Hi, I'm looking to buy a nice 1100S. Searching eBay, MCN and Bike Trader regularly.
This one caught my eye...
ULTIMATE SPEC

I contacted the seller:
Could you please let me know more about the Supercup aspects of the bike? What are the "Various other goodies"? Is the exhaust a factory one? Does it have heated grips? How many previous owners? How long have you had it? Any faults? Any Tax? Is the bike currently being used?

Any comments? Anyone know this bike? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? Reasons? Suggestions?
Please point me in the right direction if you know of a goodun being sold elsewhere.
That bike was advertised on fleebay last year about when i was looking for one but the south coast was a bit too far away,i wonder why it didn't sell then??
Thanks for your thoughts. The bike was relisted, no bidders first time round. I can't see why? Makes me a bit wary... Maybe give it a miss.
Al, moniker is a nod to a domestic i worked with at the hospital. She made tea so weak you'd swear she only put one teabag in the pot. Everyone, even her mum, calls her Onebag now!
That looks a nice bike onebag,its done about 9k a year so it's well used which is not a bad thing and it's got fsh which again is not bad,i always find it's best to take a knowledgable mate with you coz he'll see things that youv'e missed!
Sorry onebag my maths were a bit wrong there,it's done more like 12k a year so watch out for the typical salt damage on the fork legs and the bottom yoke and the belt casing behind the front wheel and as you rightly said the more you get to know about 1100's the more there is to know if you know wot i mean
