Having decided to take the heretical decision to trade-in my '57 GS Adventure, I had a good idea that a K1200S would give me what I was looking for.
Steve at NOG heard through another GS'er and so gave me a call when a midnight black '58 K1200S came in- high miles so my low mile GS meant only a few hundred to change.
I loved the bike, but it transpired the previous owner had been a little lax regarding the service history, and subsequently it couldn't be proved after I had taken ownership. NOG offered me some luggage and a free service, but I wasn't happy with a high miler without a full history.
Looking through the ads, I found another K1200S at Motorrad Central East in Scotland. Under 5,000 miles, with the addition of BMW Luggage, SatNav, Tankbag, ASC, and a centre stand over the one I had. It was up for nearly a grand more than mine, but I called Phil, and he endeavoured to do what he could, explaining the scottish dealer had no obligation to let them have it.
Well, Phil came up trumps and I now have a low mileage, fully laded K1200S with full history-previous owner is the new owner of BMW Motorrad Central East and West dealerships apparently.
And just to make sure I was happy, NOG are doing the 6,000 mile service for free as well!
Now I just need the rain to stop
