elkroeger Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Comes with the whole kit, heated jackets, gloves, helmet etc. The single wide in the pic probably putting some buyers off. I know I like to go to the seller's house, and look around. If the place, his cars, kids etc. are a mess, then I'll move on. But if you think about it, trailer life makes a lot of sense, if it allows you to ride around the country for extended periods, on a really nice BMW. I know people who live in a great big house they don't need, and yet they "can't afford" to take a reasonable vacation once in a while. One thing's for sure: Life's too short to NOT be doing what you really want to do. Link to comment

elkroeger Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 The part I'm impressed with, is where it says he's got 900 miles on that thing.... Link to comment

John in VA Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 So low and wide it needs an acre to make a U turn. Link to comment
taylor1 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It would be really cool if it had one of those exhausts that make it sound like a tractor trailer Link to comment
avu3 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Alternator cooling shouldn't be any problem. Edit... found a video of it running. In the ad it has a Wisconsin plate. That looks a Utah plate in the video. Edited January 12, 2018 by avu3 Link to comment
AnotherLee Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 2004 BMW R 1150 RT, 12,600 miles - $4900 (Milwaukie, OR) *Link* Hard to find a low mileage 1150RT? Here's one. Link to comment
Bud Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) That is low miles. Asking a premium price, IMO. No mention of brake or fuel line replacements or aftermarket shocks. But a good looking bike and has a Big Mak tank bag! Mileage is a funny thing on a Beemer. You buy a low mileage one like this, put 40,000 miles on it and the value drops but you could consider them cheap miles. Edited January 12, 2018 by Bud Link to comment

eddd Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Interesting bike in it's own right with shaft drive and hydraulic lifters, but also for being an answer to the HD inspired tariff. Link Link to comment

TEWKS Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Another one I could have snagged back in the day for 1200 bucks in a tip over sale. The local Suzuki dealer (owner) in town somehow got a hold of two 750s that year (actually a year or two prior) and cleaned house at the local tracks. They were available in Canada before the USA. https://nh.craigslist.org/mcy/d/86-suzuki-gsxr-1100/6460925745.html Pat Link to comment
Bud Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Interesting long shot? 1993 Yamaha Venture 1300 Royale *Abandonded* - $400 Good for parts. Getting title would seem very likely impossible in most states. I know in Illinois you just would be out of luck, unless you could convince the Secretary of State that it was "home built" and passed their inspection! Link to comment

LINK Seems to me, if you're getting a divorce, then keep the darn thing... Perhaps the value of the car is a point of contention and he doesn't want to argue about it in court. Or perhaps it's her car and he's selling it behind her back in hopes she'll make good on her threat to leave him if he doesn't keep his hands off her Chrysler Link to comment

Speaking from experience, a beautiful motorcycle becomes a work of art and something that stirs the soul when it sits in one's home. Having it someplace out of the ordinary (like in your living room) make your relatives think you are a bit crazy. Having had one that hung upside down from the ceiling I can say there is nothing like it. Link to comment

T.M. Roe Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I have few paper copies but unfortunately they are packed away. I had it hung in an open staircase from the second floor ceiling. It got a lot of crazy looks. BTW, at the base of the stairs was my KTM dirt tracker. (kids used it as a coat rack in the winter). It recently went up for auction in Vegas. https://www.mecum.com/lots/LV0118-315465/1975-ktm-250-flat-track-kenny-roberts/ Sorry I let that one get away. Link to comment
