1995 BMW R 1100 RS review from United States of America
"Good, dependable, boring"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Head gaskets started to leak when the bike was 2 years old.
The battery is a pain to service because of its location.
General comments?
The Beemer is a very capable high speed commuter, but it is not very exciting in any way. I think of it as an appliance.
