Preferably a low mileage twin-cam.
Would consider older bikes if low mileage, high spec, 1 or 2 owners only.
Happy to travel to collect

Can't wait to get back on an RT :beerjug:
 
Taken a deposit; pending payment tomorrow.
Lost a bloody fortune :tears

But hey-ho.... RT time :clap

Cash waiting chaps.
 
good luck with it Stan, when you get it drop by and gi'us a look.

An acquaintance of mine is selling a stunning 2006 RT with just over 7,000 miles on. It's absolutely mint & has been pampered like nothing else. Any good to you, potentially?
 
After something newer really...

.... And I think I might have found "The One" :)

Hi Stan, I have the RT that Tim was referring to. You did say originally that you "Would consider older bikes if low mileage, high spec, 1 or 2 owners only." and my bike fits that bill perfectly.

Details and pictures can be found at :

2006 '56' RT SE

If you've already found "The One" then great, but there's none in better condition and with as many extras as mine. The price is negotiable and a lot less than a dealer.
 
Hi Jaycee,
I really wanted a twin-cam. Having ridden a TC quite a bit, plus owning a 2005 RT for a year (and putting 20,000+ miles on it), I was really smitten with the newer bike. That's not to say that the older bike wasn't a good bike........ it was a great bike!!
I didn't really want to go back to a servo-brake model. The whining and potential cost of unit failure puts me off them a bit. Good luck with your sale though- not many 06's with such lower miles on them.


Anyhows :bounce1
Just ridden my new purchase home.
SE + Dynamic, 6 months old, <200 miles.
First time it's seen rain too! It will have to get accustomed to rubbish weather...... it's going to get used!!

Very pleased. Just need to finish running it in, get some proper tyres on it and get some miles in :thumby:

So pleased to be back on an RT.
 
Jaycee,
Just had a look at your bike advert.
I think you'll need to drop the price significantly to sell it. I speak from experience of buying/selling 4 boxers in the last year or so. People aren't getting those prices; bikes have been for sale for ages.
The ultra-low mileage may actually put some people off. 2010 SE TCs have changed hands for only £1k more than you're asking :nenau

I got £5,500 for my high spec 05 RT. It had all the goodies/luggage, etc. (No radio though). Admittedly it had 20,000 miles extra on it, but it also had a really comprehensive BMWSH.

Try selling a 2011 R1200R Classic...... my eyes are still watering from that one !!
 
SMcGirr - I'll try and post some piccies, but there are a few at the link I posted above. My original 2007 UKGSer membership was deleted and now that I've re-registered there doesn't appear to be an albums & pictures facility in the user profile.

Stanley - Well done on the new purchase. As I said above, the price I've put on my bike is fully negotiable so I'm completely open to offers. I arrived at that price by scanning the classifieds, private and dealer bikes, with ages ranging from late 2005 to early 2007. The most expensive I came across was a June 2006 non-SE with 15,700 miles on the clock at Padgett's in Batley for £8,999, the cheapest was an April 2006 non-SE with 40,500 miles on the clock at F Cross & Sons in Donny for £5,495.

A 12-bike average for 2006 models (mostly non-SE) came out at £7,222 and 23,400 miles and that's how I derived the price for mine. On another thread Nevil280659 was looking at a 2005 14,500-mile private bike for around £6k, so a bit more would secure my newer bike with less miles and loads of extras.

In regard to your comment about ultra-low mileage possibly putting people off, there's not a lot I can do about that obviously.
