Ffs who cares :laugh:

We all know the 800gs is the better bike (thumbs)

All we need now is someone to mention the ccm

get a 950 to do 47 mpg, then we can discuss how good they were :laugh:

Late reply but is 211 miles on 18 litres ok? I've sold it now but my early 950 regularly did over 50mpg, strangely if you dawdled around on it you got less mpg than if you ragged it :S
The 1050 Adv that replaced it is doing over 60mpg on a run but is usually around 55mpg. All on road of course, once your off road mpg goes out the window.
As to the AT, nice looking bike and certainly works ok off road and on road, similar power to my 1050 and I've never thought that lacked power in 2.5k miles so each to their own, I prefer KTM's, Some prefer BMW's and some Honda's. My wife would like one of the new AT's to go along side her old AT and I'd challenge anyone to try keeping up with her on her old one!

Saw that at the weekend.

It's not badly damaged at all, and if a few scratches dont bother you it would be an ok buy for someone. However if you bought it and wanted to hide its past Id say it needs an absolute minimum of £2,000 and quite possibly a lot more to make it tidy.

Paint flaking off in quite a few places as well as missing parts.

Personally I'd pay a bit extra and get a low mile minter (loads about) unless it was gonna be a rally bike or something.
