Description

2005 Harley XL1200R Sportster in dark metallic red

Rides faultlessly in every way

Absolutely lovely ?ˆ“ see photos

11. 31 miles

MoT until July 1st 2015

It took me 2 years to find a Sportster as nice as this one. with the spec I wanted.

This is the rider?ˆ™s Harley ?ˆ“ with twin front discs. tacho. and reasonable ground clearance (for a Harley!).

It has the rubber-mounted engine. so no problems with vibration. and no alarm so no battery problems either.

It has the popular ?ˆ?stage one?ˆ™ kit with Screamin Eagle pipes ?ˆ“ but these are not excessively noisy like the old ones used to be: they just emit a nice rumble. You won?ˆ™t be setting off car alarms or upsetting the neighbours. It pulls cleanly and strongly at all engine speeds. and averages 55+ mpg the way I ride!

It comes with a lot of extras. apart from the exhaust: quickly detachable backrest and luggage rack. chrome clocks. various ?ˆ?Live to Ride?ˆ™ medallions. ?ˆ?Sportster?ˆ™ themed grips and clutch cover ?ˆ“ and if you study the pics you?ˆ™ll see most of the screws have little chrome inserts that push in to keep water and dirt out. This bike has been loved!

I have all the MoTs since May 2009 when the mileage was 4102 (so just missing the first one).

I bought the bike in August 2013 with a mileage of just under 10. 00.

I changed the oil and filter recently (Millers ZSS 20/50 semi-synthetic) and the tyres have thousands of miles in them (decent Avons). I will also include the standard tail light assembly and reg plate mounting.

If you?ˆ™re still with me. that just leaves the logbook details. It says the bike was first registered on 09/02/2005 ?ˆ?elsewhere in the UK?ˆ™ and first registered in the UK on 16/06/2009. It didn?ˆ™t bother me ?ˆ“ I assume it was originally in the Channel Islands or somewhere like that.

Viewing is very welcome ?ˆ“ just contact me through Ebay.

Price? I?ˆ™d be disappointed if it doesn?ˆ™t reach £4000 but I have set the reserve well below this. so bid away and you might be lucky.

ONLY UK BIDS PLEASE
