The k1100rs is one of the few bikes I’d buy again it wasn’t for ulez.
We had a k100rs and as you say night and day difference between that and the 1100 (although I believe the k750 was quite well regarded). Our old Ipswich office ordered a K1 as a surveillance bikes, the dealer rang up someone more high up to mention they’d ordered the most visible bmw in the world for a covert role and the order got squashed.

If I kept the KRS I'd want to ditch the mirrors and have a rear view camera with a display above the instruments. I don't know whether that would work. But, yes, they are an issue in traffic. I also had a K11LT and got the fork springs changed and a 4 way adjustable rear shock. A bit of a transformation. I had a K100LT long ago and really hated the engine, it was always tight and was horrible to rev. I got the R11GS when they came out and everyone thought they were a joke. Then got the 1150. GS world was nice and cosy until the twats on the telly ruined it. I wish KTM had said yes to them.
