I loved my red/black '78 R100S until it wore out. Even with a complete suspension & bearing rebuild it would start weaving over 60 mph. I couldn't get the tires it liked anymore & it seemed it hated every one I tried on it to replace them. Once I started riding my daughter I realized it was time for an upgrade. I ended up with a '99 R1100RS & never looked back. I discovered radial tires & was totally amazed how well they worked. My original want was for an R1100S but it was just too much at the time so I settled for the RS, not in the same league though. I found the one I got now a couple years later & snapped it up. Still got it & it still rips & handles great.
Any who that's a killer find, at only 5k miles it should run and handle fine, mine had 135k on it when I traded it off & was most definitely worn out handling wise. The motor had never been opened & still ran fine. Oh yeah, I always hated those brakes, spent innumerable hours trying to get them adjusted so they stopped & didn't rub.
