Hi all,
I’m new here, and on the look out for an R1200GS. It’s going to be a daily bike, so I want to go as new and low mileage as possible within my 6k budget.
Unfortunately there’s nothing local so I’m looking at dealers online with the intention of getting the bike delivered and I’ve seen a bike that I really like. A 2010 with only 20k miles and the dealer has been really good, sending me videos and images, and this is when I notices some light corrosion around the rear axle as shown in the picture. There’s some other mild flaking of paint on the “crash bars” mostly underneath which leads me to think it’s had off road use (maybe aligns with the low miles too).
So I’m after advise as to whether it’s worth it (at 6.5k) or whether I should steer clear.
Thanks in advance
