Hi There,
I am a 65 year old Australian and am looking forward to picking up a 2001 R1100s on the weekend.
Have only seen pictures at this stage , it has done roughly 48000 miles and is red...
It has 5.5 rear wheel factory colour coded panniers, bar risers , foot peg lowering kit, Remus exhaust , heated grips , tinted screen and a few other nibs and bobs.
Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh and working out what needs to be done, I will give it a full 50,000mile service, check the left tensioner and change all fluids and filters including the fuel filter, don't know if it has a charcoal cannister , if it does that will be going.
Will post some picks when I get it, meanwhile hello from the South Coast of New South Wales Australia, I live near a well known set of bikers roads known as Kangaroo Valley and have other bikes in the Man Cave that I won't bore you with. .I know my way around a bike and do all my own work after a bad experience back in the early 80s with a Z1R MKII ! Long story but a mechanics incompetence nearly killed me and ripped my crankcase to shreds.
Looking forward to contributing to this forum, I am on the U.K VTR forum aka Kenmoore!
Cheers for now, getting excited, the gent I am buying the bike from is 80 years old and had a stroke. I can tell by talking to him on the phone that he is going to miss his bike. I have assured him it is going to a good home.
P.S Can anyone point me in the right direction for air box mods?
