Right, so I bought a GS1200 very recently 
, so my beloved Hornet has to unfortunately make space for Romulus, as neither my garage nor by bank manager will allow for two bikes and two cars… :-\
What do you get, you might ask? Well let me tell you…
You get a meticulously maintained and respectfully ridden Bayerische Motoren Werke F800 Gelände/Straße. Year of production was 2009 AD.
As at 29 August 2020 (wasn’t it March just the other day…? ???), the total kilometres covered, was a trouble free 65062 (so it’s almost ridden in).
But wait! That's not all folks, for one dollar more, I will add:
- Tubeless wheels – yes, no more yank-out-the-tube-in-the-middle-of-the-Kalahari-to-fix-a-f@kk3n-puncture bullshit... Plug it and go.
- The tyres have more than half their life still left in them. Brake pads are also still schweeeet.
- I put on solid stainless steel discs – and have the originals if you really want the floaters back on.
- Multi tone spots – bright, dim, flash.
- Amber headlight guard.
- Givi/Kappa high touring screen – also have the original, should you wish to go for the Johnny Bravo look.
- Black rubberised crash bars, to fit in with the rest of the black stuff.
- Uniquely lazer cut stainless steel belly pan – as well as the ‘old’ aluminium one, as well as the original plastic p.o.s.
- Big wide nasty shin busting Knersus enduro steel pegs – plus the originals.
- JT sprockets (expensive shyte) and D.I.D. ZVMX chain (even more expensive shyte) was fitted at 60106 kms, on 24.11.19 – the set I took off, looks freakin new and can definitely be used again – ok, you can have them too.
- Nice golden big footprint – for that extra little bling.
- Shorty fake Akro pipe – yah, it comes from Wish.com (thank you Karen, sit down now), but it’s been on there for almost two years, works perfectly well, gives me a boner every time I look at it, and in my educated opinion, sounds better than the real thing – if you pull your nose up at it, I’ll gladly keep it and put the original back on for you.
- For shits + giggles, I put on a new clutch cable when I got it – snapped cable can really fuck up your day – been there, tossed the t-shirt, banged the waitress.
- Last oil change service was at 58656 kms, on 05.10.19 – been running BMW Advantec Ultimate full synth 5W40 ever since – got some left over for you.
- You also get a crate full of extras – as per photo, and a second rear sub-frame (not pictured), just because I can.
- And lastly, if you ask me nicely, I will strap the Motoz Tractionator GPS on the back.
One little issue… the left side heated grip works when it wants to – it doesn’t bother me and I’m not going to do anything about it – that’s your problem.
So what will all of this awesomeness cost you? A mere R59,999.00.
Act now! And get a further R4.00 off your purchase price. Yes folks, today only, a low low R59,995.00. Unbelievable!!!
