First post, so be gentle and all that...
Looking to get an older GS. Slight preference for the looks of the 1100 with the beaky bit over the 1150 but either would be a nice addition to my BMW collection (I’ve an R9T, M6 and e30 323i in the garage).
Wifey has recently started to accompany me as a pillion but the R9T is not a serious touring option 2-up.
Being a bit of a short arse and with my wife being keen to tour but still a novice on the back seat I’d like to flat foot if possible. I’ve been looking for a bike with the view to fitting something like the Hyperpro lowering kit. I can easily flat foot a new low chassis GS but I prefer the oil head and classic looks of the earlier bikes.
Any thoughts or experiences welcome
Ps - should add budget is around £4K for the bike. Is this do-able for something in nice condition with history?
