My BMW R1100RT

My R1100RT BMW 2001 ex-Custom (Douane). Quite fun to ride.
By the way I definitely recommend JGueret's "Bringing a 2004 R1150RT home" video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLPQbBteo8k&hl=fr

Hi hathganus,

This is some kind of dark blue, 100% specific to our custom police, here in France. I bet you like your 96 R1100RT, this is an awesome bike!

Thanks for your comment!

Hi mate is this an ex police unit? I have one of these got just on 90,000 miles on the clock still turns heads after a polish ,,the finish is very good on these as mine is a '96 . The handling on these is very good but takes a while to get used to if you change your mind half way around a bend for example it does not like it at all if you attack with a bit of comitment it goes round the curvey stuff very well. Stay safe John music! heard a lot worse.

Hi flockofseagulls1001,

We actually have 3 kinds of police in France : 1/ regular police in towns, 2/ army police out of the cities and on highways 3/ custom police everywhere to unsure drug controls and anything else that could represent financial danger for the homeland stability.

All 3 polices use to have that R1100RT, on different colors (white, light blue and dark blue). This bike is an ex Custom.

I agree, it takes time to get adjusted with the position.

Thanks for your comment!

Wow, I love it ! Very beautiful blue color and very clean. Yes, very fun, very sporty, and very comfortable! These bikes are wonderful multi purpose bikes! Congratulations!

I know these bikes inside and out, if you have any mechanical questions? Enjoy

I like the seat/topcase combo....I don't like the crash bars.
