So, I'm having a second go at this post.
I've put off the day that I had to sell this bike a few times over the past couple of years, but the reality is that it is now time to do so and I'm looking for advice on a valuation.
Pending daughter nuptials and a large medical bill are forcing my hand a little, but the bike isn't getting the use it needs to justify keeping it, and in truth it has only ever been an indulgence on my part to have a GSA for pootling about on a weekend and nipping into town.
I know that by asking for €6000, everything included, I am looking for a top end price. It is not yet advertised anywhere else so I will take advice from folk on here if I'm well off on price. Located in Waterford.
Here's the spec:
Silver
2004
35300km
2 owners from new
Imported from Germany by myself - search back on my threads to an early one and you'll find it
2 keys,
Logbook, all original documentation receipts for service intervals
EVO Sport gearbox
BMW Topbox
Brake pedal extn
Bagster Tank Cover & Bag
Custom re-covered standard seat (I'm 185cm)
Battery Charger
Torbinators on/for screen
Upgraded hose fuel connections
RAM mounts x 2
HID light upgrade
Rear hugger
Light bar with spots
Touratech Panniers
Cut off footrests
Shortened indicator stem
Tyres with <2000km on them
there's probably other bits I've forgotten
I bought it near Karlsruhr from the original owner, a mechanic in a Motorad dealership, so the bike has had a very easy life and only let me down once, 3km from home, when a fuel pipe connector cracked. Both were subsequently replaced with better after-market versions. The 35300km is fully accurate - hard to believe perhaps, but as I said, it has been a toy for me and was parked up (indoors, covered, filled with fuel, tyres delated etc) for 3 years at one point.
The pic in this posting is from last week and in the next post (before last years seat cover replacement) are others from not too long ago. Plenty more are available if required.
