just a bit yeah , he is a contract manager and its his only mode of transport

this bikes been also ragged senceless to and around morroco etc as well, had the shit kicked out of it on a few diesel spills down the years as well , but just keeps getting better

 

[Big Red]

Good man, I've only got to put 91.000 miles on in the next three years and I will equal it!

 

[BlueBird]

YEAH YEAH

05 are the best model year for durability I reckon

Can you get some pics of it so we can see how its bearing up?

 

[Big Lee]

Pics would be good It would be interesting to know what maintenance / parts replaced it`s had over that time, not consumables though!

Just another 75k for me

 

[(RIP) ugg]

[Big Lee]

[team duvet]

[somclan]

good news indeed

its nice to know they can make it to 100 k mark...

 

[patboy]

Well I have 41000 on my 05 1200, so I hope it will get to 100,000, without much grief

 

[chad]

the bike look really well tbh just the usual grot on the timing cover, he looks after his bikes even if he rides the wheels off them

oh and it has a full BMW service history

i'll see if he can send some pics over

 

[Mr K]

Cool!

 

[(RIP) Miff]

What oil does he use???

 

[Borderraider]

BSogri nearly there with his '05

98000 now after moto-piston and pyrenese,
touch wood running great and still hasn,t used any oil.
crossed fingers, touch wood;;;;;;;;;

Picture taken at start of trip

 

[lkyphl]

I'm up to 91k (kms) and the bike just continues to run better. Nothing has broken or fallen off (that's done it ...), just oil and filter changes, and rear drive changes every 40k kms; interestingly, the 40k change showed quite dirty oil, but the 80k change looked brand new.
It hasn't used a drop of oil in that time, which I put down to running it in a lot harder than my 1150. Great bike !
