Just picked up this K1200RS from Wales at the weekend. AFAIK the 18,000 miles on the clock is genuine; the story goes that the first owner bought it from Park Lane, rode it very occasionally for 9 years then left it in his garage with no MOT, eventually selling in 2018 with 15,000 miles. Then 3,000 miles between 2018 and 2024, it seems correct looking at the MOT history.
Pretty clean bike, came with new tyres and YSS shocks. I've already fitted the "comfort" bar mounts which I've had in my garage for years. Just giving it a detailed check over during the next couple of weeks.
Looks like it's had a mod to the wiring loom for the starter relay at some time, with a new heavy red wire from the battery to the relay. I've seen reference to this as a dealer mod due to issues with the starter relay & contacts welding. Anyone come across this ? I know the later ones had a different starter relay (blue casing) ?
