G'day,
I'll be looking at a BMW RS100 this pm, possibly buy.
Has 94000ks (about 56500 miles). 1982. Some wear in final drive,
'clunk' when taking off from standstilll. Fairly common I think?

Anybody had/own one of these? Anything I should look for in
particular? Any traps? Have had bikes before but this will be the
first BMW. Has Brembo brakes and ss exhaust. Tia for any comments.

Regards, Mac

I haven't had much to do with the Airhead beemers - I have a K100RS
(inline flat 4)
The Internet has lots of resources for them. There are also a lot of
places selling parts online. I have found www.siebenrock.de and
www.motobins.co.uk to be good. They are generally 30% cheaper than
here (New Zealand) and delivery is much the same as getting parts
through the official channels from BMW. One example - fork stanchion
(gen BMW) for my K - 179euro from Siebenrock, 440euro from BMW NZ and
would have to be ordered in - same part, both brand new. What is the
value in local support there with that markup?
