I purchased this bike from the original owner in Fall of 2012 and have since put about 3k miles on her. Looks and runs perfectly with new battery ready to be installed before sale ( I always put new batteries in bikes when I buy them but the one in it has been strong so I have the new battery sitting in the house ready to go it) She has always been garaged and adult riden. Full BMW luggage and good tires all the fluids were changed 3500 miles ago.My intention when I bought the bike was to ride down to Panama a trip originally planned for our 1985 fj60 landcruiser but my wife took a job that she really liked and decided not to go. WELL here we are a few month's later and she is wanting to go there fore we have decided to sell off our bike and car and move into our Landcruiser and head south for the next 1-2 years.If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask. I can help with delivery depending on time frame and location. I would ask if you want to have me bring her to you talk to me before you bid to be sure that we can make it work. The winning bidder and I agreed it's not the best bike for a learning rider and I'm going to relist it. If you have never riden a motorcycle but have watched "long way round" that doesn't make you a good candidate for this motorcycle. Please be sure that you know your limitations before bidding.

Here are more pictures to better show it's condition. The previous owner was an older gentleman and I had faith in his honesty but that doesn't help here. By all indications the service work he described to me was in fact done but I did not get his records but I have sent an email asking him if he would forward them to me. One other thing to note it has a GIVI windscreen not the stock. The black thing you see in the windscreen picture is a mount for a gopro camera. I put it there with the intention of taking video along my trip south.On Mar-28-13 at 05:22:02 PDT, seller added the following information:ManufacturerBMW Motorrad Parent companyBMW Production1999–2005 PredecessorR1100GS SuccessorR1200GS ClassDual-sport Engine1,130 cc, 2-cylinder boxer, air/oil cooled (twin spark plugs on later models) Bore / Stroke101 mm × 70.5 mm (4.0 in × 2.78 in) Compression ratio10.3:1 Power85 hp (63 kW) @ 6,750 rpm[1] Torque75 lb·ft (102 N·m) @ 5,250 rpm Transmission6-speed, shaft drive SuspensionFront: BMW Telelever Rear: BMW Paralever BrakesFront: 4-piston callipers with 305 mm discs Rear: 2-piston calliper with single 276 mm disc Optional ABS (servo assisted on later models) TiresFront: 110/80HR19 Rear: 150/70HR17 Spoked, tubeless wheels Seat height840 mm (33 in) Weight229 kg (500 lb) (dry) Fuel capacityStandard - 22 L (4.8 imp gal; 5.8 US gal)On Mar-28-13 at 14:08:56 PDT, seller added the following information:Yes she has heated grips and yes she has ABS
