i've had it almost three months now

I have had no problems at all, these things are so solid and well built

I would recommend changing the three oils, plugs and filters then ride it

I wouldn't take it much over 5 grand, there is nothing there except alot of noise, they are best at 3500-4500, ride the torque surge and enjoy

Roll on friday......:comfort
 
soooooo many happy 1100 owners,now thats what i like to see.cheers craig

That's because little goes wrong and it's the best model by far:thumb

My recommendations are...

Braided Hoses....

replace the screen with a MRA Vario. (From 'Jaws' on this site) :thumb2

The shocks will possibly be on their way out... Wilbers. (not cheap... and maybe not a priority - but worth thinking about for the future - they truly tansform the bikes handling)

what else? Absolutely nothing important... If you can live with the seat - marvellous.

looks like you've got a good one there matey... and the best year too. well done. :thumb2
 
1100's are great.......................I have one of these now
