Hi Guys

I need a favour from down under. I am situated in Centurion and am looking at buying bike down in cape town. Obviously I cannot just quickly drive to the seller after work so is there any 1150 enthusiast that would go and have a look at the bike and give an honest opinion whether it's worth my while?

Thanks

Hi, What model 1150?

Im a few km away in Strand.

What do you want checked except condition, etc?

You've obviously agreed on price.

How urgent?

Its a 2001 with 48000km on the clock. I want to know if the bike still sounds good (one needs to take it for a spin), if one can see if its accident free, the real km on the clock. General overall condition (just a second good BMW honest opinion). if one would suggest buying the bike. its a bit urgent because the price is good and from the pics looks nice so I think its gonna go quick.

If you have time it would be great, give me your number and I will organise with you and the owner.

Thanks

Just an update to whom ever. Peer had gone to the seller to have a look and the bike looks good so I am buying it. O my greatness I am exited! A big thanks to Peer for the efforts he really helped alot, what a friendly bloke! When I come down to fetch the bike a lekke cold beer will have your name on it. I actually can't believe cape town had such friendly people, but after hearing Peer is originally from transvaal it made sence! Jokes!

Now to fetch the bike. Driving with the car = -+R1700, flying = R1200 PP, train = R660 PP!!!
