What a bushpig.
Also "falters on midrange" = expensive. I've been there with a Tedium.

There was a TDM on the DB1k 2011. Very much like that one - same rear tyre but lights and front end different. Guy was from Rotorua so could well be it.

Later TDM 850's had the 270 degree crank like the TRX so would sound similar. Suspect the 1991 had the 360 crank like the XTZ750 though. The para twins sound nice though. Bro's XTZ750 with an arrow exhaust without the baffle = (but then again maybe I'm a bit boring).

Errrrr, yep, that's a whole lotta kms (or miles in this case). He has doen some maintenance tho.

This http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/List...x?id=463404945 on the other hand, was a bargain for someone, $3400 wow

No, not boring.. My MKII has Kerkers on it & it sounds the berries if you like the sound of big twins banging. Only bike I have ever been complimented on the sound on, even by Ducati riders

Actually no not really - well maybe $500 or so but most things would have been replaced. It's pretty tidy.

Not really. Once they are over 100,000 km's the mileage is pretty irrelevant as long as it's mechanically sound.

I stand corrected then, mmmmm...this humble pie actually tastes pretty good

The "maintenance" listed is trivial stuff, the sort of thing that gets done routinely when doing the annual check of an older 2 valve twin. Certainly nothing material relating to making good the effect of 375,000 km. Work of some description must have been done by the previous owner though - gearbox would not have got past 100k or so without the circlip modification for a start, neither would exhaust valves get far past this. BMW's do last if looked after but this is big miles.

If it has indeed done 375,000 km $5000 is well overpriced in my view. You certainly get a lot better value with a non GS!
