This is a great opportunity to own a unique vintage classic. The previous owner painted this bike a Riviera Blue, which was an optional color on some later models. This was the reason I was attracted to this bike. The unique color is drop dead gorgeous. The bike is located in Durham, NC. It's at a BMW dealer who specializes in vintage bikes. It's advertised on his website with more photos: (Bombar's Beemers). Look under 'Vintage Bikes for Sale'. I'm only interested in serious offers who appreciate the character of these bikes. I'm the present owner and I can tell you it's a blast to ride. 

Check NADA price values for this bike. I believe this is a very reasonable price point for this vintage bike.

You'll have to arrange for pickup. I do have an east coast transporter that's very reliable.

Interested buyers can contact me for more details. Regards, Tom

Fri, 27 Apr 2012

Adventure touring documentary star Charley Boorman and his BMW R1200GS Adventure have traveled a long way together, but the motorcycle had a bit of an adventure on its own after thieves stole the bike. The stolen BMW wasn’t the one Boorman rode with Ewen McGregor in “Long Way Round” (that was a R1150GS Adventure) or the one used in the sequel “Long Way Down“. Boorman did ride it on his last project, “Charley Boorman’s Extreme Frontiers: Canada”.
