Unitrack removal / strip-down?

Oh, I have the R100RT Mono (but have only had a R90S clone for a short
time before that) and it's seems about right (for me). New enough to
have reasonable bits but old enough not to have computers etc?

When I first discovered BM's I tried a K75RT and didn't like it at
all. In spite of being very similar to my R (and sharing many
components) it just felt like a weird Jap bike to me. If I was looking
for something to do a million miles on cheaply and reliably I might
have chosen it.

 

A mate was doing 200+ miles a day on one till he went for the GT. He
seemed to think it was pretty good bit of kit (especially for that
purpose).

 

That's what they're built for, but all I need for that sort of mileage
would be a better seat for the 1150RT. And yes, they all need one.

 

The 100's probably OK. I had a naked R80, fitted with an S cockpit
fairing and the extra clocks. Looked lovely.

Trouble was the fuel consumption. It was an effort to get more than
40mpg out of it. And the speedo was ludicrously inaccurate - I saw 130
on the clock once, and it was definitely not that bloody fast.

My old heavy-flywheel R100RS (1978 model) was the one to have: smooth,
reliable, decent fuel consumption....

 

I think they say the 80 is smoother and not much less powerful
(especially against the low compression 100's).

I think the looks are like Marmite. I don't 'like' the sticky out
cylinders but they are part of make it so recognizable.

That isn't good. I was getting 50's out of my 35k 100 even towing the
trailer (but was riding more gently then etc).

My GPS has shown up a load of inaccurate speedos. ;-)

That would have been the high(er) compression model wouldn't it? Also
dual-plugging seems to make quite a difference ... fuel economy or
performance, depending on how you wanna use em?

and I will do if and when Timo & Cab decide who is going to host the
sparkly new domain for the FAQ and put it on the server.
