This is a great opportunity to own a unique vintage classic. The previous owner painted this bike a Riviera Blue, which was an optional color on some later models. This was the reason I was attracted to this bike. The unique color is drop dead gorgeous. The bike is located in Durham, NC. It's at a BMW dealer who specializes in vintage bikes. It's advertised on his website with more photos: (Bombar's Beemers). Look under 'Vintage Bikes for Sale'. I'm only interested in serious offers who appreciate the character of these bikes. I'm the present owner and I can tell you it's a blast to ride. 

Check NADA price values for this bike. I believe this is a very reasonable price point for this vintage bike.

You'll have to arrange for pickup. I do have an east coast transporter that's very reliable.

Interested buyers can contact me for more details. Regards, Tom
