R1100GS

[fcasado]

I have a very nice black R1150GS, well tidy. 2000, X-Reg, I can't let it go for less than £4800. 25000km approx 17k miles. I bought it for a Morocco trip, but have now decided to do Morocco on my R1150GS Adv so its surpluss to requirements.

The missus says

Have up to £4K mate...Thanks anyway!

Fernando,

I started on an 1100 - up and down to Lahhhdahhhn most days and it was superb. The colour was a bit of an acquired taste though - sort of monkey-sick yellow. Dead reliable.

Had a brief fling with a K1200RS before coming back to an 1150. Easier on the motorway with 5th, just as easy to work on and service. Just as comfortable.

I really wouldn't worry which one you get - buy on condition. Either way - blinding good bike. Glad I decided to hang onto mine. If I sell one of my two it'll be the Pan before the GS now.

That's music to my ears!!!

The plan is:

Buy the bike and go around Europe for 4 months, so we budget £4K for the bike, and that will allow us to do the 4 months, otherwise wont be that long on the road!!!And then we have to go back to Brasil (in November), and God knows when we'll make it to come back...

Cheers
Fernando

Very different indeed than my old Suzuki DR650RE, but whole lot better in general (not the gear box though )
