HELP: Rare find

[jamie_s_72]

Guys I have a client offering me a 2006 K1200R for $5000. He purchased this bike and a Triumph in a private auction from the collection of a oil . This bike has 400 miles on it. I know that this presents some potential problems. The bike is immaculate and I love the R. What are your thoughts?

Open the cap and smell the gas. If it smells like turpentine you have some repairs in your future.

Hey Jamie
Will move this to Wedge K's shortly as that R falls in that category here. Nice specimen with a few minor issues either addressed by a technical campaign or a recall.As Anton mentioned, stale fuel is a killer.

I have gotten spoiled with ABS on most the bikes we have. I believe that is a non-ABS model if it makes a difference to you.Am not seeing ABS ring on front wheel.
Being able to whoa down 167HP in a pinch might help with it.

Moving to Wedges.

Without seeing and touching it I can't say for sure - but I think it is a steal at that price.

What Paul said. Cool neat bike.
