75000 mi

Post by rtbmrgl »

Hello, looking to get a R1200rt, I found a 2012 with 75K miles, should I be concerned or anticipate future issues.
Thanks, Mark

As long as it's been serviced regularly and any issues been sorted? 75k miles isn't that high, these engines are pretty bullet proof and capable of high mileage if looked after.

75K pretty much guarantees that it doesn't suffer from the Chocolate Cam problem. ;)
