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.

California Titled, Nevada Registered

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.

New naked BMW spotted on track days

Sat, 03 Sep 2016

The future generation of the "1-liter" naked BMW S1000R was spotted during the development tests on the territory of the German racing "ring" Oschersleben. Apparently, the Bavarian streetfighter will receive a number of technical solutions that his older brother, the BMW S1000RR, was endowed with a couple of years ago. Just as the current generation of the SR was created on the base of the previous SR-era, the 2017 modification will actually become a stripped version of today's sportbike.

2012 BMW C600 Sport and C650GT Scooter Preview

Tue, 08 Nov 2011

While Japanese OEMs persist in their cautiousness, BMW continues its assault on new markets, most recently with its incredible S1000RR literbike. Over the past four years, the German company has nearly doubled its 500cc-plus market share from about 7% to 13%, and the 2011 model year is on pace to set a sales record of more than 103,000 motorcycles. For 2012, BMW enters the lucrative scooter segment with a pair of twin-cylinder maxi-scoots claimed to combine the agility and comfort of a scooter with the riding qualities of a motorcycle.

AMA Superbike: 2012 Daytona Results

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

Josh Hayes and Blake Young picked things up where they left off by trading wins at the 2012 season-opening AMA Superbike round at Daytona International Speedway. Reigning champion Hayes of Monster Energy Graves Yamaha took the first race handily, leading almost right from the start of the 15-lap race for the win. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Young, who finished second to Hayes in the 2011 AMA Superbike Championship, responded by taking the second race, but only by a slim 0.002-second margin.
