I am tempted by it bit it is too far away to go and check a bike out.

Too far away...I do more miles on a Sunday run out

I've bought my last 4 bikes "Sooth" and rode 'em home to Shetland! ZE2!!

If they are worth buying they are worth travelling for

My 11GS was £1800 in a village outside Chesterfield, eBay style, no prior viewing, nice informative chat with owner. I travelled down, picked it up, rode it to Cornwall and then back to ZE2 via Yorkshire again. Have a bit of adventure, just tell yer wife your off to the shops...

Some of the bike advertised on this site are really good looking deals and are usually blinged up to the eyeballs with stuff it would take a year and a large overdraft to get together, so have on fear and travel with cash!

Re: Yes but no buts... Years ago when selling in good old Autotrader the motto was 10 phone calls, 7 definate buyers "mate", 2 show up, 1 may buy...

If you dont mind me sticking my nose in that bike is a good price and immaculate. The only thing it is missing is luggage which is easily rectifiable through the site too at discount prices, sod ebay.

As for checking it out i am fairly certain that from the people i have met on this site so far what you see advertised is what you get............ i doubt he is going to have you over and if he does then you will be the exception to the rule as the seller has other known members vouching for the bike



Above post is meant to ally n00b fears of a conspiracy

Or ask Borderraider who happens to have panniers in the loft

Thanks for the vote of confidence

TBH if it doesnt sell I won't be disappointed....at least I can tell SWMBO I tried

I recently bought a 2001 black 1150 non servo ABS single spark with 9500 on the clock (still on the original tyres)...it was spotless and I paid £4700 (probably a little over the top but it was spotless and I soooo wanted it).

I live near Reading and bought the bike in Cumbria. Hired a van for £45 in Wokingham (BTC have no mielage limit)...got a mate to co drive went early and got it. Haven't regretted it, a day well spent and I just love the bike.

The one on the link looks fantastic. if it looks this good it WILL have been well looked after....go for it and if you need a co driver give me a shout.

Hi bought 1150gs with 27K on the clock in best colour made imo blue and white with loads of extras and paniers for £4200, so nice i went to devon to pick up!! go on they are worth it

 

[Dennis1971]

might take you up on that

Missed out on Borderraiders steed that was for sale but I am still on the look out for a good one.

I might well give you a shout if I need a co-driver to get one or need a lift and ride it back. If that is ok with you.
