R65 vs R80 vs R100
I'd like to have you BMW experts opinion on this: Is it better to go for the R65GS instead of the R80GS or the R100GS when it comes to longevity for the engine? The rationale goes like this: With less hp output (but with acceptable torque still) than the engine actually is capable of, and smaller pistons to move, the engine on the R65 will run with less vibration and perhaps be able to last longer than both the R80 and the R100? I'll be riding solo, occasionly with one of my kids riding pillion, no serious off-roading. Kind of like Iceland.
I was considering the R100, but stumbled over an R65 which was for sale for practically next to nothing. So - what do you think?
