I'll tell you one thing, 
though, I am strongly considering picking up a new R1150RS just to be 
rid of the 5-speed tranny, and have that nice 6-speed unit. The 
"agricultural" aspect of the 5 speed really detracts from my riding 
enjoyment. I love the bike, but hate the tranny. 
Bob,  I'm sorry you are a member of the bad transmission group.  Mine is 
original and still shifts just fine (lucky!) though it clatters in neutral like 
all of them.  Sure, I'd like a six speed too but I'm going to wait for the 1200. 
 I don't want to wait 'til 2006...guess I'll have to rebuild the Ohlins after 
all!
