RT Russ Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Anyone in Chattanooga? FleaBay has a listing for a '99 R1100S for $3495 buy it now. Only 3 days left. Anyone have time to go check this beast out? Seems to good to be true...... Linky Hawk Link to comment
Roadwolf Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 While I can't check this out... go to Pandora's site... they list it there as well, so seems legit... from the photos the bike doesn't appear to be in the most pristine condition, maybe that explains the low price? Good luck all the same. Link to comment
RT Russ Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Thans, love your avatar. Not familiar w/Pandora other than music but I'll take a look there. Thought I saw oil on right side valve cover area but eBay pictures were not good. Thanks again. Hawk Link to comment

tallman Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 A lot of rust showing. I wonder what caused that? Immersion, storage, lack of care? Many fittings are rusted in the photos. Link to comment
biometrics Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I saw the rust on the brake disc fittings and a couple of socket head bolts... but not much else. It really doesn't look all THAT bad. Looks like the kind of rust you get when you wash a bike and leave it wet, except for the plastic body parts that get wiped down... like a lot of small dealerships do... Link to comment
hopz Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 The price is pretty much on the market for an "S" Good luck. Great bike. I loved mine. Link to comment
tallman Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Bio, I've seen thousands of beemers at dealerships. IMO, that isn't what I saw. .02 YMMV If you cab see those areas, what about other spots? Link to comment
hANNAbONE Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 ...lOOKS aS though it spent its life outside. Not sure I'd run at it. YMMV Link to comment
Foot Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I will be at Pandora's tomorrow what do you you want me to look at? Link to comment
RT Russ Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Please give an opinion on overall condition, mechanical condition, is the rust "that bad" or just surface corrosion? Sound smooth? Ask about history, spline lube? Test ride if you can..... Many Thanks...... Link to comment
Foot Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Will Do! Here is Pandoras news letter I get at the bottom is a small description of the bike. Linky Link to comment
hopz Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Second look reveals... way high miles for the price. If you really want an S you need to look elsewhere. Search Pelican Parts Forum for the sub-forum on the S model. Link to comment
RT Russ Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Bob, I thought the price is as low as I've seen. Highest miles I've seen on an S but it's the rust that concerns me most. I should have bought yourz but someone got to it before me. Link to comment
RT Russ Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks Matt, if you get to lay hands on it, let me know. Curious about hard bags as well....... Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks Matt, if you get to lay hands on it, let me know. Curious about hard bags as well....... Foot's name is actually Alan. His sig refers to a Matte Gray GS. Link to comment
Foot Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 RT Russ I sent you a PM, Glenn thanks for the Matte catch! Alan Link to comment
Glenn Reed Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Alan, No problem. Hope to see you again at RCR or somesuch this year. You did a great job explaining about RideSmart when we were eating dinner last year, and I am very much looking forward to attending in a couple of months. Oh, and thanks for looking at the bike today for RT Russ, that's another thing I really like about this community. Link to comment
Foot Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Glenn. Glad to hear you are taking the riding smart class.. Shawn is a great instructor, you should have fun with the class. Alan Link to comment
motomaj Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm new on this site and so far I haven't found the specifics on the 99 r1100S. is this where I can find the specs? what type of oil? I've been using Rotella so far. IVw only had the bike a short time. It has a Remus exhaust, a Russel seat, risers and heated grips. it is in pristine condition...yellow in color. oh yeah new Michelins. I was so excited about it i didn't even check the brakes the fluids, and all those things I was supposed to do. the seller was a 60 plus year old ..we talked about the bike and the condition he kept it so I bought it for 5k. It's worth it to me so what ever the "going" price is is what I paid. Ok where do I get other opinions about this fine machine? Link to comment
