Anyone had experience with BMW R850R?

Question:
I have bee hunting for BMW r850R. BMW brought it here (US) only in 1996 and 1997. I have never ridden it but once was told it is very smooth (being a smaller flat engine) and almost as powerful as 1100. If any of you had experience with it verses r1100r or 1150r.

Answers:
I had a BMW R60/7 for about 12 years. That thing is bullet proof, easy to ride, and never left me anywhere. (I did limp home on 1 cyl once)

I loved it, but wished it had more power.

I don't think that will be a problem with the R850R, I've heard that is a great bike. I suppose it would be lighter and easier to handle than the 1100, but I don't really think it would make that big of a difference.

I've got a Moto Guzzi EV1100 now, and it rides great.
