BMW R-Series description
The last year of the domestically sold airheads. This is my second Paris Dakar, 6th airhead GS (91-95), and the cleanest I have owned. I purchased the bike last April with 12,000 miles on the odometer for a cross-country trip. I put approximately 5,000 miles on the bike, and it served its purpose well. I believe I am the third owner. It runs great and has had a recent tune-up and brake service completed. I told myself that I will always own at least one, and since it is sitting next to a 94 bumble bee, one has to go. The reason for the PD was after my trip I learned that the large tank is simply a novelty that I personally don't need, and I am not too fond of the color scheme. It is definitely a bike for the purists. The bike is in great condition. It has minor wear on the tank where it meets the seat, other than that it is cosmetically very clean, mechanically sound, and ready to go anywhere. It truly is a beautiful bike that has been very well taken care of, always garaged, meticulously detailed, and started regularly, which is precisely the reason I need to sell it. I found myself in the same position as the previous owners, and simply want to keep it garaged. To my knowledge it has never been taken off-road. It runs great and has had a recent tune-up and brake service completed. It is all stock and ready to go anywhere, or be added to a collection. The bike comes with a set of new Touratech Bags that I purchased for the trip, and therefore are virtually new. I will also throw in a black seat cover to replace the hideous red seat. Since the bike is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Buyer is responsible for transporting fees.
