This is a nice , low mile example of a good solid 70s airhead. The bike starts and runs great. It has been converted to dual plug at some point. It has set up for a bit prior to me getting it ready for sale so it will need your standard fluid change of your choice and should be ready to go. The bike has been repainted in what looks pretty close to the factory Monza blue at some point in its life. It looks good and shines well. The bike has a Vetter faring installed thats in great shape. It could be removed easily if thats not your thing. Youll just need the headlight lens, trim ring, and blinkers from a stock bike as I do not have these parts. The wheels and spokes look good but the tires do need to be replaced. Instead of changing them, I decided to let the new owner pick his or her brand out for themselves and have adjusted the price accordingly. The fork boots are a little dry as well and I would replace them the next time I serviced the forks or while I had the front tire off. I dont know much about the bikes history other than it was owned by a very good friend that recently passed. I have a book with some paperwork that will come with the bike as well as several sets of keys. I have the keys for the Vetter fairing, and extra ignition key, a fork lock key, keys for the Samsonite luggage, and a few more bits that come with it as well. The luggage is in great shape and is a nice addition to the bike. There is no tool kit but the air pump is there.
This seems to be a very good bike needs little to just ride and have fun. Im selling the bike no reserve. The high bidder at the end gets it. That being said it is a 39 year old bike and comes with no guarantees/ warranties expressed or implied. A local inspection is welcomed and recommended prior to bidding. Payment is due via cashiers check, bank wire, or cash in person. All funds must clear my bank before the bike or title will be released. The bike must be paid for in full within 5 days of the acutions end and a $500 non refundable deposit is due within 12 hours. Arrangement for the remainder need to be handled within the 12 hours as well. The bike must be picked up within 3 weeks of auctions end or storage fees will apply . The title is a open Indiana title in my friends name. Ive tried to take plenty of pictures to show the true condition of the bike. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding as I want no surprises on either end. Thanks
Keeping the shiny bits shiny
There is sound logic behind popping a bottle of your favorite suds, saddling up next to your bike after a Sunday ride, and going over every shiny bit of chrome with a soft cloth to ensure its gleaming. Protecting your motorcycle’s chrome is about getting ahead of the game with preventative maintenance, ensuring that all the glistening chrome-plated components can continue to thrive for years. In this article, we’ll discuss the nitty-gritty related to chrome, from why it’s used to how owners can keep it in excellent shape.
You might not be able to find them at your dealer yet, but BMW’s S1000RR and Honda’s Fury already have dedicated on-line forums. If you’re looking to get all the latest dirt on the new Beemer, just head over to the BMW S1000RR FORUM. Likewise, if you want to discuss anything about the yet to be released Fury, just head over to the HONDA FURY FORUM.
As we reported in August, BMW is replacing its F800ST sport tourer with a new, more touring-oriented version called the F800GT. Revealed at the 2012 EICMA Show in Milan, Italy, the 2013 BMW F800ST is equipped with a 798cc parallel Twin engine claiming 88 hp at 8000rpm, an increase from the BMW F800ST’s claim of 84 hp at 8000rpm (the 2012 F700GS and F800GS also claims 84hp from a similar engine.)
Other changes include better wind protection, lighter wheels, new higher-mounted handlebars, repositioned footrests, and load capacity increased to 456 pounds from 432 pounds. Like all current BMW motorcycles, the F800GT comes standard with ABS.
