I guess the Bay area bike sold.  Not on craigslist any more.  I hope another one like that comes up in April.  I'd be tempted to fly out and drive it back home via US 1 and a southern route.

If you're ever in SF then you want to head north on Hwy 1.  It's much better riding than heading south.  Doing both is best of course. 

(Also ride it on a weekday before school lets out at the end of May.  Much less traffic that way.)

Thanks for tip, Frankenduck.  I did ride from the bay area south already, so it would be good to see the northern Cal. coast.  Maybe that bike outside of Vancouver will still be for sale then.  Love that gun metal color...

This is another K bike, a RT. Diablo Kawasaki and BMW Walnut Creek , CA. dealership is pretty much where I go for my Beamer parts. I visited there this afternoon and saw an '85 K100RT going up for sale by the lead mechanic, (Kevin). He has not advertised yet. The bike really looks pretty clean. The bike has 52+K miles. The bike is a stock green and has all the parts complete. I do know that one of the original rear bags has a stress fracture in it's inside side panel. Kevin told me that he picked it up from one of his customers and he now feels that he doesn't have the time or interest in the bike. He is moving on to a GS. He told me that he would sell it for what he has in it, which is $530.00. The bike runs, and Kevin said that he has ordered an electrical fuel pump switch (that 4 prong switch under the gas tank) because it will occasional short out and the bike stops running. Otherwise, it is pretty sound and Kevin says runs nice. I thought it was interesting because of the price, so I decided to throw it out on this thread.

If I lived near Cali, I would scoop on that deal for under $600. FWIW, a 4 prong trailer connector will work for the fuel pump. Well known failure point !

Seems everyone is moving on to a GS these days. me thinks fighting traffic is getting to riders mentally.

I'm blessed to live in area where if I pilot only forestry roads, rare to see any cages at all. Exception being hunting season.
