So I am offering up for sale my trusty 2007 BMW R1200 GS.
I am the third owner I believe. I bought it in 2015 from another TWT member with about 17K miles on it.
This is NOT a garage queen, but it has been taken care of and is ready to go anywhere! There are no outstanding recalls or service bulletins on it that I am aware of. I can provide VIN so dealer can check. After I bought it, I had the rear wheel hub recall done and a new oil sight glass installed because the original was leaking.
I've always run Mobile 1 full synthetic in it.
I have a clear Texas title in hand in my name.
I DO NOT have the stock exhaust, grab rails, seat, or tool kit. The bike did not have the OEM kit when I bought it. So my general tool kit does not go with it, just the bits specific to this bike. I do have the BMW spark plug socket, the funky little tools for removing the oil filler cap, and the spark plug pulling gadget.
The tires are at the end of their life. I have another TKC 80 front about half used and a Shinko 805 rear half used that I will mount if desired. Or, I will just give them to you. I like to start trips with a new set of tires, so these are just tires I removed before my last trip. I usually remount them to use them up once the tires from the trip are gone.
[EDIT: New Shinko 805 rear and TKC 80 front mounted two weeks ago. Bike has been ridden once since then. Mileage is not going up as I have a new bike now.]
Asking price: $7000
The big picture (tail bag NOT included, but all mounting brackets included.)
Miles: 37954 (I still ride it, so this will go up some).
Rear Ohlins: rebuilt by certified Ohlin tech (Motorcycles Unlimited) in 2017, maybe 5K miles ago.
Front Ohlins: rebuilt by certified Ohlins tech in 2017, maybe 2500 miles ago. Spanner tool to adjust preload included.
55W Piaa floods and Moto Light running lights (also floods).
Cool sticker on screen will be removed. That is the screen off an Adventure model GS. Same for the little side deflectors on each side. Also the GSA "beak" on the front fender. The black spot on the left side of the fender behind the beak is the only serious cosmetic blemish on the bike. I wasn't paying attention and got a bit too close with a power washer and it hit a rock chip in the clear coat and stripped it almost instantly. It is purely cosmetic, no damage to the fender. I just haven't bothered to get it painted and it's never gotten worse.
Close up of the missing paint.
Oil cooler guard, metal, brand unknown. BOTH head lights upgraded to Cyclops LEDs, VERY bright and MUCH better than stock lights!!
I fell down on Cow Creek road on a SLICK water crossing at about 5mph. It scraped the windshield. I replaced the right blinker with a new one.
The metal bar is slightly bent on the right side, kind of hard to see, but it is there, so in the interest of full disclosure...
Handle bars were NOT bent in the drop. The handguards were bent. I replaced them with new guards on both sides.
2" Rox risers make standing while riding VERY nice and comfy! Also, very adjustable.
Foam grip wraps make the grip far more comfy for my hands, work great with the heated grips, easily removed.
The drop on Cow Creek Rd., bent my crash bars. So I replaced them with new SW Motech bars. The bars hit the head guard on the right side and bent it. The bars and guard did their job and the actual head is fine.
Left head and cover
Alt-Rider bash plate I think? Was on there when I bought it.
BMW Adventure bag mounting racks. BMW aluminum adventure side bags ONLY, included in sale. Will show pics in later post.
Throttle position sensor guard - Touratech I think? Alt-Rider maybe?
Ztechnik Titanium pipe (catalytic converter still in place) - nice sound!
Plug for heated gear, was for my passengers, but can also work for rider
Charging pigtail for battery on left side above foot peg, tucks behind frame
BMW power socket under rear of rider seat on left side (stock option)
BMW plug on left side of dash
Controls for aux lights on left side of handle bar
No idea on brand, but nice wide pegs for comfy standing for hours on end if you like. Cleats can be raised or lowered with allen wrench to rider's preference.
Close up of the small wind deflectors on each side of main screen.
Sargent custom seat front and back with matching red piping. Fake carbon fiber pattern. VERY comfy for rider AND pillion!
Bar end throttle lock, can remember brand. Twist back to lock, twist forward to unlock. Just a friction lock easily over ridden in a panic situation.
Alt-Rider kick stand foot extension pad to keep stand from sinking into ground.
Next post will have action shots
