BMW R-Series description

2004 BMW R1150RT

additional pics:
apparently eBay is can't figure out how to use Google Photos links.  If you're seriously interested in this bike, please contact me and I'll send link via email.


bike is sold as-is wear appropriate for a motorcycle with 27k miles

I am 2nd adult owner -- purchased from original adult SoCal owner at ~12,000 miles.

* factory dual power outlets for rider/passenger electric vests, etc.
* factory heated grips
* factory adjustable height windshield
* throttlemeister speed control
* Sargent custom front/rear seat (see Items of Note below)
* dual-USB power outlet at handlebars
* sale includes Garmin navigation system powered by USB
* ~2000 miles on front/rear Dunlap Sportmax Roadsmarts

Not pictured but included: 
   - BMW original side and top panniers
   - Givi E55  ( major scuffs from storage ) with wireless unlock
      - top rack and back rest
      - Givi rear rack currently installed
         - i.e. if you want to use BMW rear pannier you will need BMW mounting hardware
         - I switched the Givi E55 between this BMW and my Ducati MultiStrada

Maintenance (per BMW schedule) since my ownership performed by BMW cert techs at DesmotoSport in San Francisco.  Complete suspension overhaul (front forks inserts/springs), rear Ohlin refresh) at 24k mi.

Items of Note:
* left mirror has roadrash related to my perception of reality
      ( see additional pics )
* paint discoloration below (riders) left hand side of front lamp
   - paint is dull; at close range appears bronze/gold; no mech has been able to explain
   - I am unable to create an image that accurately shows the discoloration
        - in other words it's hard to see
* ~3" scratch below left front lamp; see included pictures, look close
* Sargent front seat needs repair
   - orig owner installed back rest but cut tab securing front seat to frame in process
       - seat must be sent to Sargent to restore tab; fix is $75 + shipping to/from
         - I have ridden 16k miles with seat unsecured.
             - original front and back seat included with sale
* PIAA driving lights work great when working but burn fuses; will need further assessment

This bike rides like a dream.  Since relocating from the SF Bay area I just don't ride enough to justify.  When I lived in SF I rode up/down the peninsula ( skyline / santa cruz, hwy 1, hwy 9, etc).  In between jobs I took this bike through Northern Northern California, Utah, Death Valley and back.  With the 1149cc engine this bike produces enough torque to haul whatever amount of gear you want to pack the panniers with.  The BMW 1150RT frame is stiff enough perform through the twisties with ease.

Buyer responsible for logistics but I will provide reasonable support with your shipper.  I will also offer pick up service from Reno (RNO) airport if you want to fly in and ride bike home.

Milan Show: Moto2 tried and tested

Tue, 02 Nov 2010

The insanity of Moto2 doesn't seem like the right home for the elegance of the Rizoma brand. But the Rizoma ProGuard system has helped secure the levers of Toni Elias on his road to championship success in the inaugural Moto2 season. The example above was on an attractive Rizoma-enhanced BMW S1000RR, but the lever guards are not limited to sports bikes, they were also visible on Yamaha's FZ8.  The patented design can tilt up to 10 degrees providing full lever coverage and can be added by simply replacing the bike's existing bar-ends.

BMW Standardizes Switches

Thu, 23 Oct 2008

Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isn’t your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.

Globetrotting Vespa Takes Final 800-Mile Journey to Piaggio Foundation Museum – Video

Thu, 24 May 2012

When you think of making a round-the-world motorcycle tour, you usually think of an adventure touring bike like the BMW R1200GS à la Ewen McGregor and Charley Boorman in “Long Way Round“. Sean Jordan, a Canadian expatriate living in Budapest, Hungary, had a different steed in mind: a Vespa P200E scooter. On Dec.
