TEWKS Posted September 15, 2018 Author Share Posted September 15, 2018 Motivated seller here at $7900 OBO. If the bike doesn't have a S-Ton of miles on it and you could motivate him down to say $6800 bucks ... Good deal! Pat Link to comment

BMW RT 1100 - $300 (Tualitan) no pics - says it doesn't run, but it used to... I see "It ran when I parked it" all the time. Like we're supposed to feel better about that.... ;-) Shoot, unless it's been parked in a blackberry thicket for 10 years, there's gotta be a lot more than $300 in parts there.

TEWKS Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 Oh Man, The Holy Grail right there! Back in 96-ish I missed out on a very similar bike for $4K. Like I mentioned, maybe I just think I need one where a few of them have gotten away. Pat Link to comment

Used to go out to Vegas, it just cruised beautifully at 80-90 as long as there was gas in the tank. Really want the GS1000S Link to comment
TEWKS Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Suzuki would kill it with a properly done retro GS 1000S I think. Pat Link to comment
Endobob Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Buy the lifestyle, not just a bike I think the seller is a little optimistic about his pricing. I have a couple of K1200RS bikes as well. Don't think you can get more that $3 - $4K for each. Link to comment
John in VA Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 I bought new a '78 750K just like this (except for the goofy saddle). Dang I loved that classic bike. So smooth and powerful for its day, and I thought it was exactly what a real motorcycle should look like. '78 CB750K Link to comment
realshelby Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 That "goofy" saddle is a kit from JC Whitney! Came with foam and cover. You installed it on your seat pan. Bought one for a 1978 CX 500 Honda. Comfy! Link to comment

walton66 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) Oh my! I can almost hear myself saying “but dear it has a backrest for you and the extra power would make riding two-up easier and it has hi-viz colors” Edited October 4, 2018 by bwpsg42 Link to comment
tallman Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 We had a customer buy that color combo. He put a Sargent seat, GIVI topcase, BMW bags. He was in his mature years. He and wife rode it 2 up from N Fl to Sturgis more than once and did other tours. The very first one we got in I took to gas station to fill up. Did shakedown ride, couple miles. Rode back to dealership. Had the credit card in my pocket. Did a U turn in front and contmplated going rogue, it was so much fun. When I parked and came in the owner told me, "I saw what you did, you know that woulda been a felony right?" For some reason that model seems to "fit" riders of all mold and size. Looks aren't bad either. Link to comment
BrianM Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 For some reason that model seems to "fit" riders of all mold and size. Looks aren't bad either. I thought about getting one, but too long reach to the bars. Short torso - 5'6" with 32" inseam. Link to comment

TEWKS Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Now this is not really a "find of the day" below but, it sure tells me that the bike above was.

Ancon Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I bought this Boston Green beauty back in September. Dave (seller) in Columbus is a great guy--has been very helpful with information and I'm enjoying this RT immensely. It's amazing how a such a large and heavy bike can handle so well. New to the site and if anything fun or exciting happens, I'll post it up! Link to comment
