I would expect that the r1100s will be more expensive to run than the r80......so is this important to you?
i took a R80 down through the states in '81, worked well two up, Are you going to ship the bike back at the end of the trip? or try to sell it? I would reckon that the R80 could be sold easier, and maybe if it not worth so much it could be cheaper to dump at the end of the trip? Charles

hi
we have desided to take the 1100, the r80 needed a lot of work just to get it MOTed never mind for a years trip.i also think the extra speed may be usefull at some piont. the other thing is that nether me or nick are light waights so a large sized bike is needed.i have started the design of the panniers and racks, am drilling the top yolks to fit solid handle bars insted of rubber mounted ones.
