paging Burnt/other BMW K experts

is it just me, or is this:

a bit of a bargain?

 

That's what I have, K100RS SE, except mines registered 1990, and yes that's
a bargain ... depressingly so.

Certainly is, though I expect the price will go up a bit.
Locally(N Shropshire) a full service 'n fettle would cost £200 + a bit for
sender units & labour (if required), bargain.

 

I'm going to watch it and see. I've just got rid of one SOBWM mind, so
I really ought not to.

Well, if something mad happens and I buy it, you might have to pick it
up for me.

Has the UKRM underground railway delivered a whole bike before?

 

ignore that, I misread your post.

 

You really can't tell yet - all the bidding happens in the last two
minutes and I'd expect that to sell for between two and three times its
current price of £600-odd.

I'd be concerned about the ABS. Might just be a warning light fault -
might be more. Non-functioning ABS is an MOT failure too, and bloody
expensive to sort out sometimes. Hog's your man here.

The wayward speedo is another problem. I've watched Hog dismantle a K
series instrument console and it's a right bugger - I wouldn't touch
one myself.

But worth a punt at £1500.

 

PS bad form, etc .. often the ABS warning fault is nothing more than the
batteries gone flat and the ABS computer needs resetting, simple enough
task.

Of course if it's really bust then it can get expensive .....

Quite simply, give or take the ABS1, the best K model you can buy. The
blue/white special with all black ally is just *the one to have*

ABS is usually easy to fix, as is the speedo, if not the breakers are
full of parts.

If it were 6 months ago I would have snapped it up, assuming the bidding
doesn't go silly.....but it might, lots of people know. Most K's are
hugely overvalued by the owners, if this one is really clean close up
it's £2k worth

 

I'd have suspected they'd be out of ABS1 bits but I'll take your word for it
given (thankfully) I've not had any probs so far.

Phew ... makes me happier ... mine's clean and I'd sort of hoped it would be
somewhere twixt 1500 to 2000.

 

TOG@toil, ,

Well, I had a bike with ABS MoT'd recently; they said the ABS indicator
being on didn't matter.

 

Not as such, but there was this long, hot day Summer before last ...

 

oh yeah...

 

Was is the first day of June?
