Hi, I am looking to pick up a cheap 1100GS after reading an article in MSL entitled "Pick up a BMW GS for under a grand".
Whilst the title is a tad misleading, it did pique my interest.
I am looking for a large adventure bike that I can use to introduce me to the world of greenlaning and offroading in the UK.
I have no preferences as to whether the bike is carbed or EFi, all I want is something mechanically sound that I can possibly bob over the winter. I won't do more than a couple of thousand miles per annum on the bike.
I am looking to spend up to £1500 (tight budgets keep it interesting).
///
What issues should I look for in a bike of that age?
I have done a search in this sub-forum, but the information is a bit sketchy.
