To follow up on the Beemer I bought recently: BMW F650GS
1) The foreign owner in Chiang Rai was not the first owner, he bought the bike used in Bangkok in 2013, since new the bike had foreign owners till 2 years ago. The book and plate were changed from Bangkok to Chiang Rai in 2013.
2) The 27.xxx are actually miles, the original KM cockpit was dead so it was exchanged for a used one in miles, with almost identical mileage to the KM one.
It had been unused for a couple of years and needed some work, in 2013/14 Barcelona Chiang Mai repaired a leaking head gasket and the water pump. The rest of the maintenance work had been done by Mr. See in Chiang Rai who unfortunately passed away.
Actually it has again hardly been used since 2013 and after a good inspection of the bike it does not seem to be messed around with.
My plan is to do all the necessary work like change the dried out tires, change all fluids, replace chain and sprockets and check all the safety systems.
Than the plan is to drive it till something happens and we will see from there what needs to be done.
