General Description / Information / Comments on Bike |
its big its red its a total blast to ride …. cracks n pops on the throttle off…. good bike if your a larger unit … tyres are all good for a while yet.. Michelin Pilot 3(front) 4(rear). 12 month warrant runs out July… starts 1st time every time has been a reliable as hell … I keep it in the garage and treat it very well .. I would ride this bike around the country tomorrow, without hesitation , however at the moment to work and back is how it is and even that is awesome. |

What is Good About This Bike |
this bike is comfy for me 5ft 11 .it is solid … it has some weather protection .. it sounds amazing .. it has never let me down .. it is quick enough ..lots of torque.. good for 2up riding … it handles very well, nothing seems to upset it .. if you had the inclination and a couple of basic tools you could do 95% of your own maintenance. it looks different in a good way. check out the youtube videos. it is a good simple bike, something which is becoming quite rare.. basically you can ride it anyway you want. |
Known Faults or Problems |
crack lower front rhs mudguard .. crack front rhs blinker housing .. neither of which affect performance .. I have been occasionally looking locally for 2nd hand replacements .. there are plenty new and 2nd hand available on the net from o/seas. the only expensive(ish) problems have been with the drive train .. diff and pivot arm bearing replacement @ 64615kms and crownwheel bearing replacement @ 82337 kms … apart from that all very good. also the seat has a crack in it so I have re covered it.( I give it 8/10 as a result ) |
Service History / Mechanical Work |
I have stamped log books and receipts .. the work I have known about is listed above… |
Why Is Bike For Sale |
I have fallen in love with a Monster (Ducati s2r 1000) and need to sell the BMW to facilitate purchase of said Monster. This is no reflection on how I feel about the beemer, our bond is still strong but it has been several years and its time for a little variety. |
