BMW R1150RT Motorcycle 2003 12 months MOT

BMW R1150RT motorcycle. Mot to Feb 16. 75000 miles Selling as I'm moving and will have nowhere to keep it. I've owned the bike for a year. It starts and runs every time and is reliable. The bike come with panniers but no top box/case (the rack is present if you want to get one) The bike is generally clean for its age but the previous owner kept it outdoors and there is some cosmetic corrosion (see example in close up) the panniers are a bit scuffed but ok. It's 11 years old so has a few scuffs and marks as you'd expect. Just passed MOT. will need rear brake pads soon (close to limit) and had 2 other advisories: 1. "Offside rear suspension bearing has slight free play"2. "Front upper steering head bearing has slight free play" In the year I've owned it I've changed the oil and filter but otherwise just ridden it. (About 6k miles)  - I have evidence of servicing from previous owner (but I haven't read the details of what's been done when) Other minor issues are:I only have one key. the previous owner only gave me one and promised to look for the other. but never came up with it (despite prompting)  I replaced the speedo cable a few months ago and since then it intermittently makes a noise. the speedo works but I suspect the cable is dodgy or I've managed to kink it slightly.  You are welcome to view before the auction closes. but if you bid you are bidding to buy not look. non-payment will be reported. I will accept PayPal or cash on collection. but no post auction bartering. the price is the price. no exceptions.  If you want to ride it away you'll be responsible for the road tax as it's no longer transferable. Collection only Happy to answer any questionsPlease do not make offers or ask for a 'buy it now' price - the auction will run to completion. I'm starting the bidding low so you might get a bargain.  Happy bidding
