  6. I will. Sold my BMW 1000RR early this year, and I want to buy something else before the spring.
     
  7. Quite a soft old thing on standard suspension though.
     
  8. Not at zero miles :thinkingface:

  9. Mine had done 1600 miles when I bought it. The front forks have too much travel, and the rake isn't ideal on the standard yokes. Mileage wont affect that.
     
  10. It hasn't got any mileage :eyes: so nothing will affect that :thinkingface:
     
  11. Except internal corrosion.
     
  12. Extreeeeemly unlikely tbf :) and it ain't going nowhere until I've sold it anyhoo :thinkingface: and then it will probably not anyhoo…
     
  13. Has it got the original air in the tyres :).

  14. Yes :bucktooth: it's raise doff the ground: they are a little low on pressure :thinkingface:
     
  15. Hi I’m new to the forum to so I can’t comment on which is better 1098 or 1198 but to give you an idea of price I brought a 1198 base model last weekend with termigomonis cans and race air filter and race ecu plus all original parts and a little bit of carbon, it was also 1 owner it had 2800 miles on the clock f/s/h abolutely mint condition not even a stone chip and also had service and belts recently done I paid £6400 for it C91DB36A-28DD-46DB-9962-514DED81F838.jpeg

  16. Sounds like a cheap bike, where was it advertised?
     
  17. Facebook marketplace it was up for £6700 in fact I got it even cheaper then £6400 he took £6350 in the end as rear tyre could do with replacing I didn’t even test ride it as it looked like a new bike he was a decent bloke kept it locked up inside the RAF barracks where he worked I was well chuffed
     
  18. All I can say pauly is there are good deals out there just be patient something will turn up especially now winter is approaching
     
  19. Don't think so, all 4 of mine are no better if not slightly worse, and one is a 1500 mile Bayliss that hasn't had fuel in it for ages.
    Never seen one with more clearance - not sure what they were like when new though.
