Description

This BMW 850 R is an excellent machine. I have had it for over a year. in Portugal where I live and made the trip to UK and back twice in that time. without difficulties. Due to the legal difficulties of importing UK vehicles I have decided with much regret to sell it in UK and buy a Portuguese motorcycle. I will be riding it back to the UK on March 3rd. and can deliver anywhere between Portsmouth and Bradford. if you pay my onward train fare to Leeds / Bradford. Or collect from Bradford between 3rd and 8th March. payment or at least 50% deposit in advance. Mileage is 21. 00. everything works great. it is solid. dependable. starts first time. light clutch. great gearbox. windshield. new Michelin Road Pilot 3 tyres front and rear. good battery. standard exhaust.   Comes with service book. and will be serviced with new filters prior to my next journey. V5 present. lots of great histroy and provenance.   Bad bits. small scratch on tank. in front of the groin basically. Evertthing else is better than you'd expect for a bike of this age. it is a cracker.   Sale MUST be completed by PayPal before I deliver. there is no reserve. I am on the level. and it needs to go. ps ebay has changed the retruns description. it is impossible to understand. There are no returns as I'll be out of the country.

UPDATE I have added 7 new pictures. including one which shows the scratch on the tank. which you can see is minimal. and can be covered with a stick on protector. Also shown in the photos is the service history and the current MOT with NO advisories.   Also shown is the service kit with new plugs. oil filter. air filter and transmission oil. plus engine oil. the bike will be serviced before I set off for UK on March 2nd. There are TWO keys. plus a disclock if I can find it. A small luggage rack is fitted AND I have the grab rail with BMW logo on it. which looks better but is less practical. You may notice that the rear pegs have been removed. this is because I think it looks better. and I ride solo. they are included of course.   My mistake - the mileage is just over 24000. and I am using it almost daily as the sun is shining over here.
