WB10313059ZU46739

Just another bike, or a Way of Life? For some people it’s a universal tool - whether on a local run, the daily journey to work or weekend trips. For others the "GS" is a way of life - just the right machine for every tour, whether a one-week trip for two into local motorcycling territory or fulfilling the dream of a lifetime thousands of miles away from home. A synthesis of easy handling, supreme touring suitability, off-road potential and comfort for rider and pillion passenger. There’s simply no other motorcycle which does it better. That’s not just what we think: it’s the result of independent tests worldwide. You are bidding on a meticulously maintained ’09 BMW R1200G ABS, factory lowered*, with GIVI system cases, in pristine condition. The extras worth over three and a half thousand dollars and its got brand new tires. This bike was ridden only on paved roads and was taken care of with the utmost respect. All service records are available and the vehicle is covered by Implied Warranty of Merchantability. Nonetheless, you don't need to believe what we say about the condition. We took one hundred and sixty high resolution pictures to show you exactly what the wining bidder will ride. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, turn on the full screen slide show and enjoy an in-depth tour around this pristine GS. You can bid with confidence. *IS the LOW Edition Right for YOU? The most important thing to know about the lower suspension edition is that it only lowers the overall height of the motorcycle and does not change the ergonomics of the bike. If you use a standard seat on the lowered version, the only difference you'll notice is that you can reach the ground easier and safer. The distances between the seat and the foot pegs and other controls are exactly the same as they are on the standard edition, so once your feet are on the pegs, there is no difference. BMW's engineers realized that even though the GS was one of the most sought after motorcycle in the market, thousands of riders stayed away from the purchase because of its height. Finally they put a lowered version in production which provides an incredible variety of seat height application. Compared to the standard edition, the entire bike sits 1.3" lower. It means that you don't need to compromise footpeg-seat distance - which results in a more cramped knee position - in order to reach the ground safely and comfortably. What is even better, with the lowered configuration you might be able to use a standard seat in the higher position (straighter knees) which you'd probably never be able to do on the standard GS. Nonetheless, if you want to achieve a lower seat height, you can still use the lower factory seat with wich drops the seat height to 31". This motorcycle is available either with standard or with lower factory seat, in accordance with your personal preference. For your safety: Please don't buy anything on eBay that is represented by a few small pictures, no matter how promising the description sounds. We are in the digital age when even phones can take hundreds of razor sharp pictures. If the seller does not show an adequate number of high resolution images, there is a reason for that. What you see here is exactly what you get. Happy bidding!
