For Sale / Wanted / Re: 2016 (16 plate) R1200RT LE FOR SALE! Price reduced to £13460
« on: August 19, 2016, 08:52:25 pm »
Hey guys, it was Brisbane in the end, for various reasons. One of them were the two words "sub-tropical climate". Another was the more abundant choice of travel destinations travelling on two wheels. Work related reasons as well. It was not a matter of wanting to leave this country (I'll refrain from saying the obvious and overused joke "you voted me out of the UK!"  ::) ) but rather it was the appeal of the position being offered and wanting to go there.

I hope this will not stir resentments amongst the K-biker  ;) but the RT is an amazing piece of machinery. I missed the twist-and-go action of the 1300cc inline four, which is never in the wrong gear no matter which gear you are in, but the RT makes up more than enough in comfort and nimbleness for what it lacks in raw torque. And it is surprisingly fast and agile in the twists for such a heavy-looking bike....

For Sale / Wanted / 2016 (16 plate) R1200RT LE FOR SALE! Price reduced to £13460

Not quite a K bike but it is from the same breed......  :)

I have now received my formal offer of employment so my plan to relocate down under is going ahead.

Unfortunately australian laws regarding the import of private use vehicles are very strict, and the total of shipping cost, registration fees and import duties is too high, so my 5 months old pride and joy is up for sale. It is an amazing machine and it will be replaced with an identical bike as soon as get there!

It is a 2016 production R1200RT LE with Dynamic package in metallic platinum bronze (2016 colour) and black engine casing and driveshaft. Registered on the 5th of March this year on a 16 plate. As all of you already know, the LE is the top of the range model, and having the Dynamic package means that the bike has all the possible optional extras, except for the radio and keyless ride. With this level of equipment and accessories, the bike would cost over £16,500 new.

It was bought from and looked after by the great guys at CW Motorcycles in Dorchester. It has just over 6800 miles on the clock and has just had its second service done at CW, which also fitted a fresh set of Michelin PR4 GT tyres less than 100 miles ago.

It has BMW engine head covers fitted at purchase, and will come with a brand new regular height seat never used before, as it was swapped prior to delivery with a high seat. Obviously it will carry the reminder of its 24 months BMW warranty and emergency services.

The bike is currently located in Southampton.

Price reduced to £13460.

Please feel free to pm me to ask any question or to request photos.

OK, I've just read the post and is now clear...... I thought I could as the "post reply" page has field to upload attachments so I thought that that would work.

I think I'm doing it the right way but when I press "post" I get the message:
"The upload folder is full. Please try a smaller file and/or contact an administrator."

I have tried jpg and pdf files less than 100kb in size. Even just the one gets rejected.

Most of the parts have been sold today to a forum member, the only parts left are:
top box with machined aluminium adapter for installation on the BMW rear rack
machined aluminium brake and clutch levers, foldable and adjustable in both throw and length.
tomtom gps with adapter for the BMW gps power socket

I will consider reasonable offers....... the top box was £120 new, the adapter costed me £110 for the machining, priming and powder coating, the aftermarket levers were around £100 and have been on the bike for 2 days before it was written off.

Cheers guys, don't worry about putting me off, the question for me is not "to go or not to go", but "Perth or Brisbane?", in case I get to choose. Nothing is going to make me change my mind about going!!

I have been discussing with a potential new employer a job offer which would mean relocating to Australia either in Brisbane or Perth, and therefore I would like to hear from anyone who has lived in either of the two places about pros and cons in general of living in one or the other, but most importantly which one is the best place to live in from a motorcyclist's point of view!
