BMW R-Series description

Very clean and original touring model with only 7,000 miles!  The bike was recently acquired from the original owner who has retired from riding.  Original owner had the frame, wheels and miscellaneous mounting brackets professionally repainted/powder coated.  There are many new factory parts installed and included with the sale.  All bike components and systems are fully functional and in good working order!

The bike is painted the factory original magenta-red color and does have chips, scratches and fading.  Only non original parts are a) rear shocks, b) dash headlight mounted switch and c) new Interstate AGM sealed battery.  Period correct Konis are installed and work well.  The original Nivomat shocks are included with the sale however they are not 'pumping up'.  Wiring of aftermarket headlight switch maybe reconfigured to the original control switch. 

The 1983 models are the most technically advanced twin shock BMWs and this bike, due to mileage and condition, will make an excellent long distance traveler, or member of a collection, or a great platform for a naked, cafe', or custom bike conversion.

All questions will be thoughtfully answered.

Epic biking holidays - of a lifetime?

Mon, 31 Jan 2011

I never had the rudimentary gap year traveling before university, seeing it as a bit of a cliché I set upon knuckling down with my studies and getting a degree. I never had that moment of discovery and finding out 'who I really am' and to some extent it's a regret. But I'm feeling inspired and the inspiration comes from two adventures offered by Compass Expeditions.
