ride4fun Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Found a 2003 R 1150 GS with 85 kilometers on the clock. What might this bike be worth? It is 8 years old, but basically new and hardly ridden. What would be a resonable offer? Link to comment
4wheeldog Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Keep in mind that it needs (If it has not just been done) a battery, new tires, brake flush and a service......Plus another service (600 mile/1000 kilometer service) in another 500 miles. Low mileage sometimes means only that it has been sitting a lot. Ran well when parked........Go in with eyes open. Good Luck! Link to comment
notacop Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 A lady friend from San Diego bent on Alaska bought a 2002 1150GS with 100K miles ons the clock. Got hers' for $2000. It was really clean except for the new Shinko tires which were cracking badly after a couple hundred miles. Got new rubber while at the 49er rally. Now she's ready for the far North. Link to comment
Haynes Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Here in Australia, a lower mileage twin-spark R1150GS will cost you between $10,000-$12,000. The new price for these was about $17,000 so that's about 2/3 of the original value. There are plenty of cheaper R1150GS in Oz with higher mileage. It's all about what it is worth to you.
