BMW R-Series description

Selling my BMW ( originally a R100RT )
I bought this motorcycle approx 3 years ago.
The previous owner modified ( cosmetically ) to look
more like a Cafe look.
I have never had a problem mechanically and this bike starts
right up, every time. ( electric )
Yes, it has nicks / scrapes/ dings / paint touch up / seat has been re-configured and shortened, but the bike is a very reliable ride.
Due to knee surgery just cant risk keeping this bike
Just has to go.
