Wow Steve, you should offer a buyer inspection report service. I am taking you along next time I buy!
I buy, then start to notice all the things that I should have seen before.
Sounds like maybe he is expecting too much for this one? Watching ....

The guts of it seemed ok. It needed a big tidy up, but other than new tyres it was good to go.
Prices are all over the shop right now and it's a good time to sell I expect. Too much? Yep if from my wallet. Who knows what someone else would be happy with?

Looked at a R100GS tonight, 'cause it was only 30 min away. $5K asking.
Probably needed similar stuff to the RS above but push rod seals x 4, left head gasket, sump gasket, new tyres for rwc. I'm guessing $1500 to get it up to snuff which includes rego.
I think the owner used to renovate gearboxes...

''push rod seals x 4, left head gasket, sump gasket,''
A few hours and $150?
Tires as sir chooses.

Tyres $350, transfer fees and rego (from club plates) $700, insurance $220
oils, brake fluid $50. it all adds up.
There's a R1100S in Orange for $5500...it's yellow though.

Orange is yellow? Or is the 1100 orange?

I've been watching that for a few weeks. Steve in Dubbo, now in Orange doesn't know of it.
