S1000XR Swap
« on: December 22, 2023, 11:05:09 am »
Hi,

Having previously had an earlier K1600GT prior to moving to a ZZR and then to my current S1000XR, I'm now looking to move back to a K1600GT.

I've been looking at available bikes on eBay & the like, and am pretty much settled on a 2017/18 K1600GT with reverse assist.

Should there be anyone on the forum who fancies a change to an S1000XR, please contact me for a chat.

Fyi, my bike is a 2016 S1000XR SE with ~32k miles. She's had her cat removed (kept original end-can, so has been through two MOTs since with no issues), a power-commander fitted, and has been professionally remapped.

I've also had a custom seat made & fitted, installed driving lights, and resprayed her in grey (recorded on the log book).

Uprated chain & sprockets fitted, plenty of life in the Road Pilots, and no faults. She's always been well looked after & covered, never dropped, and is regularly serviced by local bike specialists.

Of course, she could easily be put back to standard should her new owner prefer.

Happy to send pics & videos via email or WhatsApp.

I'm realistic on value for mine, and quite happy to add sufficient cash for an equitable swap.

I'm located in central Scotland, however willing to travel for the right bike.

cheers

Stu

I dunno, call me  :adolf_reduced: but something feels strange about anthropomorphizing your bike and then offering to swap it :P

Poor gal! :D

I've always been fickle with my affections, whether human or otherwise - my good lady wife excepted of course  ;D
