I have been looking, and only looking, at some of the older BMW's, online to be exact so I havnt really talked to a salesman.I will never sell my america but I am getting older and thinking about a smooth comfortable touring bike.I dont tour that much but the Triumph is a little, just a little too tiring for me on long trips. By long trips I mean 5 to 6 hours. Like I said, I am getting older, but I think my wife would also prefer a smoother ride..I prefer the older model BMWS because of the styling and price and I am not looking to buy new. Since I dont do that much long distance riding it would also be more of a part of my collection.I know nothing about the biger bikes only that the honda goldwing, which I have riden back in the day,and the BMWS are known to be the better of the road bikes. Am I wrong? The Gold Wing was ultra smooth and had great accelation but but like riding a cadillac on 2 wheels, Great on the open road but heavy and cumbursom on smaller roads. I am sure they have improved a bit since the early to mid 80s.I might be wrong it may have been towards the late 80s, its all a blur.I know a little bit about the hondas and nothing about the BMWS. Anyway, one of the questions I have is, on the older BMWS what are the ccs , or engine sizes of theBMWS when the model is an r50 or r100 and should I avoid any particular model? Do you guys know?
