Hello all, as I'm about to buy an old R850R I thought I'd best join up to get any info I need.
I've owned BMs before over many years, starting with a R100/7 and progressing through most of the range, including my last one, a R1100R. After some years on other makes I am now buying said R850R with about 130,000km on it. Looking forward to getting it, though my current bikes are all much lighter!
I'll post some pics and initial thoughts / questions in a couple of weeks.
 
Thanks for the welcome. Picked it up last week but it's been too hot to work on (lots of dirt accumulated over it's 24 years and 130k kilometres, but also because I need a new front tyre - the one fitted has been used to within a millimeter of everything! Got the wheel out this morning (easy release axle, but then a right game to get the wheel out!). Anyway, should soon be back together (and a bit cleaner), so we'll see how she goes then.
Apparently I don't have image posting rights, so I can't show her.
 
You need to subscribe. Costs 12 quid for a year. Well worth it. Then you'll be able to see more of the forum aswell as post pics, which we all want to see!
