Thoughts on a 2007 r 1200 rt with 44,000 miles

[rangergus]

Newbie here considering purchasing a 2007 rt with 44,000 miles. I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts.


Thanks,

Nothing wrong with the year or mileage.  Down to condition, service history and price.

...and colour.  Don't forget colour!!

Don't think they made them in warp speed grey.

I recently bought a 2007 with 28,000 miles in Biarritz Blue with matching luggage. Only been out a couple of trips but it's a great bike and I'm looking forward to some long continental tours this summer (haha, did I say summer!)

That's why they're so much slower...

  Thanks all for the responses.    It's in very good condition, custom wind screen, seat, gps, kuryarkin hwy pegs, etc. Color is that lovely bmw brown, but it matches my bell modular, so I can live with it. I have a 2011 suzuki c50t, that I love, but the bmw ride was very different, as you all know. The only thing I may  miss is the floorboards and not being able to  be flatfooted at a stop. It's a bit tall for me, but I'll adjust.

You are obviously over the pond.

First time I heard of somebody buying a bike because it matches his helmet!

I get the matching idea - but isn't it cheaper to buy the right colour (sorry, color) bike and change your helmet??


Unless you like brown of course...

And he only wanted advice on the bike.  They made that year in a nice silver grey as well.

Just bought an 07 in that slow gray. Love it. Traded in my son's 09 Shadow. He came home, took one look at it and ... I haven't seen it since. Lol.
It's a great bike. Love the cruise. Love the adjustable windshield.
I have an 11 Harley Electraglide. Still, after a full day on the RT, no leg pain, no back pain, no hip pain.
Now, if I can only figure out a way to afford the 14K1600GTLE w only 650 miles, I'd have all the bikes I will ever need.

Thanks for the comments. I got the bike and am loving it. I'll post some pics soon. The exhaust has a 2 into one with a nozzle  at the end and a Z next to the nozzle. anyone know what brand that is? I don't think it's stock. I looked on line, but didn't see anything pop up.
