BMW K-Series description
2007 BMW K1200GT – Damaged, Easy Fix 23.8k Miles Clean California Title in Hand Dark Charcoal/Silver ABS EASII Heated Seats Front/Rear Heated Grips Power Seats Cruise Control Power Windshield Trip Computer Alarm System – Includes both Key Fob’s Owner’s Manual Factory Matching Pannier's (Side Luggage Cases) and 41 Liter Top Case - Available, Not Included Aftermarket Equipment: Fresh V Stream Windshield New Barnett Clutch Ball Bearing Shift Linkage Workshop Manual
The Background This bike has been properly maintained since new and has had all of the updates, and especially important a new ABS module. Prior my accident (some fool cut in front of me!!!@#$%^), it rode and ran beautifully, and was in stellar cosmetic condition too.
I never had any problem with it other than the clutch making a screeching noise, which was nicely resolved with a new Barnet Clutch pack and some added oil vent holes in the clutch basket. These bikes aren’t known to be really nice shifting, but between the added ball bearing shift linkage, and the Barnett clutch…….I couldn’t complain, it shifted every bit as well as my older K bikes. The blogs cite a variety of complaints…….this bike exhibited none except the poor shifting which was resolved.
I’m a mechanical engineer, 40 year motorcycle enthusiast and multi BMW K bike owner, and I bought this bike for myself……..I was very happy with it and would probably repair the collision damage myself because the economics really favor it, but I broke both hands and both wrists badly when going down and it will be a while before I can really turn a wrench and ride. So I’m selling it.

Damages Upon the low speed impact to the left rear of the offending car, the right lip of the bikes’ front wheel caught the rear rim of the car causing the main damages. Then the bike went down on its right side. You can see this in the pictures. Based upon my inspection it needs the following parts: Parts To Run and Ride: · Front Rim – the tire is fine as are all of the brake and axel parts · Lower Fork – disconnected from the linkage on top · Radiator – small crack at upper mount, right side · Head Light – its cracked Cosmetic Parts:
As-Is While I have done my best to describe the damages, I can’t take responsibility for any parts it may need or any damage I’ve failed to describe completely. You are buying AS-IS. Additionally, while I have the CA title in hand and in my name of course, you’ll have to judge for yourself the possibility that the pink slip may be branded in the future. The insurance company never took possession of the bike.
If you are reasonably handy, and have the time to hunt down the used parts (which are cheap, especially if buy from private sellers), you can have a great bike cheap! I’ll add that the BMW paint is easily and impeccably matched out of the can via auto paint/body supply stores. I’ve done it, and especially recommend the water based PPG Envirobase color coat……it matches and works incredibly well.
