BMW R-Series description

For sale is my low mileage, well equipped 2011 R1200GS.  It is one of the Special Edition triple black models which includes a sapphire black body color, black cross spoke wheels, asphalt grey metallic swing arm, rear frame and valve covers and black front forks and engine.  The Special Edition includes the Premium Package equipment - Enduro ESA (electronic suspension adjustment), ABS, heated grips, on-board computer, hand protection and saddle bag mounts. It's a great looking bike.

Seasoned riders know that while the GS provides an excellent starting point it needs a few goodies to be well equipped. I've stayed with high quality after market suppliers to make this bike highly functional and practical. No bling here.

Add-ons include:

AltRider crash bars
AltRider skid plate
Pivot Pegs (MK3 wide)
Rox pivoting 2" handlebar riser
Kaoko cruise control
Garmin ZUMO 550 GPS with hard wired mount and a Centech fuse panel
Battery Tender charger with a direct battery connector
Touratech large side stand foot
Touratech pannier top bags
Touratech Kahedo low seat
BMW vario panniers
BMW Motorrad large tank bag
BMW Motorrad large softbag tail case
Wilbers WESA front and rear suspension (see below)

The add-ons cost $5,800.

I've been riding motorcycles for 52 years so I know what I want and how I ride.  I'm also "vertically challenged" so over the years I've done many variations on seat and/or suspension tweaks.  On a tall bike like the GS I didn't want to be paddling around on the soles of my feet.  The standard GS suspension is just OK so I went with a custom Wilbers setup. I encourage you to check out their reviews.

I was able to drop the suspension 65 mm (about 2.5 in) while improving the ride and maintaining complete ESA functionality.  In the real world this means any rider with about a 30" inseam or less (down to about 27") can flat foot this bike through seat/suspension adjustments.  The bike still has plenty of ground clearance.  Even an expert, aggressive rider would have difficulty dragging the pegs.  I am also including the original BMW shocks/springs and seats.

I'm in my sixties now and have realized I just don't ride like I used to.  The bike is in outstanding condition mechanically and cosmetically.  No accidents or drops.  The only mark is a minor scuff on the left side pannier cover from a klutzy parking move.

I'm located about 30 miles from Knoxville, TN and will do anything reasonable to help with delivery.  Inspections are welcome.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

Could This Innovative New Light Save Your Life?

Thu, 19 Aug 2010

Everyone knows brake lights are to alert drivers behind you, but what about when you roll off the throttle, and tailgating drivers fail to notice your decreasing rate of speed? Would you like them to know you’re decelerating, rather than potentially becoming another statistic? Nikkos Designs of Fort Myers, Fla.

2014 BMW R1200RT Spied Testing

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

With the new 2013 BMW R1200GS now launching worldwide, it really should be no surprise BMW is working on more models using the GS’s new liquid-cooled boxer engine. A contributor to French site MotoMag happened upon a crew of test riders on heavily camouflaged test mules of what appears to be the 2014 BMW R1200RT. The swirly camo pattern does little to hide the new “precision cooling” liquid-cooled engine, easily identified by the pipes exiting from the bottom of the cylinders.
