Notes:

UMG Says (R850, R1100): Naked, new tech Boxer with bulbous styling, excessive mass and advanced Telelever suspension. Width of the engine limits town madness but sophisticated suspension at both ends allow most bumps to be absorbed without the usual BMW ducking and diving. 1100R has major benefit of excess of torque, 850R cheaper. A significant advance over recent R100’s but more attention’s needed to weight saving, though it doesn’t show up too much once under way, thanks to the modern chassis.

MBG Says (R1100): (7.5/10) The simplicity of the R1100R is more than anything else visual, since once on board - and even if it's a bottom-of-the-range R model - it delivers the same gemeral effectiveness and practically the same riding pleasure as its more expensive sisters in the R family. Still, as it the case with the F650, the amount spent on this basic model could allow you to consider an enormous number of options. If it's absolutely a BMW you much have, then go ahead without a problem. But if not, take a little time to shop. You might be surprised what you can buy for the same amount of money.

IGM Says (R1100) (Best first bike): This is the only big Beemer light enough to really be manageable for a new rider. With a windshield and some hard luggage, this one makes an excellent touring bike.
