BMW R1100 R. 1999 V. Just 2 previous owners. Comes with ABS, heated grips, screen, handguards, belly protector and a front mudguard extender. It also has an unused genuine BMW tool kit. Runs well and does 200 miles to every tank. The back tyre has done max 1000 miles and I recently got a front fork seal repaired as well as the oil filter, engine oil and spark plugs changed about 1000 miles ago. It has MOT til October although has only done 3000 since the last MOT.
The bad bits:
- There are a few marks on the tank where other handlebars have chipped it. They are not dents but still probably 10 small chips.
- In the winter the ABS won't set up due to the drain in the battery to start the engine being too great. Just re-start it again after 5 mins running and it is fine. However this is not a problem now as the weather is warmer thus making the battery do less work.
- The front tyre is pretty much worn out, would only do another 500 miles I think max.
The bike has no service history however it runs fine and regarding its recent service through me, I'm afraid you'll just have to take my word for it.
Please don't ask for the reserve as it is a closely guarded secret that even my wife doesn't know.
As I say the bike is what it is. I would not sell a dog as I value my feedback rating too much. I've stated all its faults, however if you would like to view it please call me on 07801 277238 - Paul. I'm only selling because I want a Harley (wife doesn't know that either) so would consider a swap for one.
Good luck bidding! Although please don't bid if you have no feedbacks - been there, seen it, not received payment. I also reserve the right to cancel all bids if I sell it elsewhere. If you do win, please pay cash and pick it up within 2 weeks.

They're not terrible but as they can't be seen in the pics then I thought I best mention them. Also there is a scratch of about 4" long on the screen from someone else's handlebars, again nothing serious and can't be seen in pics. It's all just reasonable wear and tear for its age and mileage.
