Steve,
Nice choice !! looks very clean and unmolested. And it's AIRCOOLED.
The handling on your bike and the single sided swing arm R80ST were said to be the best handling beemers they built.

Loose the windshield,unless you really like it. i have a BMW bikini fairing for your bike ,contact me if interested hbkramer@aol.com

Also check out www.IBMWR.org for info if you're not there already. Tech stuff etc. Another site is www.airheads.org
Great group of strictly aircoled rider/wrenches across the country. recommend you join for the tech stuff alone.
Have the trans input splines been lubed recently? If not put it on your list for this winter,Or find a local tech session in your area after you join the Airheads,and you will have tons of help!
Have fun AFTER you take the rider course.
I will ps headed north in Pa (working of course) on my 96 R11R in a few hours.This puppy will have served up 80K Bulletproof miles for me by the time I get home tonight. !
Enjoy!

Probably repeating everyone else here, but go with the SV650. Monster 750'sa nd 800's are great, but they are rather pricey to buy and even more expensive to maintain.
