More details please, age, mileage etc

That looks a serious touring machine. Good work my friend. I feel another French trip coming on

Ditto Mals comments - Don't know about a 'mere' France trip though, that's a full Europe round trip type of bike.

Thanks Alan, summed up nicely.

Good looking piece of German kit Mr Sim sir! I loved my R1100RT but it had to go in px for the Pan Eoropean we had before the Intruder. Try Nippy Normans for add on parts Sim as well as the usual dealers & MotoBins etc...

Quote: "Old Luner" (sorry I made a ball's of splitting the thread   ) is it the one with all the bell's and whistle's, ie millions of settings to choose from?. It's the SE model Mart, heated seats & grips, electric suspension control, cruise control, electric windshield and built in ash tray  

Quote: "Johnboss" more details please, age, mileage etc. it's a 2011 with 15k and full bmw history, looks to have been well cared for.

Compulsory you bring that on the next ride out, so we can all have a sit on it

So, unless you have been shafted on the price (which somehow I very much doubt) it looks like you've bagged a very nice piece of kit there.  Be  interested to see it in the metal.

That looks sweet Sim - looks like a mile-muncher !

That's a very nice looking bike.

Herman is home   

Very tasty. You could have picked a nicer day for riding It home! Or did you manage to do that in the 23 minutes of "hint of sun" we had in the north west today?

No rain at all here Mal, it did go dark and cloudy at 6 ish but not a bad day overall   fuckin shat myself on the back of that R6 though    not recommended! 

Very nice  Sim, very nice indeed.  So planning on some epic  European tours then?
Deb has seat envy!

Nice ride Sim. Don't get like a lot of beemer riders & be pig ignorant now ok!

Thanks. I'm not like that Peter 

Proper mile muncher that mate ....... Guess with it being a BMW the indicators won't work ?

well John ...he is middle aged, quite well worn and done considerable mileage but has been well cared for his current keeper. Some bits are coming loose but a bit of plastic surgery would soon tidy him up.

Only just seen this thread cos I've been elsewhere a bit.
   Looks like a real swanky tourer that, just run in too. Bet it makes your HD seem like a boneshaker (nice boneshaker though) Bet it's got a bit more BHP than the Bandit, but that would not be hard! Enjoy!

Thats a cracking looking bike Sim, enjoy it m8 

great looking bike wish you many miles  with a smile on your face

Lovely bike Sim, you must be well chuffed. Envy coming from this direction.
