i loved my r100, when it ran.
marginal charging and starting systems spoil what is otherwise an absolutely fantastic bike.
at less than 4'000rpm it feels as british as a BSA twin, above it feels like a Jap bike.
Think of them as a bike thats 50% Brit and 50% Jap, the only problem is that my fingers have been burnt and i can't bring myself to chance £1500 on another. Shame really, since i'll stick with a Jap bike thats 100% reliable but 20% interesting.
