2004 BMW R1150RT-P (2004)
Up for auction, a very nice 2004 BMW R1150RT-P, set up as a long distance tourer/rally machine with quite a few amenities to that end. This was a blatant copy of some of the features of the bike in the ad that MAX BMW ran, "Anatomy of an Iron Butt Motorcycle". The main aim of this one was to not include all the high-tech computer equipment, as a way to keep weight down but rather the emphasis was on comfort for the 6'6" rider and good visibility at night.2013-09-03 08:11:04Litchfield, Connecticut, US14,3673,750.00 -
