    Estate sale find

    Had a buddy ask me to put a value on a bike for a friend of his wife for an estate sale.
    After looking it over and doing some research, I told them what to expect out of it. After some discussion they asked me about buying it to
    not have to deal with trying to sell something they had no idea about. So I ended up with a BMW R1200RT. Had to get a recall done on the fuel
    tank to fix a fuel leak, but now it seems to run fine even after sitting a couple years.
    Has anyone had one of these? Can't decide if I'm going to register it or just sell it off. I'm curious about riding it for a bit, so may register just to try it.
    If anyone on here wants it, I'll give you a good deal.
    Has everything. Power wind screen, Heated grips and seats, cruise control, etc.

    I have never ridden a Sport Touring bike before but have heard they are better long distance bike than your normal touring bike. You get some of that crotch rocket handling in a comfortable ride.

    Can’t help you on a $ value, but the BMW adventure bikes have a pretty solid following.

    Bit of a one-off with regard to manufacturer warranty/maintenance, but if you’re into it at a comfortable price point, why not get a little saddle time and see if it’s something you might enjoy keeping.

    Hope it works out, whatever you decide.
