Good morning.
I am new here and am looking forward to connecting with like minded riders! Recently went to my first MOA Rally here in Vermont which was great!
I am in need of some educated guidance. I am in the process of looking for a newer bike (I currently have a 1978 R100/7 and a 1998 K1200RS) to do some serious cross country touring on next year and came across a 2006 R1200RT which is being sold by a motorcycle dealer who doesn't really know the history. My concern is that the bike apparently has been sitting for a long time. There is some serious external pitting going on and I am wondering if internally something similar has occurred? And in general was this a good year for this particular model? It has only 17K miles on it so I would imagine it's relatively good for a while before anything major? Any help, thoughts, opinions, encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Roy
