Welcome to the club! Sooner or later  you have to have one.

That’s a very nice example you’ve got there.

Here is mine, series one. My actual running resto project.

Beautiful bike!   You’ll have lot of fun with it.

Several years ago I restored a 78 model R100S.  When it came time for paint I decided I wanted the two tone fade if the R90S.  It was a toss up between the Daytona Orange like yours or the Silver Smoke. I ended up with the Silver Smoke.

I had a red fade R 100 RT. An 80 or 81..
 That bike bad maybe the firmest  thinist seat of any bike I owned, but could easily do more miles a day than the others..
