Well they are about $22,000 dowunder !!!!
This bike was advertised and my son saw the add on Monday so I had a mate look at it in Adelaide ,he just said " BUY IT NOW " on Monday afternoon . Tuesday I rang then organised airticket, Wed flew down inspected the bike ( took all of 30 seconds ) at lunchtime and bought it for $8,000 from the dealer . Yes the bike has done 118,000 Klms which in Australian seem high but in reality it's not, bikes like this run 300,000 plus .
The previous owner had paid about $24,000 in October 2005 , so he lost a lot .
With the bike are factory bags and Top box etc ,the dealer did not even have to clean the bike and when I opened the saddlebags there were sheepskin seat covers BONUS . You would swear the bike had only 10,000 klm on it to look at the condition. The previous owner had left all the dealer service invoices in the top box and his diary of what was done on the bike right down to the PART number of each headlight bulb he had replaced and Kilometers when done !!!!
I had one of the first Yamaha XS1100 which I fitted out with all the gear INCLUDING stero radio cassette player, full fairing, Krauser bags, Top box etc in the late 1970s ,so big Yamaha's touring bikes I have a soft spot for .
Oky I was contacted by Hay Air Traffic control they wanted to know what runway I was going to land on !
