Hello, a friend of mine (who is a Harley guy) lost his mind 2 years ago and bought an R1100GS 1996 version with only 23,000 miles off Ebay. We worked together and he rode it maybe 6 miles but he let me ride it and I put say 200 miles on it. I really liked the power and smoothness of the bike.
Now two years later he offered it to me for $2500.
I know it is older but the previous owner (before my friend) seemed to take pretty good care of it.
I am just on the edge of taking him up on it.
If I do, I plan on doing a complete maintenance on it and installing a few safety items, like new SS brake lines pads, tires, etc...
What is everyone's opinion on this bike?
Obviously there are some known issues with them but most older bikes are like that. Overall they are solid machines. $2500 for 23000 and you know previous history (and have put 200 miles of test ride on) sounds like a good deal to me.

Yup, sound like a good buy to me as well. Jump on it.
