Simplicity, slower pace JB, never ventured beyond the twin cam, started off on an 1150gs, would love an R80 or R100GS but cant justify the cost.
Must be an age thing!

Welcome back to the hallowed ‘oil head’ club
You’re going to love it
Been out on mine this afternoon and there’s nowt finer as an all rounder
Simple, analogue, enough power to lift its skirts, but mellow enough to appreciate the scenery and smell the breeze
Hail well, my friend

Welcome
Congratulations - a superb bike
Well done, Oilheads are the forgotten heros of BMW... Many of us have tried the Blingtastica range and like cheap food, the experience is passing and lacking in any lasting impression... My 11GS is having a rest waiting for a minor refresh and my 1150RT is a peach and will do just the same as the 1250RT I was parked near last night at the shops...
It cost me less than a deposit on a new one...
Couple of years back after 13 years of hexheads and water cooled BMW's I went out and bought another r1150gs and will be keeping this one , my r1250gsa in the garage has done 303 miles this year and is now back on SORNWell done, Oilheads are the forgotten heros of BMW...

You got the header bolts out then
Don't suppose you fancy hitting mine with the Oxy Acetylene when I get to that part on my bike 'resto'?
Long way for you to bring the bike up to County Durham ;-)Don't suppose you fancy hitting mine with the Oxy Acetylene when I get to that part on my bike 'resto'?
If only you were closer
Seriously, if it's something you'd entertain, it's 'only' a 2.5hr ride...
I'd rather let someone who's done it before have at it...
There must be a local garage to you that has an oxygen acetylene set that can remove them for you ? They will no doubt do them quite regularly on car headersIf only you were closer
