You must have at least 5 feedbacks to bid or your bid will be cancelled, sorry but due to past EBAY experiences that is the way it is. CHECK MY OTHER AUCTIONS PLEASE! BMW R100RS...THIS DOES HAVE A TITLE. WHAT A FIND! BEAUTIFUL LOW MILAGE ORIGINAL WITH LESS THAN 23,500 ORIGINAL MILES. THE OWNER GOT SICK AND PASSED AWAY SO THE BIKE SAT SINCE 2014. WHEN I FOUND THIS HAD A LIGHT COAT OF SAW DUST ON IT FROM SITTING IN STORAGE SINCE 2014. THIS HAS JUST BEEN WIPED QUICKLY FOR THE PHOTOS, SO IT MAY LOOK EVEN BETTER WITH ADITIONAL CLEANING. ALTHOUGH I AM NOT A BMW GUY I WANTED TO EXPLORE THE CONDITION OF THIS BIKE A LITTLE BEFORE SELLING IT SO WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. SO FAR I HAVE REMOVED THE KEY SWITCH TO GET A NEW KEY MADE. ( WIFE HASN'T FOUND THE OLD ONE YET) I HAVE INSTALLED A NEW CORRECT BATTERY. DRAINED OUT THE OLD GAS, ( WHICH SURPRISINGLY DIDN'T SMELL TOO BAD ). ULTRASONIC CLEANING OF CARBS. THE RUBBER DIAPHRAMS WERE PERFECT. ALL LIGHTS, HORN, GAUGES AND EVEN THE CLOCK WORKS! THE BIKE SHIFTS THROUGH THE GEARS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE BIKE YET DUE TO THE BRAKES NEEDING TO BE BLED. THE MOTOR SOUNDS VERY QUIET. I SUGGEST DOING ALL THE TYPICAL MAINTENANCE THINGS LIKE CHECK REAR END LUBE, PLUGS, OIL CHANGE. I LEFT THE OIL ALONE SO YOU COULD SEE IT'S COLOR...IT IS EASY TO PUT IN NEW OIL TO FOOL SOMEONE ABOUT IT'S CONDITION. I CAN'T SAY HOW WELL THIS DRIVES YET BUT IT STARTS RIGHT UP, IDLES AND REVS. I WANTED TO GET THIS AUCTION GOING SO THIS BIKE CAN FIND A NEW HOME WITH AN OWNER THAT KNOWS MORE ABOUT BMW'S THAN I DO. I WILL COUNTINUE WORKING ON THE BRAKES BUT NO GUARANTEES THAT I WILL HAVE THEM WORKING BY THE TIME OF PURCHASE. ALTHOUGH THIS BIKE IS IN GREAT SHAPE LOOK CLOSELY AT THE PHOTOS...PEOPLE'S OPINONS DIFFER...I TRIED TO SHOW WHAT FLAWS THIS FINE BIKE DOES HAVE BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT DETRACTS FROM ITS BEAUTY. THERE ARE SMALL NICKS, CHIPS ON THE LEFT EDGE OF THE FAIRING. THE ARE NO DENTS ON THE TANK. THE TOP OF THE TANK BY THE FUEL CAP HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE SOME DECAL RESIDUE AND SOME DISCOLORATION... I ASSUME IS FROM THE TANK COVER ( INCLUDED). THERE IS ONE FINE SCRATCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF TANK WHERE YOUR KNEE WOULD GO. THE SIDE COVERS ARE MISSING THE LITTLE RUBBER PARTS THAT HELP THEM ATTACH TO THE BIKE. THE WINDSCREEN IS VERY NICE WITHOUT TYPICAL CRACKS AND HAZINESS. THIS IS A 37 YEAR OLD MOTORCYCLE IT IS'NT BRAND NEW...THAT BEING SAID...IT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BETTER ONES YOU'LL FIND. BMW HARD BAGS GO WITH THE BIKE. I ARRIVED AT THE BUY IT NOW PRICE BY LOOKING AT COMPLETED AUCTIONS. PERFECT WHITE ONE WITH 5000 MILES WENT FOR OVER $11,000 ONE WITH 48,000 MILES WENT FOR $6,100. FEEL FREE TO MAKE OFFERS THE LESS TIME I HAVE IN IT, THE CHEAPER IT WILL GO...I WANT THIS TO GO TO A GOOD HOME. PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL THE PHOTOS AND ASK QUESTIONS, THIS IS BEING SOLD AS IS. SHIPPING CAN BE EXPENSIVE! LOOK INTO SHIPPING COSTS BEFORE BIDDING! SHIPPING COSTS AND ARRANGEMENTS ARE THE BUYERS RESPONSIBILITY...I WILL HELP LOAD ON TO A TRUCK. check my feedback and bid with confidence!
