BMW 1150GS Question - SV650.org

I can buy one of these for around 3k, it has full bmw service history, new gearbox and clutch and nearly immaculate. Problem is it's done 76k. Anyone know if this will be a problem on this model and how long they can run for?

The Boxer engine is a solid piece of engineering and normally good, if well maintained, for well in excess of 100K. The challenge is the rest of the bike, gearbox etc.

I would recommend that you register on UKGser.com and ask the question there as they will be able to tell you what to check for.
