I've just acquired an early 2000 1150GS with 93k km on it. Swapped for a KTM 1190S Adventure and a large wedge of cash
The KTM had to go due to being self employed and not having any work at the moment It was a big chunk of toy to have sat around but I still wanted a bike...
I live in Germany and obviously this Covid thing has had a big effect on the bike market; basically nothing's moving and not helped by dealers selling bikes for less than private sales just to get some cash in Anyway, a few people came and looked at the KTM but all were waiting to sell their bike first, so I was flogging a dead horse...until a very nice chap called, came and looked at the bike in his huge logging truck and mentioned the usual 'I need to sell my bike first'. I had a look at his ad and it turned out to be this 1150, so I called him back and did a deal
Basically it's been garaged and only had summer use like most German bikes, but needed a few things tidying up. As I couldn't register it until Friday(Covid again) I decided to spend the week getting all the little jobs done, so sit back, grab a beer and follow the saga ...
