If I were closer that bike would be in my garage by now.
-
Yeah Treehouse, it matches all your other K's.
Looks like a great buy for some lucky fellow.
-
I was just in Frisco with my wife in a rental car after being all over Texas the past 2 weeks. If I had my riding gear and helmet and didn't have a plane ticket back to Atlanta from Austin where my son and family is I'd have bought it.
-
:musicboohoo: Brad-Man ...That's a lot of "if's"
-
I would have purchased a helmet and jacket and rode it home. If it is in as good a condition as the pics indicate that is a good buy.
-
But buying gear AND the bike would be not so good money-aid And it is COLD now..
Gear would be major bucks...
-
I might be wrong but it looks like it has been repainted.

I cannot say for sure if it is repainted or not. But for me it doesn't look as repainted. All parts seems to be same red.
There are some old scratches on right side lower and middle parts
-
Really sharp bike..........Hope the bad weather out your way has missed your immediate area.

Hi gang. I am thinking about making a run at this bike. My problem is I live in Charlotte, NC and the bike is near Dallas, TX. It's a long way to travel without having seen the bike. And I now hear the bike sat for 10 years before being revived this year. EskoV suggested I try to find someone from this forum near Dallas that might be willing to go see it in person before I fly out there myself. That would be ideal if that person is out there. Anyone know of somebody that might fit the bill?
-
I would ask for a video of the bike actually running and being ridden. Video should show that ABS and BMU lights are working properly. The photos show that cosmetically the bike is in pretty good shape. So I wouldn't be too concerned about that.
Looks like a lot of work was done. All the stuff that I would expect to get a bike that has been sitting for 10 years running properly. I would ask for documentation on all the stuff he has claimed to have done. Receipts.
At 30,000 the engine is almost broken in so there shouldn't be any mechanical issues. With that new fuel system, fluids and tires I wouldn't hesitate jumping on it and riding it home. In fact, I did just that back in October with a K75S I bought from just north of Dallas. Put 2500 flawless miles on it bringing it to New York. You're only a little more than 1000 miles away. Nice time for an easy three day trip through the southeast. It looks like you already have an LT, so I would think you know what you're doing if anything pops up.
Man, at $2600 I am kind of sorry I don't have room for a 4th brick in the garage.

Just looked at the photos. How old are they? I don't see any gaiters. Also, no mention of new tires. Good questions for next time you talk to him.

First two pictures have been taken 11/20/2015. Picture of gauges (with 030228 in ODO) has been taken 12/21/2015 when I replaced fork seals and put new fork oils.
Same time when forks were off from bike, I put Ranch 1952 gaiters to save fork seals.
-
Thanks for the advice TMG! Questions sent to seller in a pm. Hoping for the video. We'll see! That bike would look good in my garage next to the LT. :bmwsmile
-
Hope the deal works out for you.
Be sure to ask about how old the tires are. If they are more than 4 years old you will have to take it easy going home and plan on replacing them before you do any serious riding.
-
My bike sat 9 years. She was hesitant to start after sitting all that time with gunk in her lines, etc., but I whispered sweet German stuff in her tailpipe and away she went! 3,200 miles later and she seems to get better all the time. And that was with 61,xxx on the clock.
Good luck!
PS - Gryph is dead on with the rubber. Might be worth putting new skin on before you ride home. Not worth the risk if the tires look a little old/ shabby

He is saying that he is riding it daily, I'm with Gryph see if you can a Video of it running and a copy of receipts. If everything checks out I don't think it is much of a risk, seeing the list of work done. But I would allow for fitting a new set of tyres before you ride it back, Shinko's aren't that dear.
Best of luck Martin

When I bought my Texas bike I bought a new Shinko on eBAy and had it shipped to the seller who had it installed and ready to ride when I arrived. Maybe you can go that route. Maybe the tires are ok. Have you heard from the seller?
-

