First of all, I love this bike and I do not want to sell it. I have to though, because I do not ride it enough and it needs to go to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have, but more often. This auction includes all that is pictured (Bike, Leather Coat, Full face helmet, half helmet, BMW trickle charger and bike cover). I had the tank custom painted as you can see in the pictures. I have installed a new battery, K & N filter and new Bridgestone Spitfire front and back tires. The bike sounds great and rides like you would expect a BMW to. The low center of gravity from the opposed twin enables you to really get into corners. I removed the Euro windshield a long time ago and sold it on Ebay. I put stainless hex bolts in where the optional footpegs would go and removed the caps. The back rear turn lens needs to be replaced because of the poor design I have replaced about 5 of these over the time I have owned it. I am ordering this tomorrow and will put it on before it ships. The helmet goes nicely with the bike and the jacket is a size 48 and heavy thick leather. The trickle charger works as it should. When I had this bike serviced some time ago, the mechanic overtorqued the valve head cover bolt and broke the bolt boss. I installed a new bolt in its place and put a gray washer on it to identify the bolt. This was many miles ago and there is no issue with this repair.
