Hi guys, I’m currently playing with the idea of buying a bmw r 1100 s, right now I’m driving a suzuki gsx 600f with 86 ps, but I want to buy another motorcycle next year (so don’t hurry) as I said, I find the bmw r 1100 s interesting, so now some questions 1. is the motorcycle for longer tours, at my size 1.96 m, at all suitable, so I’ll be uncomfortable sitting, will hurt with fast something or something. 2. since I want to drive my new motorcycle only in 2006 I have enough time to find a new one, I would like to buy a used machine for about 7000- 8000 €, so I wonder when the best time is to buy a used motorcycle? I thought to myself to buy the new one in the autumn (lower demand –> lower purchase price?) and my suzuki in the early year (higher demand –> higher sale price?) for sale, s 3. didn’t hear that all r 1100s were built with abs? from which year of construction?, 4, what’s with the standard equipment? or what’s special equipment? there are apparently tour handlebars and tour windshields (higher), special equipment? 5. what reasons are there to switch to bmw, I could soon buy a new asian for this money, customer services expensive (what intervals)? tax how much?, consumption?, mature (cost durability)? many questions. …. thank you for your reply
