Grey Hound
Time to let my trusty steed go :'(
I bought the bike new (single owner) in June 2007.
It has served me well and has never let me down.
ODO: 123 000km (I still ride it often so not sure the exact mileage)
ABS
Heated grips
Was serviced by BMW up until 50k.
I then took over the servicing and maintenance work from there.
Serviced by BMW again at 90k when they replaced the clutch.
Water pump replaced at 80k ish (can double check)
Steering head bearings replaced start of this year (can check the km's reading)
Rear shock rebuilt by Super Foxi at 80k ish (can double check) also replaced all the swing arm bushings and bearings at that time.
Does not use any oil between services.
Service history/records information can be provided.
Still running the original fork seals after 123k :ricky: :ricky: :ricky:
License recently renewed.
Extras on the bike:
Touratech lower front mud guard - really helps with water spray when riding in the rain
Neoprene fork socks
Orange headlight protector
Bark Busters hand gaurds
Handlebar raisers
SW Motech crashbars *can be removed to reduce price further
SW Motech centre stand *can be removed to reduce price further
Touratech rear shock protector
Steel braided rear brake hose
Honesty section:
*Looking at the one picture you'll see a little plastic cover plate just by the fuel filler cap - that cap is missing - the one on the other side is there. Have no clue where that cap is.
*Looking at the same photo you'll see paint flaking on the one engine cover - not sure why it did that. It is not battery acid.
*The indicators and everything work - but the right turn indicator can sometimes not engage on the first click - it generally does this when it is very cold. When it is hot it works fine everytime. I suspect there might be a dodgy solder joint - should be easy to sort out but never got around to do it.
*I'm the worlds worst bike washer - I can work on it all day, I can ride it all day but man ask me to wash it and :-[
Price: R30k neg
If I forgot anything I'll update the post.
