Craig,don't buy a ZTechnik if you worry about buying american.ZTechnik pipes are made by Arrow in Italy...
Why do you want to buy another R1100S?
I think the R1200S would have been a sales success if they'd offered the bags right from the beginning as also practical stuff as a K1200R-S type seat,rack and centerstand as options as also a slighlty higher windshield and bar risers and a gallon,gallon and half bigger tank...And not tried to appease the magazines which did not work out anyways by leaving all the useful and practical stuff off the options list just to prove the S being a "true" sportbike and not a sporttourer.
Then there would be no need anymore to lust over a R1100S...
