Arlington, TX
Description:
You are looking at the rare opportunity to own one of the all time classic BMW work horses, the BMW 1150GS. This bike has running lights, ABS brakes, 1150 Boxer Motor, six speed transmission, wunderlich engine guard and only 2244 actual one owner miles. It belonged to an older gentleman who had a passion for motorcycles (he owned 16 bikes) his health was failing and he started to sell his bikes. The BMW GS series is the motorcycle that refuses to be pigeon-holed. It's neither strictly a road bike nor a dirt bike and, in many circumstances, that would be enough to ensure that it was no good in either department. But the crazy looking BMW is actually brilliant on any surface. The flat-twin engine provides moderate power but oodles of grunt and the long-travel suspension means it'll tackle a dirt road with plenty in reserve. Okay, so it's too heavy to be a true off-road bike, but it's amazing where a BMW GS will get you if you know what you're doing. And even on the bitumen, if the surface isn't smooth, a well-ridden GS will show a stiffly-sprung sportsbike the door. The first of the four-valve BMW GS series was the 1100, while the 1150 followed a few years later with some important upgrades. But either version is a brilliant tool in the right hands. The BMW GS is a big, heavy, tall bike so it suits lankier folk best. But any sized rider will appreciate the supple suspension that is comfy for long rides. The front-end is a clever design that separates the steering and suspension chores inherent in conventional designs and it works well. The shaft drive is well sorted and virtually maintenance-free and the engine is relatively simple, so it's great for those who like to do their maintenance at home. The real magic of the GS is the way it all comes together. Hurl it at some corners, go charging into the bush, the GS will do it all and do it easily. It's easy to ride fast and takes very little acclimatisation despite looking like some kind of a cross between a piece of industrial machinery and a weird Bavarian creation. The big advantage the later 1150 has over the 1100 is its six-speed gearbox (the 1100 has five). The engines are very similar although the 1150 does have a bit more performance. Look for one with the optional anti-lock brakes (which can be switched off for dirt riding). The other option worth waiting for is the factory hard luggage which works well and consists of panniers that don't fall off on bumps and don't leak dust or water. The engine can last for 200,000km or more, so this bike has alot of life left in it. The Bad: There are a few small paint chips (shown in the pictures) When it was sitting the fuel lines cracked and it leaked fuel on the engine case, you can see some discoloration The left hand grip is split the fuel guage is not working The right pannier has the front tab missing, it was dropped when it was not attached to the bike. The Good: only 2244 actual miles we have ordered a new fuel sending unit so the fuel gauge will be repaired six speed transmission, ABS brakes, you can switch off for dirt riding, wunderlick engine guard and skid plate, headlight stone gard, high powered running lights, heated grips The panniers are included bark busters fresh oil change, new fuel lines, new battery, fresh brake fluid flush She is ready to ride and enjoy.
