    hello allam (thinking seriously of) buying a 1996 r1100r with 54,000km for use when i visit family in singapore.never considered an r before because they were too tall/big for me. learnt that this model has 3-stage adjustable seat height, and the lowest at 760mm is a do-able. hence the interest.could anyone with a similar model advise what, in particular, i should look at for one this age and mileage? motorcycles in singapore cost 50% more; so any help re: insider knowledge will be appreciated.mean time, merry christmas and may 2013 be a good one.regards,Shah
