Well, the ST1100 was the best BMW, BMW never built. By accounts from some BTP I aquaint with the 1300 is better still. Just make sure you use the rubber granulated grease on the rear wheel splines at every tyre change.

On the ST1300? Yes, they do look rather armchairy. Where the ST1100 feels more prone and involving.

Think I got my R1100S with around 38,000 to 40,000 miles already on it.
I only rode it for a few thousand "hard, ham fisted" miles before the gearbox went KAPOW! I think the final reading was around 46,000 miles.
Relatively speaking, this isn't the only bike I've destroyed with my Kevin Schwantz riding style (or rather, lack of style).

I did like the BMW R1100S, it looked unusual, had heated grips, was comfortable and never tried to kill me.
