Hi All

Starting a new thread on this as I think I was a bit off on pricing and can't edit the original thread to reflect the new price.

I am selling my dads old R100 RT. He owned this for about 3 or 4 years before replacing it about a year ago. I bought it from him fully ready to embrace a "Classic Tourer" but it simply doesn't do it for me and I have only done a few hundred miles on it in the time I have had it. It needs to go to someone who is actually going to appreciate it and I am going to replace it with something a bit more modern.

Its showing 43K, had scarce history before my dad bought it but.....

He bought it on 30 something K and has kept meticulous service and repair records since then. He owns and rides several classic bikes and is an "old school bike engineer" so this really is in absolutely amazing mechanical condition.

In the last few years it has had loads done, servicing, carbs re-built, brakes rebuilt (the fronts work brilliantly which is rare for this type!), rear wheel bearings (and I think FD bearing?) super bright headlight and a full gearbox rebuild. Its had loads of other bits & pieces done and the receipts are all there

He regularly toured in the UK and Europe on this and it is reliable and rides brilliantly.

Cosmetically it is fine from 10ft, the paintwork has the knocks / bangs / scrapes you would expect from a well used 40yr old bike and has been touched up here and there.

I have tried to capture the bike honestly in the pics, if you want any more please call and I can take and send some.

I am looking to move it on easily and quickly so am open to sensible offers but I am not going to take a silly low-ball so please don't :)

I am on 07881 887207 if you would like any more details phone is better than email.

More pics available in the original thread HERE

So, I suspect I have still got this priced a bit too high (had a really useful chat with a forum member who explained air head prices are at a bit of a low at them moment)

On the basis I could now do with it gone I am open to offers over £2500. At that price surely this has to be an absolute steal?
