Why So Many 1200's For Sale!

[oilcan]

When you look on Flea Bay at the moment there are sooo many 1200's for sale and hardly any 1150's or 1100's! Why is that? Are they really that bad?

 

[Mr K]

Lot's have been sold.

 

[Slowdown]

People bought lots of them after watching Ewan and Charley and now there's a credit crunch they can't afford a toy anymore

Because of the shit reliability

Mine's so crap I've kept it almost 5 years...so far...

Prices seem to have gone up considerably too. Some dreamers are asking in the 9's for 2006 GSAs.

me too, a year and a half and closing in on 26,000 miles of fun.....worst bike I've had.....

I still reckon it's a symptom of awesome sales and people are either moving to new bikes (which might well be the new GS because whilst sales are down slightly they are still going strong) or downtrading for financial reasons

[streaky]

Could it be that there is a lot more off them about, 21000 miles and no probs ,gettin better with more miles

I reckon it's the "Charlie McGregor & Ewan Boorman" effect.

LOADS of people have bought them, and then realised they are either too heavy/big/expensive etc.

Talking about the 1150 or the 1200

Me too!, i'll have had mine for 5 years soon.

 

[GSband]

Isn't it obvious ? More 1200's were sold, so more of them on second hand market.
