Hello, I am selling my 2002 1150gsa, 54,110 miles, much to my sorrow she is just too tall for me. The bike has a clean title from Alaska, and is currently hiding out in Meadview Arizona.
Battery is brand new, tires have under 3500 miles, as do the Ohlin shocks (1 1/2" under) and new windshield. The factory low seat was bought used, but it's in great shape, with factory tool kit strapped to the bottom. The Hella Micro DE Lamps are controlled by a push switch on the left hand grip. All 3 Pelican cases use the same key and are easily removed from the aftermarket carrier. The aftermarket exhaust provides for extra power, not that this beast really needs anymore power! There is a hard copy of the service book as well as printouts of some very good service tips from some BMW forum's, also dealer service reports are included in the binder. Lots of spare cables etc as recommended by LONG distance riders. The lowered shocks caused me to figure that the center stand might be too tall, so I cut it apart, welded in an adjustable section to it, so if nessisary it could be brought back up to full height. Also, there is some superficial damage to the right side of the fuel tank and engine guard, crack in the mirror too! She came that way, not that I haven't dropped the bike myself (stopped and, again, bike is too tall for me) The gas tank disconnects have been upgraded to SS quick disconnects. The extra DC power center has several open fuses. K&N fuel filter added, and the vapor recovery stuff is long gone. If you are looking for the ultimate dual purpose bike, already set up to go, this this is IT. People of short inseam should NOT buy this bike, unless you build up the soles of your boots (maybe?) I can load the bike if you are going to ship it, could also pick someone up in Las Vegas if you want to ride home (figure $100 for gas) please feel free to email with any questions, additional photos or whatever. |

Kevin Ash, one year on
Wed, 08 Jan 2014I’ve lost dozens of friends in bike racing over the years, and while each death was a shock and incredibly sad, I’ve always had some kind of internal coping mechanism that allowed me to carry on relatively unaffected. Maybe it’s because I was always extremely passionate and committed when taking part in my dangerous sport so was also prepared to pay the ultimate price should things go wrong. Rightly or wrongly I’ve taken comfort from the fact that these unfortunate racers have checked out while doing something they love. I’ve also lost a few journalist friends in bike accidents over the years but for some reason these have hit me harder. The worst and possibly as it is the most recent is Kevin Ash who was killed last January while on a BMW launch in South Africa. Starting in 2001, over a period of ten years, I was in Kevin’s company on countless new bike launches in pretty much every corner of the world. At times he was cocky and occasionally irritating but always entertaining with a wicked sense of humour. He was many things but no one can deny he was a brilliant journalist and his technical knowledge was second to none. I always appreciated his complete enthusiasm to all things biking as he would ride through any weather on a daily basis to jobs or airports and seemed to always be tinkering with winter projects (mainly Ducatis) at home. I also admired how much work he got through as he had columns in more than one weekly publication plus all his launch and web work. He was a competent safe rider who was certainly quick enough to evaluate any new bike thrown his way. Kevin also drove a Porsche but then none of us are perfect! I looked to Kevin as a wise Owl so not long after I started working with TWO/ Visordown, I asked him on an R1 launch in Australia he thought the motorcycle industry was currently in a good place. His reply was, ‘we’ve just been flown here business class, been taken by speed boat to our five star hotel under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Yamaha have wined and dined us and furnished us with expensive gifts each day, what do you think Niall? How times have changed. On the subject on air travel he once told me, ‘when travelling business or first class it’s not about the pampering, comfy beds or fine dining, the important part is looking smug as you walk straight past all the people lining up at the cattle class check in! On more than one occasion I had food or drink spurt out when Kevin would deliver unexpected one line funnies at the dinner table.
BMW S1000RR drag bike
Fri, 05 Apr 2013Whilst stretched out bikes aren't that popular over here in the UK, you can certainly appreciate them a whole lot more more when you know they're going to be used at a drag strip. This video shows bike builder and ex-racer Roland Sands work his magic on a BMW S1000RR. Future plans are to increase the engine to 300bhp, and achieve speeds of 220mph.
2015 BMW K1600GT and K1600GTL Get Traction Control as Standard Equipment
Fri, 04 Jul 2014BMW is updating its big six-cylinder touring bikes with traction control as standard equipment and a number of new optional add-ons including keyless remote ignition. Previously available as part of BMW’s factory-installed Safety Package option, the Dynamic Traction Control system will now be standard on all 2015 K1600GT and K1600GTL models. The system continuously monitors rear wheel traction during acceleration, stepping in when it senses excessive wheel spin.
