Looking at this R12 G/S - thoughts?

[TruffleShuffle]

Hi all, first time posting here. I’m looking at getting an R12 G/S. Spotted this one at Big Moto. I know nothing about the dealer but the reviews seem good, but I’ve asked about the bike and they don’t seem to be able to tell me an awful lot (other than that it has no aftermarket accessories, which it clearly does).

I’d love to know what options it has - it seems to have the comfort package? Maybe the Rallye seat?

If you can help I’d really appreciate it. It looks like a decent bike at a good price with a decent spec, but I’d love to know the thoughts of the experts on here before pursuing it.

Thanks in advance.
Nick

Well the comfort package is not an aftermarket accessory

Yes, I’ve looked at the list of factory options and it appears that this bike has that one.

2,379 miles and 3 owners?

2,379 miles and 3 owners?

Possibly 3 owners in 13 months and nearly 4 months on the sidelines too given it is showing untaxed? since 20 July? Think I would give it a miss myself.

Thanks for the info, the number of owners did make me wonder. I’m thinking a call to BMW might clear things up? Perhaps the first two owners were if it was a demo dealer bike? It’s had all the BMW services from the dealer.
