I have decided that having moved house, I cannot justify keeping both of my bikes - so the R1150GSA is going (and the R1200GSA is staying; I may replace the 1150 with a smaller bike at some point - (any suggestions given that I am 6'6"?).

The 1150GSA is "well used" - ridden in all weathers and I am not a fan of cleaning bikes - so plenty of corrosion. The MoT expires/expired on 20th October and the bike will be SORNed from this date as I do not intend to renew the MoT (front brake drags a little - probably needs the pistons on the front left caliper cleaned, but I have no real inclination to do it as I cannot see myself using the bike much). A tad over 72k miles.

This would be an ideal winter project, or get it through the MoT and a fine winter ride.

The bike was (I think) a Cat. D insurance in about 2006 - which would explain the unusual tank colour combination.

The bike has an almost new rear tyre and a good front tyre, a Givi top box rack and Touratech pannier frames and ally panniers. There is a Ram mount fitted around the speedo and a mount for a Garmin Zumo satnav.
My last run on the bike was the weekend of 3rd/4th October, 220 miles on A and B roads with no problems.

Unless the bike is collected by 20th October, you will need a van or trailer to take it away as MoT expires then.

Asking price is £1215 (£1 per cc of engine capacity and HP - 1130 + 85). Bike is located in Hay on Wye (about 20 miles from Hereford)

Seems like a cheap starting point for a full resto as all the bits are all there just waiting for a full nut and bolt tear down.

Literally begging for someone to breath another twenty years of life into her.
GLWS 👍

I also have two spare wheels that came with the bike when I bought it in 2013 - been hung up in the garage ever since.
 
Well worth it and either ride it or tidy .. you have the added bonus of the screen that makes a GS an all year GS/RT...👌
