Dear Abby,
A nice one has popped into my 'Beemers for sale' field of vision today. In particular I have a 'K bikes for sale' urge since I miss my own K100RS back at home, but any bike that piques my interest and is for sale is worth a squiz, in my estimation. I almost rode the bike home to give it a go, with the owner's permission of course, but it was bucketing hard with cold rain so I rode my own comfortable, spread wing fairing R1150RT home instead. I'll try the bike in a coupla days when it dries out a bit. I know when I need to slow down and take it easy.
This is what it looks like - as clean as this - but this is not the actual bike. It comes with series III panniers and an OEM top box, has very few dingles and dents, a custom Rich's seat (local Seattle-area) and has...wait for it...27,492 original miles (about 44200 kilometres) on the odo. I checked its service history and the owner has ridden it less than 4,000 miles since the end of 2006, after a full service and new tyres, which by now are past their use-by date! I promise to replace them with Michelin PR4s as soon as...
I do have room in the garage...next to the R1150GS & RT. Am I being greedy, and do you think my bike back home will sense there's been a change in the atmosphere?
