Vehicle Detail
If you are looking for a reliable classic bike good for an investment, this is it. Price is great and these BumbleBees, so named due to the yellow and black, are not getting cheaper unless they are beat up and stripped. They are a superior driver and user. keep up, ride and resell this bike after a few years and you wont loose money. These are rare and a great bike. This is one beautiful machine, owned before me by a great "wrench man" who kept it in near perfect condition, added all of the great extras and than wanted to buy a true "dirt bike". His loss and my loss becomes your great opportunity to buy one of the great collector items in motorcycles. This may go quick, so keep up on it. The airhead GS was one of the finest GS's made by BMW and was the last model to be a airhead. Thereafter, BMW, in their great Germanic mindset, decided to make the simplicity of the air cooled engine in to a oilhead. (one that now jumped up in price, technology and complexity). This 1994 GS 1000 has all of the great features that BMW is famous for. The pictures that are taken do not do it justice, this motorcycle is all but perfect and ready for a museum or a cross country ride. Light, nimble and quick, it has everything to make it go and go for a long time without repairs or high maintanance. Add On's include 1. Wilber adjustable shock, the spring can be adjusted to lower the seat height. I am 5'10" and my feet are flat on the ground 2. New High Amperage Alternator and charge meter, 3. New Nissan Starter motor, 4. Single seat rack for luggage (BMW OE) 5. Russel Day Long Seat (has the original as well, yellow and black) 6. Recent gearbox refit and cir clip addition, (to prevent trans failure) (missed by BMW, in their wisdom) 7. Tank cover but not installed, 8. New front brake set up to improve over BMW 9. Recent, shaft and spline re greased with inspection (all fine). 10. Electronic Deer whistle 11. Shop manual and owners manual, 12. Full Tool Kit. 13. High Fender with front guard (and the original). 14. Heated grips. 15. New Tank Decals 16. Headlight guard. 17. Oil cooler. 18. Highway pegs. 19. Jesse Panniers (bags). 20. Brand new, Super duty $140 battery . In all I figure that the electrics, special trans work, and the add ons are worth about $3,500 or more. In addition, the tires are 50 to 70% good, There is no rust or dirt, the frame is clean and bright, the tank and fenders are shiny and bright. I estimated that the Jesse panniers (cases) will hold at least one case of beer with ice, camping gear, etc. The racks on the back will hold your tents, sleeping bags, fishing and hunting gear. Or put the original seat on and take the girl friend or wife on a great ride through the mountains and interstates. Please take note that the "alternator" and the "starter motor" additions were as a replacement to original BMW parts to increase amperage to the outlets and for accessory addition. The new starter was added to reduce amperage draw and spin more rapidly. They were not added because the BMW parts failed. The original BMW parts are with the bike and can be sold separately if so desired. go to the web site www.northeastclassicwheels.net for more information I. when this sells, I will not break even. If this is so great, why am I selling it? Ok I have two Sport cars, a classic car, a muscle car, two other bikes...Augghhh I can take no more and remain sane.
