- I'd like to find out what year made a single sided monoshock rear, hopefully find an R90 version to save on insurance.
- Wikipedia article on when the monolever came out:
- In early 1983, BMW introduced a 987 cc, in-line four-cylinder, water-cooled fuel injected engine to the European market, the K100. The K series comes with a simplified and distinctive rear suspension, a single-sided swingarm. (In 1985 the traditionally powered boxer R80RT touring bike received this monolever rear suspension system and in 1987 the R100RT received it).
- KTM's are like nympho strippers with a coke habit - huge fun to ride but no fun to take care of.
2011 Adventure Touring Shootout: mostly bigger bikes...
Farkles:

- Tuff Lites $70 by ExtremeDualSport, probably the tuffest and most durable, generally excellent reviews and looks like a good design, people mount them front and rear. at Rocky Mountain $70
- Tusk LED Flasher Relay, $15 at RockyMountain.
- Tusk LED MiniStalks, $25 at RockyMountain. Simple and affordable, would probably be fine but likely need to seal them up w/ silicone.
- Tusk Round LEDs, $20 could be an easy/cheap option, similar to the ETrailer units below for $7 tho... not sure how if/how much they differ other than the lens color.
