seen this ebay ad

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-R115...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

I like the look of it, few nice extras, suspension and the like. Within my meagre budget and looks clean enough, abs version (apparently overhauled not too long ago). No clutch issues reportedly. Fair way from me so would mean a train trip and a day off work to see so trying to avoid wasted money and time looking at a dog. Opinions from the great and the good on the strength of an ad would be appreciated.

cheers

I'd say for the money that's a nice bike. If you ask nicely someone closer than you will go and have a look at it, just start a thread 'Anyone in Shrewsbury'. Good luck.
 
Seems a genuine bike. Nice condition.
How many prev owners and how long has the present owner had it?
"An ABS overhaul" What was that, a brake fluid change?
The brake hoses may be original. If so you'll need to think about changing them.
Is the LH cam chain tensioner noisy? Upgraded tensioner is available.
"New rear shock". It doesn't look like Ohlins - despite the stickers.
Check for play in paralever bearings
None of the above should put you off; just a factor in the price negotiation.
Nice seat btw - wanna swop? Any heated grips?
 
Cheers two wheels will bear all that in mind. Advice very much appreciat d.
