Re: Price check please
Reference point for you: Bought a 2004 r1150r w/abs with 5,200 miles, system cases, givi top case, full windshield and flawless condition for $5900. It was an Ebay auction and I believe I got a great deal.

Re: 6,000 mile service advice
Thank you guys. I'm going to research the site to educate myself on all the tips/tricks and then take my brother's friend up on his offer. Hopefully with this approach I'll be savy enough to know if the guy really understands the bike or if he is just claiming to have expertise. Thank you again for ...

Re: Luggage-Givi-top case
I just purchased a 2004 r1150r with ABS. It had a Givi Monokey V46 installed when I bought it. I haven't had a lot of time with the case, but what little time I have, I really like it. Store my helmet and gloves in it and use it to haul heavy items when I'm concerned with side loading the bike in th...

Re: Rules of thumb for estimating ft/lbs of force?
I bought the click type torque wrench at Lowes----Kobalt. After reading many torque wrench comments I was concerned with accuracy. My brother is an aircraft mechanic at FedEx and he took my wrench in immediately after I purchased it to have it certified. It was dead accurate on all tests they perfor...

Hey everyone, I've been on the site hard for a few days researching all the posts prior to purchasing a 2004 R1150R today. This bike has a little over 5,000 miles & ABS. I'm a little overwhelmed with all the information available on this site! Kudos to everyone for such a great community. As I a...
