Seen this for sale and wondered if it belonged to anyone on here. Was hoping to maybe get some of it's history before I pull the trigger.
SJ14 WWT - Blue 2014 GS Adventure LC TE
- Thread starter stephen.stallebrass
- Start date
It's a Glasgow registration mark, so it would have been first supplied by Douglas Park Motorrad in East Kilbride, if that helps.

That might explain the 29k miles in 18 months... who wouldn't want to ride and ride and ride around the beautiful* Scotland; planning to do the Scottish 500 myself, just wonder whether it will be on this or my GTR1400. Would rather take the GSA to be honest so I can get off road and wild camp!
*beautiful in the scenic and political sense.

Hmmm, hope it's cheap or I reckon residuals will go thru the floor with another 10k on it.
I believe it's Nuttys.He's quietly taking delivery of a 2016 spec KTM 1290 SA at the weekend. But sshhhh !!!

I'm sure the mileage ain't a problem but this time of year might be other bargains to be had soon. brand new discounted on the 2.9 percent finance may be better option in long term. Plus do you want everyone thinking you're Scottish? haha!
Impressive and will be nicely run in. £11k sounds about right for TE spec with a years warranty.
Must be the only blue one that wasn't a cancelled order.
Mine is blue by the way.

I thought that weren't too bad a price... not scared of the higher miles like most especially with good condition, service history and warranty (obviously prefer less miles).
That price is considerably less than a dealer has just allowed me as PX on my 14 plate GSA TE albeit with 20K less miles but when i say considerable I mean considerable
I wondered why he was putting a GSA top box on the XR, explains it all
The secret's out!

There is one at cooper Sunderland a GSA TE with 15k miles for £500 more. I know which I would buy. No not the XR.

Thanks for the tip off!
Hi, was in Punta Arenas in Chile in February this year and took a photo of 3 GSs that were from the UK. The bike you mention was one of them (cant work out how t upload a photo yet!). The three bikes had been shipped down and were off on a 24000 epic ride to Alaska! The panniers were marked as being sponsored/supported by Douglas Park Motorrad so I suspect they can give you all the info you would want. Regards, Paul
Well that certainly puts a new spin on fully documented history.

I clicked through on both of those links and it looks like those guys had one hell of an Adventure!
Ah - got it. I was working in Park's when he bought that. He was on one of their ride-outs I was on last year. He was quite a careful rider so I don't suspect it's been thrashed within an inch of its life.
