1100RS v 1100 EX riding position
#2
(08-11-2025, 01:46 AM)Hairymonster Wrote: Hi All,

Newbie here, currently running a '79 Goldwing. Looking to change to something a bit more up to date.

I love the looks of the 1100RS, though feel the 1100EX riding position - more upright - would suit my arthritic bones better.

Is the only difference the flatter bars on the RS? Could I therefore use bar risers or fit 1100EX bars to remedy this?

Thanks in advance

Welcome. There are also differences in the suspension. The RS is a sportier ride. The EX is more relaxed. I own an EX and find it to be a perfect ride for a mature rider. Here is a nice summary with more details. David

The most sophisticated, smooth, perfectly engineered motorcycle I've ever owned. A pleasure in every way.
