RS1100 not a good bike? Pretty much the same bike with a different exhaust and different tires always score pretty high in the Paris-Dakar Rally, winning at least one year that I know of.
Those things are awesome! I like the one-piece swingarm with the shaft running inside. BMWs aren't always known for their reliablity, but they sure handle like a dream and go ffffast!!! (of course, the reliability was before the 4 Cyl DOHC engine hit the streets. The HO twin lunger was good, but more time spent 'tinkering' than riding sometimes, esp if the carbs got out of sync!)
