SOLD: '08 R1200 GS

SOLD off another forum. Thanks for everyone's interest and comments.




Considering selling my GS.

Selling my 2008 BMW R1200 GS motorcycle. It comes with heated grips, trip computer, crash bars, front fender "beak", full luggage, hand guards, J&M cb radio with input for your iPod/phone, PIAA driving lights, corbin driver's saddle and stock seats. I currently have a 52 Litre GIVI trunk which holds two full face helmets which I replace with the matching BMW trunk which unfortunately hangs when expanded to full size. It's easy to work around, but thought I'd mention it. I am negotiable about including the GIVI trunk, and we can discuss the price difference upon sale of the bike. There is also a GIVI aftermarket windshield with winglets which really make the bike road worthy, and a trailer hitch should you decide to pull a trailer with it. Finaally, it comes with spoked wheels which usually come on the upgraded "Adventure" model of this bike. They are lighter and stronger than the cast wheels you usually find on this bike. It has around 12,000 miles and is a great touring machine. I have clear title on the bike in hand and am ready to deal. No test rides unless I'm holding a boatload of cash in my hand. Rest assured that this bike is tall and while it is light, it can be a little intimidating without the proper inseam to handle it. The tires have maybe 2000 miles on them so you are good to go for several thousand more before looking at another set. I am the second owner and am pretty sure he always kept it indoors. While I've had it, it's always been in my bike shed on a battery tender which I will include with the sale of the bike also. If after posting I think of anything else, I will edit this ad.

It's on craigslist (UGH) for an exorbitant $15000. Here on TWT, I am quite negotiable. I'm thinking somewhere between $13000 and $14000. Handsome Assistant Principal in pic not included. PM or email me with any questions and I'll be happy to answer as needed.

Thanks JD. I'm really torn about this to be the truth but I'm looking forward to moving ahead. Ride safe.

Re: '08 R1200 GS

Just curious what kind of trailer you pulled with it?

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Eph 4:29 (NIV)
Think before you post. Leave out the vulgarity, personal attacks and foul language!

Quote:
Lies are fragile. They require constant attentiveness to keep them alive. The exposure of a single truth can rip through an ocean of lies, evaporating it instantly. - Brandon Smith

If you want government to intervene domestically, you’re a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you’re a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you’re a moderate. If you don’t want government to intervene anywhere, you’re an extremist. — Joe Sobran

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.' But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance. – Murray N. Rothbard

When one possessed of the Truth suffers from a heavy heart he is susceptible to a more dangerous affliction — the craving for power to eradicate error, to cause Truth to triumph by force. - Frank Chodorov

Where politicians flourish, long history has harshly taught us, people and their liberty wither. Where the state is god and the "public interest" worshipped, individual man will be found bleeding upon the altar. - Karl Hess

The accepted wisdom is that without the state, society would collapse into lawlessness and crime. In fact, lawlessness and crime define the very nature of the state and the society organized by it. - Bionic Mosquito

But the myth of the rule of law does more than render the people submissive to state authority; it also turns them into the state's accomplices in the exercise of its power. For people who would ordinarily consider it a great evil to deprive individuals of their rights or oppress politically powerless minority groups will respond with patriotic fervor when these same actions are described as upholding the rule of law. - John Hasnas

Re: '08 R1200 GS

What it's capable of pulling and what I pulled are two different things. LOL

I only towed with it two times, once to take the small trailer to Plano for help getting it wired in and once to New Braunfels when I thought camping in a tent on the coldest night of the year would be a really good idea. Trust me, it wasn't. I don't know the make, but here's a pic...

This isn't good for a sale....



I've been riding to work/school all week this last week. I'm seriously considering not selling. It's set up perfectly for me and it's so much fun to ride.

I'm thinking this might not be a bike I'm willing to part with yet?

Re: '08 R1200 GS

Just got back from the Hill Country. It's getting harder and harder to consider selling so I've decided to let the CL ads run their course and then close out. If it sells, OK. If not I certainly won't mind keeping it. It's set up so perfect for me right now.
