Going to look at a ( P reg ) 1100 gs sometime this week
34000 m anything to look out for.
are these the ones with the plastic tank's should i be worried.

The only thing im worried about is the p**s taking i might get
i am quite twisted i like the colour.
it's not hard to guess what colour it is.

Hmm in deed the best colour (kal)...

It won't be a plastic tank as its not old enough. Shame really as I get 250miles to a tank full. What to look out for....


Not a lot is the simple answer start her up and see how much noise it makes. Try not to worry about it too much... See how much play there is in the back wheel whilst its on the centre stand. Ask if the brakes have been bled. Take someone with you who has a GS to listen to it and stop you making an impulse buy...

Enjoy...

Look at the owner (unless its a dealer!), has he had it a long time, is he knowledgable and looks like he looks after a bike.
Is he a member of this forum?
If not, why not?
If yes, then clearly he's a t*sser and walk away

Well been and had a look not in bad conditon for a P reg.
all the bit's and bobs work. bit of a (heath Robinson) immobiliser on it. O yes they are f*****g heavy.
have to try and get the part ex price abit better for me XR though

so have to wait and see could / possibly / definetly be a fully converted gs'r waiting in the wings.
with his sponser money.

god three years iv'e been wanting one of these now im so close i can almost smell it. well i did an hour ago.
