I agree mate, mines on eBay at the mo but the more dickheads I get asking stupid questions and making stupid offers I'm very tempted on keeping it.
I hate selling shit, it’s a constant ballache but it’s the same when buying because I’m always away. I need to ask loads of questions because most of the ads are poorly written to start with. You can tell the seller is starting to get the arse with all the questions and I end up pulling the plug cause I can’t be bothered with the aggro
So canbus issue was sorted by BMW in the end ? So what was the problem with gen3 again ? If all issues were sorted why did you sell it ?
Just put a deposit down on a 2015 R1. It’s got a great spec and hopefully it all goes well when I go to see it. I’ll post the details up was everything’s done and dusted. Thanks for all the suggestions and help guys.
I have mate but it’s in Spain and that’s where it lives. I wanted another track bike for doing UK days so I don’t have to keep shipping it back and forth.
