BMW K-Series description
I have owned this
motorcycle since 2006. It was sold by San Jose BMW new in 1992. This is the low seat model. What this means is that the seat is about an inch lower than the standard model. I am 6' 1" with a 32 inch inseam I don't feel that it is too low. Actually higher than my Road King seat.
As far as I can tell
I am the third owner. (Seller didn't speak much English) The bike presently has
52,492 miles on it. The bike is equipped with a smoked GIVI windshield and a rear backrest/luggage rack. Since I have owned it, the water/oil pump and the heated
grips have been replaced by SJ BMW. I replaced the battery and the starter
relay in 2007. The bike is always kept on a battery tender and stored in my garage when not being ridden. The rear shock and front fork springs have been replaced with
Progressive units. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them. I replaced the
front brake disks in Sept. 2012 along with front and rear brake pads. The rear
master cylinder was replaced in June of this year. There are no signs of rust in the tank. The original owners manual
and tool kit are present. I will include three service manuals. I am selling
because I am moving to Idaho and only have room for one bike. I would not hesitate to jump on this bike and go anywhere.
The only real
flaw I know about is that the front fender paint is faded or was not original to
the bike. There is a chip in the front fender paint that looks like it was covered with touch up. (See pic) Both saddle bags are in good shape but have some minor scuffing on
them. I don't normally have them on the bike.
I know that Dependable Auto shipping has a depot in Hayward CA. I will gladly ride the bike there or the shipper can pick up in Fremont, CA. I will not make any deals outside of EBAY so please don't ask. The parts alone on this bike are worth more than the $900 opening bid.

The solution to a pricey GPS mount
Wed, 26 Aug 2009So you've gone out and bought your BMW R1200GS, you're ready to circumnavigate the globe's toughest roads - or ride over some potholes on your way to work - but you've got a dilemma: no way to mount your GPS device! So what you should do is exactly what this chap's done and use a spatula and a few rubber bands to mount-up your GPS for easy use. And the bonus is that when you get to where you're going, you can use the spatula with your BBQ and triple it up as a fly-swatter too.
S1000RR vs. Goodwood
Sat, 20 Mar 2010And before you say it, no it's not "Start and finish a journey on two wheels without falling off." I rode up Goodwood's hill. And I did it on BMW's mighty S1000RR. Ok, so it wasn't infront of thousands of on-lookers and it wasn't at any great speed.
