Looks like an awesome deal. Why only 6k miles in about 8 years? As sacrilegious as that may be, makes for a good 2nd hand buy I reckon. Shame I'm still paying for mine!

Sounds very cheap ! One question you brought it with 6k took it to Spain and rode it locally and rode it back home to the UK and it still has 6k !

He doesn't say it has 6k on it now, it had 6k on it when he bought it.

What millage is it now?

If its as good as it sounds, it could be a very good buy, 2005, it might even have the float fuel sender in the tank

Unless i need glasses it states low mileage 6k.

Any update? You tempted?

 

[casper]

I sent a PM expressing my interest. If it is in the condition that you would expect with that mileage then I am ready to do a deal.
Just waiting on some pics.
Incidentally its the enthusiasm of the posts in here regarding the 1200RT and the reports of 60 mpg possible that have won me over.
Anything I should be aware of on that year?
Would the final drive oil have ever been changed as part of servicing?
Cheers.

You will notice the weather protection the most - I did a 250 mile run at minus 4 and the only thing that felt cold were my feet (because I was stupid and only put 1 thin pair of socks on). I was wearing summer gloves too!
My only experience of ownership is a 2012 so can't comment on long term problems, servicing etc - sorry. I think you will like it a lot. I manage 40mpg, but then I leave mine in sport mode for my commute and ride it like a hooligan

 

[Ex-Call Centre Chimp]

Don't expect 60 MPG.

In my experience you'll probably get nearer low-mid 50's.

My 2005 was the least reliable bike I've ever owned, fuel pump thingy packed up, ABS servo went, ESA died.
But don't let that put you off, I reckon I was just unlucky.

The fact that I kept it for 4 years and went and bought another, despite all the problems, will give you a hint as to just how brilliant I think they are.

Might be changing mine in 18 months and, unless Honda release an all new Pan, really don't imagine anything else will come close.

If you can afford it, buy it, enjoy it and get used to having an aching face from all of the smiles.

Just about to head out on my 'Touring bike' now.

Not heading to France or Spain or Russia, even though 'that's what they're built for'. Just going for a spin around the Lincolnshire Wolds. Why? Because the bike's a joy to ride.

Good luck.....

You'll be in time for the LC version - I personally think that will be a pleasure to behold! Imagine the RT with a bit more engine!!

Good post, that Tim. On the contrary my 05' RT was very reliable (aside from the ring antenna fault). Such a great bike. As I recall I managed high 50's MPG wise.

I'm seriously thinking the RT is where this new engine will be at
