BMW Other description

I am going to be honest here, I am only selling this bike because we need more room in the garage. This is the same Bike model that Nate Kerns made Famous. I personally love this bike for many reasons. 1st. Its a BMW... It is Bulletproof. The longevity of the R1200 motor is practically legendary. 2nd looks, Ok, its not a Ducati, but look at the bikes overall styling. I had to drive 2 hours to pick this up. and as I drove home with it on the trailer, It staring at me, it really stared to grow on me. The rear swingarm and wheel is my favorite part. Next handling, It is a heavy bike, but it doesn't handle that way. I keep up with my friends on Ducati Superbikes all day with this baby.. In the corners in the mountains, Im usually faster. The bike is very well balanced. And it is comfortable as well. 1 more thing i have on my friends.. I can go all day and they are complaining about how they need to "stretch." It is a great "2-up" (good for a passenger) bike as well I have only mildly modified this bike. A full Remus Titanium Exhaust (with stainless Headers), An MWR High Efficiency Airfilter (if you have not seen these and already own a R1200 bike, you need one!), R&G racing, Swingarm protector, Axle Protector, and Carbon Fiber-Kevlar Cylinder Head Protectors. I also swapped out the clutch with a C2 Slipper Clutch. (if you are not familiar with a slipper or "anti-hopping" Clutch what they do is keep your rear wheel planted when you shift at high RPM.. no Hopping means you will keep traction, Making you safer, and this makes you faster). The Bike Does not have ANTILOCKING BRAKES (adds about 2-three pounds and it is a race bike after all) or warmed handlebar grips (do you really need them?) and yes, no Ohlins either, but seriously, the Sachs is just as good. The only real detractor is it does have the 5.5 in wide rear wheel which means you cannot run the wider 190 rear tire (need the 6.0 rear), but honestly the maneuverability of the 180 is good enough that its not a problem in my book! This is a great bike and it will be an absolute blast for a future lucky guy (or gal)! It will leave a hole in my garage, but its ok, maybe we can finally park a car in there... Title is in hand so no waiting on that either

Vines motorcycle scrappage

Fri, 17 Jul 2009

  Following this year’s earlier Budget announcement about the government’s car scrappage scheme, Vines of Guildford BMW has created a similar scheme for motorcycles. Bike owners with motorcycles bought five or more years ago will be given £1,000 off the list price of a new BMW motorcycle when using their old bike as a part-exchange*.  Riders just need to ensure they have at least six months MOT left and the bike must be taxed with clear HPI.  Just like the Government’s car scrappage scheme has been put in place to help drivers, and the car industry, through tough economic times, Vines of Guildford wanted to offer motorcyclists the same opportunity, to purchase a brand new BMW motorcycle with the benefit of the £1,000 part exchange. As well as enjoying this benefit on the purchase price of a new BMW bike, riders can also look forward to complimentary panniers with all new R1200GS and R1200GS Adventure models, and complimentary Zumo sat nav system with the new R1200RT until 30 Sept, plus access to BMW’s Select Finance options to get riders on their bikes straight away with the option to change their new bike every two to three years.
