Switch gear is highly intuitive and very easy to use. Have a 2004 R1150R, which is my 15th BMW,14th Boxer,and 12th Oilhead. all good for some 500K miles...Ride to Camp, Camp to Ride...
I have a 2000 R1100R, I added a Tuner, got a good exhaust eliminating the cat converter and she's a joy to ride now. The front suspension set up stops front end dive when you use the front brake. It takes a bit of getting used to. It has enough brakes in front to stop an 18 wheeler. Two discs and 8 pistons worth of stopping. All in all a very nice bike to own.
R1100R is a better bike than the 1150. 1) the extra 50 cc not needed. 2) no transmission spline problem 3) no hydraulic clutch to leak 4) adjustable seat 5) nicer handlebars
BMW absolutely hit the sweet spot with this model, will be an iconic classic. Really, it's a lower riding and lighter GS without the silly price....even has the same higher bhp 1150 engine as the GS.

The 2002 BMW R1150R is what I ride and it is a great bike. I have not found a better bike and I have checked out all the new models every year.
My regular ride is a R1150 GSA Adventure. I had one of these as a loaner bike while my GD was being serviced. Loved it!
Love my 04 R1150R. Fantastic bike and not very difficult to service.

I have a r1100r. Love it. The ride and turn are so easily handle. I won't regret buying this bike.

A proper classy BMW. You just have to love it. Those who don't are simply not in the game. :)

Very very true ! See ; czcams.com/video/Jx3e0gqzylY/video.html
Stop complaining about the switches, they are so easy in use! Better then THE small switches!!
I love my R1150R which is yellow in color which isn't mentioned as a color option in the video.
ha, love the zip ties holding the axle boot on! German engineering! lol
Stop insulting people for no reason
new ones don't even have the zip ties, they let the bloody dirt in now!! BMW, big money wasted.

Nah just an English summer's day!
I found a 03 R1150 w/11k miles for 3.700 US at a local dealer Is that a good buy?
If a watertight service history is included, then yes.
The current boxer roadsters dispensed with the telelever front and im not sure why.
$$ ?
It was solution looking for a problem
