I've realised that my BMW riding days are now over, although I'm still in my late youth (72) and despite extolling the virtues of the cannabis based stuff that I am using, with abuse the old arthriticals kicked in big time and after a rather painful 100 mile run yesterday I feel that I must face facts that it is too big and heavy for this daft owd sod.

Well then :- it's Pacific Blue, 36,000 miles, several previous owners and me. Colour coded BM panniers with inner bags and black BM top box, GIVI tank bag and harness (new) handlebar raiser/adjusters, MRA screen (original too), straight through exhaust system (original catholic converter system too) 10 months MoT, advisory on rear tyre, brand new set included. To be honest it does show its age in places, probably not unusual. Mechanically it's superb, the speedo read 143 on the local bypass yesterday and I am a former C&G qualified motorcycle engineer, so everything is Kosher. I'd love £2200 for it and for that I'd include the Garmin Zumo sat-nag and a camera not yet tried or fitted plus an almost new all seasons xxl jacket. I've done 3 trips to France on it and not a beat was missed. This is truly the most comfortable bike that I have ever owned and I have had bikes without a break since the very early 60s, but when it hurts getting it off its side stand I have to be sensible---------so it's for sale

£2,200

Might consider something a little lighter in part ex
 
Well worth what you are asking for it and I’d have it, if I weren’t in a similar situation and considering selling my 1200GS.
I had the RT version and Liz and I did 17000miles touring around Europe. One of the best bikes I’ve ever had. I’m sure it’ll go and equally sure you’ll miss it.
 
Brilliant bikes! GLWS.

That's NOT a local bypass...

Oh dear :whistle:


JJ :cool:
No, but the Whalley Bridge / Chapel en le Frith bypass is. You ride gently down one side and check, then at the end you go round the roundabout and back up the other side at a rate of knots secure in the knowledge that your licence is safe.

I am afraid I don't understand what your point is...

It's a 6 speed 2002 model with linked braking and electronic servo, registered 2001, but as to when it was made, sorry I dunno

Wimp !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had an 137 bhp ex Bandit Cup 1200 Bandit that I clocked 178 at Snetterton on a Suzuki club track day
I got 157 out my 1200 bandit on the a92 between kirkcaldy and dunfermline.

Book said the maximum speed was 139 so I was rather pleased

Probably the best set up bike that I have ever owned. Even with simple tweeks the basic B12 was a 140+ bike, but with Gixxer cams, timing cam advancer, 2 brothers custom twin exhaust, re-jetted carbs and all the p.c. stuff junked, a throttle wheelie was possible in 3rd---------I just loved that bike, but I loved my licence rather more. To the best of my knowledge, it's still on the clubman circuit
