1996 BMW K1100RS that has been transformed into a cafe racer. This bike is not to be confused with the Honda and Kawasaki cafe racers that are typically out there. It is in it's whole own class of cafe style racers. Bike gets a ton of attention everywhere you go and people will ask a ton of questions. Clean and clear Nevada title. I bought it last year off the builder here on ebay and have maybe put 20 miles on it since I purchased it. I never had it titled in NC and decided to buy a Triumph Tiger for an upcoming adventure. Sadly there is no more room in the garage so it has to go. Get it now and be ready to ride when the weather warms up. Bike is ready to ride home right now. Handles and rides like a dream. Just a great overall bike but doesn't suit my purposes anymore. Price is VERY VERY fair for such a nice cafe racer. I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime as the bike is for sale locally as well. Link to a video from the previous owner: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Zy_zG-Eag Info as follows from the previous owner listing:Have factory BMW Motorcycle battery charger, as well as a bunch of paperwork that will also go to the new owner. This bike will get an impressive reaction out of most anyone and would do good in a motorcycle show, or just Ride EVERY DAY like it should be, and wants to be., The paint is Sparkling Blue Metallic with Ivory white down the middle, with white pinstriping to set the colors apart, all covered in 6 coats of High Gloss clear coat. Paint is rock solid and looks AMAZING in the sun, hard to capture it in the pictures but it really pops. Bike comes from the factory with a Beast of an 1100cc engine, that will last for 300k miles plus. This bike is VERY fresh. This bike HAULS, if you look at one from the factory and then look at this one you will see that lots of things have been removed, I am looking in to finding a place to get it weighed, but I can tell you there is a LOT of factory weight that has been cut off, and a noticeable increase in acceleration. It is really one of the funnest bikes I have ever been on. Some of the features included are as follows: Ohlins Rear Shock, The previous owner paid something like 1,500$ for this shock alone and it has less than 5k miles on it. It is the kind with the resevoir + a remote easy change knob.(price can be lowered if this is replaced with a stock shock) Marzochii front forks Brembo Disk brakes up front, and one in rear, the bike will stop on a dime. ABS system works flawlessly. (very nice to have on a bike) Pretty New front and rear tires. Cafe Style tail sectioned modeled specifically for this bike, almost looks like it should have came like this from the factory, with upholstered seat pad so you butt doesn't go numb. Clip on handlebars / Hybrid aluminum and rubber grips feel nice on the hands Tear drop style tail light. A simple magnetic type speedo 7' round headlight, reproduction for a 1937 Ford (high beam and low beam work great) Moved Keyed igntion to left side of gas tank under the front part of the tank. Aluminum Swingarm license plate mount. Moved gas gauge to Right side of Tank with custom aluminum mount. Bike is wired for blinkers and a horn but they are not installed. Please if you are going to message me to ask how this bike was built, I cannot go through and tell everyone that wants to know this. There are SOO many steps, and different parts used that I cannot begin to explain the process, of course you want your stock k1100 to look like this, but in reality it takes a lot more work, time, and know now then you probably realize if you are emaling me on ebay, not trying to be mean, but it is reality, thanks! Local buyers are most definitely encouraged to come see and test ride the bike in person as that is the only true way you will understand what I am talking about here. The bike has class, and performance not to mention reliability above 99% of the cafe racers you see out there, don't let the low price fool you. If you are not local I can take pictures of whatever you would like to see. These HDR shots are simply just to showcase the form and lines of the bike really, to get in depth photos watch the video. I will help ship in whatever way I can. Uship is awesome and highly recommended, They have a free price estimator on their website that gives you instant price estimates. I can store the bike for a few weeks so you will be able to get the lowest price possible if wanted. I can recommend the shipper I used when I bought this bike. Great guy with alot of bike knowledge. Im almost sure this is the nicest Turn Key Cafe Racer available for this price. Ready to ride home today. Please see pictures and video, and ask any questions.
