Neat looking R1150R.....I like the front headlight arrangement and the rear tail light work. I have not done any modifications to you Silver '04 Roadster yet but would probably try something like the front and rear mods in the pictures on the website.

Geoff, I plan to replace the plugs this weekend and will inspect the caps in the process.....thanks for the tip.

Thanks Capt B.......I'll check it out tonight.

My '04 R1150R seems to have developed an inconsistant idle and a hesitation/miss when getting on the gas in 3rd gear and higher. I did a valve adj and throttle synch recently using a twin-max, but still have the inconsistant idle. The bike idles fine when cold, but once warmed up it will idle at 110...

Taipan, My 2004 Roadster just started doing the same thing and I wondered if you figured out what was causing the problem. It is very noticeable in 3rd and 4th gear under hard acceleration. My bike has 18,000 miles on the clock and I have not changed my spark plugs yet. Additionally, I accidently pu...

Kevin, Rode the 98 1100 today and had a blast. IMHO it handles better than the 1150 and the gearing is perfect for back road or highway work. At 60 MPH in 4th the 1100 turns 3800-4000 RPM; in 5th gear the engine is turning 3000-3200 RPM. Can't remember what rpm it turned at 70 MPH in 5th, however, t...

You might ask others about a Parabellum Scout Fairing for the R1150R. I know someone who has this fairing on a R1100R and loves it. I believe one or two members of this site have put them on their R1150R. They are advertised in the BMW MOA and BMW RA mags and have a website at http://www.parabellum....

I have both models sitting in my garage (98 & 04) and concur with all that has already been said....buy the newest one you can afford. However, I do find the R1100R's engine to be smoother and the handling better, and I also feel that I 'sit in' the R1100R and 'sit on' the R1150R. Either one wou...

Had a 4 cyl Kaw Concours and you synch'd the two left carbs first, the two right carbs next and than the two middle carbs to synch both sets (the carb to the #3 cyl was the base carb according to Kaw). I would assume that on the ST you would synch both throttle bodies on one side of the V, than sync...
