Just been to see one that I have potentially now bought, just gotta
wait a week until I commit.

Its a 95 plate, 15,000 miles!!!! Ex-plod machine, that Im getting for
pennies really.

I want to use it across in the UK and so it has to be relaible,
anything major to look out for?

If you believe that a 15 year old plod bike has only done 1000 miles
per year I have this nice bridge to sell you.

Escort duty, perhaps. Those are generally low-milers.

Unless you plan on changing the seat and the panniers then it'll
always be recognisable as a plod bike.

Unless you're getting it *very* cheap I'd suggest having a look on
Ebay so you know what they're going for over here because older K
series beemers are dirt cheap even if they're not ex plod.