Just found out the tires are over 10 years old. I would consider a 1,000 mile ride home serious enough riding. So now I'm looking at new tires before I can get it on the road. Hmmmm
-
Guess I'll throw my two cents in the mix.........you definitely know you don't want to be riding those tires, but do you really want to ride from Texas to N.Y. this time of year with the terribly unpredictable weather? Maybe fly out, check it out, and get those $500 cross-country hauler guys to bring it to you.......then get tires at home. Time you add all that up, sort of raises the price a bit, though.
-
Roger that, True Ace. Weatherbrick, it's a real drag when you see something you want but the timing is off, weather-wise, and the location is a chunk away. If the seller would send you a video showing the bike in operation, put new Shinkos on it (got 'em on mine...no complaints at all) and hold it till Spring maybe you can consider the deal. Clearly, bikes come up all the time. You may want to consider the eastern Canadian market, also. You can buy at a 35 per cent discount (our buck really sucks right now) and it's way closer than Texas (I'm thinking Ontario/ Quebec). Some of the brick prices I see in the US seem kinda steep....I bought a new car in Rochester and brought it across. It was pretty straightforward. An old Beemer can't be any harder. Do a little research on vehicle importation and see if any of it makes sense.
-
If the weather and road conditions can hold, and you have suitable gear for those conditions, I'd ride it back
-
If it gets nasty rent a u-haul truck

Geez, he's going to Charlotte, North Carolina. An easy two day ride through the balmy southern states.

:hehehe Thanks MG! I was wondering if I was the only one that noticed that.
By the way everyone...My name is what I do. I am a Weatherman with a degree in Meteorology. So I think I can find a few days in a row to ride in. Heck, the ride home is half the adventure! Plus I do have all the cold weather and rain gear I would need. As long as there is no winter storm, I'll be fine.
Gonna need new rubber before the trip though. And there may be title issues. So, little things are beginning to add up. Did get a short video and more pics. Looks good!

Sorting ownership at a DMV a thousand miles away is the other half. :hehehe
-
My mistake on distance...........thought he'd waS in NY not NC. With all that terrible weather in Texas lately, better pick a slot between fronts!
-
Transferring title isn't that bad as long as the seller has clear title. Make the payment, I used PayPal, and have the owner mail the paperwork for the DMV. I have heard that you can hold final release of the funds from PayPal until you receive the paperwork. Kind of liking putting the payment in escrow. Get insurance and a plate from NC and fly out. Easy Peasy.
-
Easy-peasy indeed, for you sensible folks. Most provs in Canada want an in-province safety done before they will licence to a new owner. Insurance guys want insurer to be resident in the same prov as the insurer. Not/not easy-peasy in the True North Strong and Freezing. Buying a vehicle in another province can mean going through the registration and insurance twice. $$$

I love Michigan...no safety inspections, free to operate a newly purchased vehicle in order to get it home, and current insurance covers the newly purchased vehicle

Florida requires all vehicles brought in from out of State, purchase, trade, or even by gift or just re-location, to have the tag office physically inspect the VIN in order to issue a title. You don't bring the bike to the tag office, you don't get to transfer the title from the other state. I've heard NC has a pretty tough vehicle registration process. Most States with a high tourist population are doing everything they can to capture revenues, especially sales tax on out of State vehicle purchases.

Yes, NC will find a way to get the sales tax out of me if this deal happens. Plus there is a "road usage fee". Better known as another money grab to make their screwing up of the annual budget not look quite so bad. This used to be a conservative state but now it's like being in California or NY or Illinois. :swear:

I was just up in Grand Rapids last week. I am from Coopersville but I live in Austin now.

My wife and I grew up around the Lansing area but moved out here 5 years ago. We're in the south end by Kalamazoo St. and M6. Or just a couple miles from BMW of Grand Rapids

Yeah, NC screwed up big time in the 80's when they recruited a bunch of companies to relocate from NY. Brought a lot of libtard New Yorkers down who then told their buddies back home how nice it was. Didn't take too long for them to make NC almost as f'd up as NY.

Hard to believe this RS hasn't sold yet. I just saw the listing in Craigslist a few minutes ago.
I have also seen it posted in IBMWR classifieds. So what's the scoop?
Maybe it doesn't look so good close up...? :dunno
-
Has anybody actually seen it in person? Just got in from inspecting a terrific "picture bike" with good mechanicals, but frame had Rust. You never know until you go.
-
Glad you found a new owner for that awesome bike!!!!
