BMW R-Series description
2004 BMW R1150R non-ABS oil head twin cylinder fuel injected six speed shaft driven motorcycle in good condition runs , rides , shifts just like it should the only thing that does not work is the horn .(and this riders knees)
I am the second owner I got it in july this year from the original owner I gave $5500 for it. There is nothing wrong with it ( except for the horn) the problem is me, I sold my XR650L this spring because my knees would not allow me to throw a leg over it anymore (Too Tall ) so I bought this to replace it, But it's just a tad to heavy for the knees I'm afraid I'm going to drop it ( and myself ) when getting off it so before I destroy it I figured I'd try to sell it I know it's late in the season to sell so I'm pricing it to move so I don't have to store it this winter.
This is a well taken care of bike, it's been stored indoors , The first owner added many nice features , Like the color Matched Parabellum Scout Fairing , the Sargent leather seats ( front and rear ) and the full size removable BMW Saddlebags the exhaust was modified to accomadate the Full size bags ( see photo ) it had to be lowered to get the left bag on . it's not the prettiest but is fully functional and the D&D exhaust has a nice note to it not too loud but you can hear it . with the saddle bag on it's barely visible . A throttlemeister throttle holder and the added highway footpegs along with a footpeg lowering kit and handle bar risers ( up & back ) I purchased a Wunderlich touring wellness handle bar but have not installed it , it is included though . He also added the automatic turn signal cancellation kit and front fender extender the tires are like new .it also has heated grips so there is not much else one would want on this bike.
It has the tool kit under the rear seat and the owners manual and extra key The saddle bags and ignition are keyed alike so one key fits all . There are no leaks and everything but the horn works , the horn is there but the plug in on the wires got torn loose and is missing ? how I do not know it was that way when I got it , The bike is not showroom new there are some small scratches on the tank and various other places nothing out of the ordinary for a bike this age .
SOLD AS IS NO WARRANTY
PREFER LOCAL PICKUP ( I might be able to deliver if it's not to far away,you must email me and clear this before counting on it )
IF YOU WANT IT SHIPPED YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE ALL ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE SHIPPER AND WILL HAVE TO BE CLEARED WITH ME AS TO PICKUP TIME ( some of us have to work for a living ) FULL PAYMENT MUST BE CLEARED BEFORE IT LEAVES .

A friend of mine read the description and said by the look of the price descrepency as to what I paid and what I'm asking it would seem that there is something wrong with the bike . not true the reasoning behind my price reflects the fact that I would need to heat the garage all winter it's not insulated very well so it gets large temperature swings which causes condensation on the bike and in the gas tank and it runs an extra $100 bucks or so per month times 4 to 6 months adds up and I would service the bike before I put it up for the winter so all this adds up, in my mind by selling it now I would break about even over keeping it so thats the reason for the lowered price maybe my logic is wrong but it seems right to me. I also tried to get a picture of the scratch on the tank but it won't show up in the photo I did get a picture of the scratch on the rack and will post it .

Kevin Ash, one year on
Wed, 08 Jan 2014I’ve lost dozens of friends in bike racing over the years, and while each death was a shock and incredibly sad, I’ve always had some kind of internal coping mechanism that allowed me to carry on relatively unaffected. Maybe it’s because I was always extremely passionate and committed when taking part in my dangerous sport so was also prepared to pay the ultimate price should things go wrong. Rightly or wrongly I’ve taken comfort from the fact that these unfortunate racers have checked out while doing something they love. I’ve also lost a few journalist friends in bike accidents over the years but for some reason these have hit me harder. The worst and possibly as it is the most recent is Kevin Ash who was killed last January while on a BMW launch in South Africa. Starting in 2001, over a period of ten years, I was in Kevin’s company on countless new bike launches in pretty much every corner of the world. At times he was cocky and occasionally irritating but always entertaining with a wicked sense of humour. He was many things but no one can deny he was a brilliant journalist and his technical knowledge was second to none. I always appreciated his complete enthusiasm to all things biking as he would ride through any weather on a daily basis to jobs or airports and seemed to always be tinkering with winter projects (mainly Ducatis) at home. I also admired how much work he got through as he had columns in more than one weekly publication plus all his launch and web work. He was a competent safe rider who was certainly quick enough to evaluate any new bike thrown his way. Kevin also drove a Porsche but then none of us are perfect! I looked to Kevin as a wise Owl so not long after I started working with TWO/ Visordown, I asked him on an R1 launch in Australia he thought the motorcycle industry was currently in a good place. His reply was, ‘we’ve just been flown here business class, been taken by speed boat to our five star hotel under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Yamaha have wined and dined us and furnished us with expensive gifts each day, what do you think Niall? How times have changed. On the subject on air travel he once told me, ‘when travelling business or first class it’s not about the pampering, comfy beds or fine dining, the important part is looking smug as you walk straight past all the people lining up at the cattle class check in! On more than one occasion I had food or drink spurt out when Kevin would deliver unexpected one line funnies at the dinner table.
2014 BMW NineT Spied – Lo Rider Concept Finally Coming to Life
Thu, 26 Sep 2013Germany’s Motorrad Magazin has uncovered new photos of an upcoming BMW motorcycle rumored to be called the NineT. We caught a glimpse of the boxer-engined roadster testing earlier this summer but the new pictures – snapped at a gas station in northern Italy – reveal three motorcycles that appear close to being ready for production. The name NineT recognizes the 90th year anniversary, and the new model references that history in its retro styling.
BMW Reports 2012 Sales Results
Tue, 19 Mar 2013BMW released its year-end 2012 financial report, reporting revenues of 1.49 billion euros (US$1.93 billion) from its motorcycle business in 2012, up from 1.44 billion euros in 2011. The increased revenues came in a record year for BMW with the company selling an all-time record of 106,358 motorcycles in 2012. Despite the increase in sales revenue, BMW reported a much smaller profit from its motorcycle business, earning 9 million euros (US$11.6 million) in 2012, compared to 45 million euros in 2011.
