    not a trail bike but i like it!

    for those of you who came on the longest day - you will remember the red rocket (or that f*****g beeema - as i referred to it, rather unfairly!)

    i am in a position to trade My Vara for said Red rocket!

    it kinda got under my skin!

    please feel free to give me all manner of advice both for and against the R1100RS from ye who know of BMWs!

    many thanks!

    Guess Yeti is the man to advise, but then you sat on it for long enough. Is it the very same one you used, or the same model??

    the very same one - it was great - uncomfortable after 20 hours - but honestly how often do you do that??

    was great for up to 6 hours at a time (with fuel only stops!)
