Description

Very rare in this condition especially with the low mileage and it being a one owner bike. BMW K1200RS ABS Model.

Supplied new from Pidcock Motorcycles on the 6th August 1997. Same owner until last month when I bought it.
Has the original BMW luggage set and liners in excellent condition.

Factory extra's include:
Heated Grips - £175
Cruise Control - £345
Pannier Frames - £50

Many new parts recently fitted including new front brake lines, new front master cylinder, new fuel tank, new fuel pump, new battery, fresh service and MOT with no advisories. Totally original and very well cared for.

Stamped service book with both original keys, all BMW associated documentation in original folder and additional sales brochure. Included original sale receipt for £12900, which is what I paid for a new ZZR1400 5 years ago! This was a very expensive motorcycle back in the day and you can see why when you see how well it is made - quite simply it is ridiculously over-engineered and designed to cover continents with ease and reliability. Shaft drive so no chain and sprocket to service.

Rides really well, no mechanical issues, very smooth as you would expect. Datatagged complete with spare tag in documentation.

This is a very rare opportunity to get a bullet proof motorcycle in superb condition.
