Oh great, the 'investment' bods strike again

Of course he probably should have chosen to do it up in an investment
fashion as well:

Not to mention that it appears to have the wrong engine in it, too...

 

And the seller is handily out of the country for most of the auction.

Why do people do that?

 

SteveH was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

"Sold as not seen"

 

That is horrible, too......

 

You may be right. I'd have to ask my mate Alan who ran a naked GL1000
pulling a chair for several years.

 

Tim was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Well, I thought the '1100cc' was a bit of a giveaway. I mean, there's
a reason that it's called GL*1000*.

 

It's a 1000 engine - well, rocker cover. The bit about the original
paintwork being cream is bollocks, though - it would have been red or blue.
The position of the rear indicators and the shape of the tank put it between
75 and 77. The saddle sucks dead goats through a straw for money, but the
rest is probably kosher.

 

You've got it bad, haven't you?

You'll have to give in to it one day, you know.

Still for sale, y'know.

Cheap, too.

I have too many bikes. Not as many as you, but still. And I can't afford
it, no matter how cheap.

Two absolutely *pathetic* excuses. Pathetic, I tell you.

Pathetic? I'll give you pathetic. I was trundling home from work on El
Comfo this evening, and wishing I was cosily ensconced behind the fairing of
the R80RT. If that's not pathetic, I don't know what is.

 

The RxxxRT and RxxxRS have one of the most efficient (as in protecting
the rider) fairings I have ever ridden behind.

 

<AOL>

In fact, I'd say the original boxer R100RS fairing is still the best
I've ever used, absolutely bar none. The original Guzzi Spada fairing
ran it quite close for comfort, but in the rain the RS rocked.

I remember belting home from Dover, on my way back from the Bol, and the
heavens opened somewhere near Folkestone. As long as I kept the thing
over 50 (over 80 was better!) I didn't get wet, so I dodn't bother to
stop and put the waterproofs on over my leathers.

Only downer with the RS fairing was the restricted steering lock because
the (narrow) bars were entirely cocooned behind the fairing, so in town
it was a bit of a pig.

 

The bike I had prior to my first FJ1200 was an R100RS and I can only
agree.

 

I'd still like another R100RS.....

 

The Older Gentleman says...

Some people never learn.

 

Vetter Windjammer, innit? Decent enough fairing for its time, but
unutterably gash appearance-wise. If I bought your bike, the fairing would
be on fleabay so fast it would make your head spin.

 

I have one!
Fortunately after speaking to TOG yesterday I will not have a CBX
prolink.
