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.

2011-2013 BMW F800GS and F700GS Recalled in Canada

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

Transport Canada announced a recall for the 2011-2013 BMW F800GS and the 2013 F700GS because of a problem with the kickstand ignition cut-off switch. The switch is designed to turn off the engine when the stand is down and the motorcycle is shifted into gear; this prevents the motorcycle from being ridden with the kickstand deployed. On certain BMW F800GS and F700GS models however, the cut-off switch can loosen and become damaged.

Go camping with your bike

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Keep your bike close to you when you go camping with the MOTOTENT from motorcycle adventurers Lone Rider. Priced at £450, here's a round-up of the features from Lone Rider: The MOTOTENT is spacious enough to shelter a dual sport bike as big a BMW R1200 GSA with all its luggage, to have room to work on it, and to be able to stand in the tent. The tunnel-shaped design allows a very quick setup of the tent when needed.
