Description
Sweet little bike. Anyone can ride this bike, from 5ft to 6ft+, from 10 years to 90 years!
Taken this in as a swop from a pal who wanted my Mint BMW R1100S i had.
- details above
Has books, keys, FSH, new callipers recall done, handbook, long MOT. Needs nothing.
Has slim bars, excellent chirpy exhaust, which aids gas getting away more efficiently, and lets it sound like a proper classic single, not objectionable though.
I would personally put some of the round RE badges on the tank to match the one on engine, and/ or the knee pads, just to break all the white going on. Apart from that cannot fault the bike. Is like riding a new bicycle! Is so easy to ride, power delivery is super smooth, turning circle is proper job old school. Long time since i have been able to do a tootle turn in our little lane.
I would think, if wished, it would be really good on tracks/ off-road.
I am 6ft 2 and is really comfortable, my knees not bent at all, is very like my old DR800 Big for that..... but with a fraction of the weight. Is light on road, or moving in the garage.
Has nice mirrors, big all-under sump plate/ guard, and dinky indicators. Not an expert on these but think those are extra fitments.
Starts on the button, and cannot fault transmission and brakes and mechanicals etc. Whole package is very well executed. Have seen a few on the road, and think this one looks sweeter and simpler than the ones i have seen.
Come to Leominster station and ride home, or i can get pro delivered to yours for £120 in England and Wales.
If have a few nice classic bikes, and want a character but easy/ modern runabout, all year, bike, then this could fit the bill.
Putting on with low start and no reserve as confident this will sell for what i allowed on the swop! Will advertise elsewhere to help coverage.
Is only a 7 day auction as have a holl looming and want to make sure is away before 13th!...... hopefully my old Harley away as well..... i would do a 5 day, but that not on the cards apparently now......
Only bike i may fancy at the moment would be perhaps a Ducati Multistrada 1100S with Ohlins etc, to replace my 2003 Fazer..... is only thing that may replicate the total do-the-lot pack that that does......
