Bike
BMW R1150GS
I've been bike less for a few months now , and I have the itch again .....in fact its become a full blown rash.
I went to look at a 2002 BMW 1150 GS last week. The bike is a code 3. Apparently it was dropped and sustain ed minor cosmetic damage and was written off by the insurance company . The bike was bought back and repaired and looks in reasonably good condition . It has 78000 km on the clock , which for a pig is considered low milage.
So here is the dilemma
It needs a bit of work.
Front brake disks will need to be replaced as they have too much float in them. (They rattle)
Throttle bodies bushings will need to be done .....they have the dreaded ..tikking noise.
Battery is FUBAR....needs to be replaced.
Tyres need to be replaced.
There is no tool box under the rear seat.
The front beak dosnt quite line up with the tank which means the front carrier bracket is slightly bent.

But for the rest ....the bike is in good condition.
The guy will take R37k for it.
DEAL.......OR.......NO DEAL.....
What say the experts ????
