bike itself. Oh the memories from pre-lockdown!

Six days, 1348 miles on the clock, down to the area of Corps, France.

Some fantastic scenery on the way down ...

Re: New bike ....

Absolutely gorgeous... but I would say that :wink:

I was 10 in 1989 and my parents had a subscription to Radio Times. That year, Radio Times had a double page K1 advert in the centre-fold. I un-picked the staples and that went straight on the bedroom wall as the motorbike I was going to own. My ...

My 2004 R1100S Diary

Hi All,

Just thought i'd make a diary of my new R1100S experience. I hope this is the right section.

Little admission to start... i'm not really a die-hard biker. If i'm getting my knee down it’s probably because i've fallen off. Bikes for me have to spark an aesthetic interest, irrespective of ...

Re: R1100S Cubic Capacity on V5?

Thanks everyone for taking the time to reply. Seems the verdict is; what ever is written on the V5 is totally random ! :lol:

R1100S Cubic Capacity on V5?

Hi All,

Just purchased a 2004 R1100S and have a burning question already. Sorry if its been asked before.

My V5 I have just received through the post states 1130cc.... which is the 1150 designation CC, but BMW didn't make an R1150S?

The engine number is correct on the V5 and I don't think its ...
