Re: BMW R 1100 Sport
Storming I cant find that model on here for that year http://www.wisebuyers.co.uk/motorcycles/bike-prices/
Check the log book for the exact model number & have a look.
BM's usually hold their value quite well & go round the clock no worries.
From that pic it look quite clean but I suppose up close it may be different.
Factor in new tyres if it's been standing, they will be a 4 digit date stamp on the side wall in a little oval...1 to 52 is the week 99/00/01 ect will be the year. anything over 10 year s they are scrap ! As your looking check for cracks. If it needs new boots bid him down a couple of hundred.
Bid him down anyway !

bitehands off.
These are fantastic bikes, almost got one before the Storm but it was a few grand more at the time.
like the Storm, very underestimated road bike. if you don't take it, let us know as im sure I know someone who would take it.

Re: BMW R 1100 Sport
I think I'm going to take the bike, I haven't owned a BMW before so I'll give it a whirl, gonna offer £800 for it, I believe its a 1998 model, but for some reason he said 1994, he's my foreman so I don't see any issues with it.
Re: BMW R 1100 Sport
Check the alarm if it has one - I bought an SV650 which had spent 2 years festering and the alarm's internal battery went FUBAR whilst I changed the bike battery. Shorting the alarm out was worryingly easy once I'd figured it out but still a PITA and frustrating.

Bought one of these after my storm, absolutely brilliant, for more info try boxertrix.com

Re: BMW R 1100 Sport
Yep there good, but check for slipping clutch as engine has to come out, rear leak from drive shaft too as thats dear to fix, also they use a bit of Oil, don't buy the one with servo brakes, there no better and 3 k to fix if its gone, apart from that very good bikes but wide!!!
missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

Re: BMW R 1100 Sport
wide as in big cylinders poking out the side, i had to fit double gates to get mine in my carport. Great ride though once your used to it, as I've said they do use a bit of oil, generally smoke a little on start up as oil drains off to the LH cyl head when on the stand, sound "Different" but are a great ride, telelever forks are great, brake as hard as you like and NO dive at all. Quality build. My servo was bolloxed and would have cost £3 to fix, i park ex it at CW Motorcycles in Dorchester.( Great Garage)StormingHonda wrote:Sounds bad lol, how do you mean wide?, as wide as an X11?.
oh and getting to the battery to fit it is a right shite job! apart from that, surprise people on it.i did

Re: BMW R 1100 Sport
I've had my offer accepted of £800, I will get the bike delivered in a few week, change the battery, service it, get the bike MOT done and then if I like it keep it if not put it on EBay, I won't lose out.

Re: BMW R 1100 Sport
Yeah I will do, thing is once I have serviced and MOT the bike I would probably stick it up for £1600 Judging by what they go for on EBay and such.grumpyfrog wrote:if you don't get on with it, remember to stick it up here too!
Or might even do a swap for a nice Storm.
