R100GS: SWOP not sale

BY MEMBER GS site member : OGMIGOS from Dublin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
testing the water here (Tosser speak for 'chancing me arm' )

i dont want to sell / i have to swop if i take any notice of medical advice.
Oh - and i need the money!

ANYhow,
to the point.
I am considering a swop - W.H.Y. for my Bike and cash my way.

details:
R100GS;
1990 reg / 1991 model (newer switchgear.)
about 48k miles.
clutch works fine (some seems to go at about 50k / some dont - mine appears to be the latter ).
panniers and a qd Krauser topbox, panniers pretty good nick / topbox tatty.
i suspect (but have no proof) it has a higher output alternator as it, unlike any other old boxer i've had, has never flattened its battery, e.g. in winter mornings / short commutes with lights on.
Has accesory socket
Colour : very red
rear shock is off an R100r, lowers the Bike slightly (apparently) rebuilt recently - works Very Well.
Ermax taller screen.
Braided brake hose.

some history;
i got it in Frankfurt 5 year ago. previous owner said it originally belonged to BMW - not a dealer, but BMW themselves - wish i knew more about that.

it's in basically good nick for its age, but needs driveshaft.
- what's in it was borrowed off a mates bike and is on the way out - but would make it no problem to say... middle England / arse end of Ireland !

also,
gearbox sump plug threads gone / needs a helicoil? - so is held in with 'chemical metal' and lock wired.
i just use a pump to do oil changes - its been that way about two years / yes - i'm a lazy bastid!
pushrod tubes weep.
only one heated grip working.
speedo - stuck / milometer (well, KILOmeter clock) works - comes with an old GPS for a speedo.
other than that (?! ) she's in good order.

it handles bloody well, has been extremely reliable, is cosmetically good.

Here's what i'd like;
Swop for a lighter bike with luggage potential - ideally, a Givi Wingrack, that will keep up with GS’s on a boreen run.

EVERYthing considered / Timmys rule does not apply / Kaisters Observation* probably will.

I hate them that p!ss about, so though reluctant as i must put a price on - this is it; €2350 / £2000

Would much prefer to swop.
I need a Bike plus about €1200 / £1000 my way for this to work.

Can deliver anywhere for expenses.
more pics will follow. anything i put up now is not recent.

*Kaisters Observation;
If things don't sell...
...reasonably quickly….
…. then the price is too high

which is....
fair enough.
