I brought this ex CHP R1200RTP home for a couple of days in expectation of checking it out in detail before committing to purchase. It only has 28,000 miles on it and cosmetically it’s in great shape. A late production date 2013, it had what the seller described as a miss under acceleration I thought would be easy to set right and probably would be. A diagnostic check of the electrical system revealed several trouble codes and the engine management computer VIN did not match the frame VIN. It must have been switched for a faulty one or to see if it would fix the miss under load condition. These things (police bikes) already have an unknown past so I passed on keeping it but as an asking price $3000 project bike it could work out for someone willing and able to sort out the clipped wires to the removed authority accessories. The bike has a fair condition value twice the asking price.
I had ridden my 2007 RT over to the seller’s garage and left it there when I rode the ‘13 to my place and I have to say that when I rode the 36 miles home on my bike it was like slipping on a favorite pair of jeans.
