BMW F-Series description

Chicago, IL

As a new father, I'm selling my beloved F800GS. It has been well used in the last 4 years but also very well taken care of. It runs like a clock and has been nothing but reliable for 30,000 miles. Regular maintenance and oil changes by both the dealer and myself. Only 4 years old. Totally dependable. To outfit a new bike with the same level and quality of gear you'd spend over $22,000. Bluebook is around 9,000, extras easily bring it to 10,500. 

This bike is adventure ready and proven. It has an auxiliary tank and a range of around 300 miles. It has taken me through Death Valley and up to Deadhorse via the Dalton Highway last summer with no problems. It is great for long highway miles and totally capable offroad. Its size and presence help with visibility when commuting in the city as well.

It has nearly $7000 in accessories but no frivolous farkles! Everything is there for a purpose and meant to strengthen its capabilities as an adventure bike. (with the exception of the short beak, my preference) For example: HyperPro Progressive fork and rear springs settle and improve the OEM set-up for both on road, minimizing front end diving under braking, and off road performance.

Here's the list of add-ons with original cost of items - THESE ARE ALL INCLUDED in the 10,500 selling price.

BMW panniers $1,000
BMW Vario Topbox $450
Garmin Zumo GPS with powered mount $500
Wunderlich Vario Clutch/Brake Levers $330
Wunderlich Tankbag $250
Denali Lights $265 per pair $530
Touratech Desierto Fairing $830
HyperPro progressive front fork springs $200
Hyper pro progressive rear spring $180
Touratech headlight guard $120
Ralle Moto Steering Damper $590
Rox Risers $110
Short Beak Conversion Kit $215
Holan Engine Guards $290
Pivot Pegz $170
Sargent Seat $450
Remus Hexacone Muffler $750
BestRest Shock Bolt support $120
Camel Adv Products Auxiliary Tank $400
Gerbing temp controller and port $80

Also included:

DoubleTake Enduro Mirrors (OEM included)
Cruze Toolkit
Spare clutch and throttle cables (zip tied alongside active cables)
Spare spark plugs
Rotopax fuel containers and mounting system
OEM windshield
OEM muffler
OEM beak
OEM seat
BMW specific spark plug changing tool

Recent additions - this winter:

New TKC 80 tires front and rear
New DID 525 gold chain
New front and rear sprockets
New K&N metal reusable Air Filter
New battery
Fresh oil change and filter
Checked both wheel bearings
New brake pads
auxiliary lights/GPS/heated gear all wired through new Denali Powerhub - clean install

Known issues:
Side stand switch disabled - gear indicator sometimes displays wrong gear which can trick the bike into killing the ignition when the side stand is down. I disabled the switch (which is often disabled anyway as it is a failure point which can cause trouble on when on a trip). Remember to raise the sidestand before departing.
Rims scratched from tire changes - merely aesthetic
Scuffed plastics and engine guards - normal usage

This is a great bike with an adventure pedigree. Still some Dalton Highway dust on it somewhere I'm sure. I trust it with my life. 

In the interest of full disclosure, there was an incident in March 2014 - an RX7 (fully at fault) turned left without yielding and damaged the front end. To be comprehensive, the entire front end was completely replaced with brand new OEM parts, covered by insurance (no penny pinching), and installed and certified by trusted SF BMW Motorrad technicians. This was well before I undertook the 12,235 mile round trip to Alaska last summer. There are ZERO after effects from the incident. No frame deflection. No issues whatsoever. Like I said, I trust this bike with my life, and you can too.
