wtb k100 in n.e. // $2500 max

[allisonmo2]

Hello all!
        I maybe wisely passed on a non runner k100rs, and unfortunately was scooped on a nice k100lt, all in the same week. I am looking for a running k100, rs or lt in the northeast region for some 2 up riding with the missus. I have been on two wheels for over 25 years but have never had the pleasure of a beemer, but always wanted one so it's time to take the plunge. This, as of right now at least, wil mainly be a weekender, 2 up, with a load of about 400lbs +/-, so i would prefer the 100 over a 75. Plus around here they seem to go for less than the 75's as well. Looking to stay in a 200 mile radius or so from Hanover , PA 17331. Right on the PA/MD line. It may seem blasphemous to only want to ride a couple days every week or two to most of you, but I am being realistic and am sure it will probably get my sickness back and have me on a bike for some reason or another every day in short order. I have dogs and small kids though so away time is at a premium.
         Mileage doesn't scare me, light maintenance doesn't scare me either, but i don't want to have to drop the shaft and replace that, or buy a new abs sending unit right off the bat.... looking more for a bike that I can hop on with little upfront time investment, figure out what i want to modify, clean, replace, or otherwise farkle in the wintertime when the snow flies.



 Budget right now is about 2k-2500. And that would include any needed repair/maintenance upfront. And of course, if you have a runner rs for a grand, I'm all for it! I know i won't find a showstopper for that, but i feel it's a realistic starting point(the 2k, not the 1k joke). Please don't offer a Florida or California bike as that's just a bit too far. Be nice, I have a v10 4wd ram that gets 8mpg!



         Thank you all in advance! this site has been a great find from all the excellent tech articles to even that crazy wisconsin fella with the white hair that likes to pee on things :yow

thank you don, but you are juuuust a bit too far. about 350 miles each way. about twice as far as i was looking to go. i know it may seem like i am being picky with the locale, but i am just being realistic and do not want to waste anyone's time here. probably not much chance of me putting 700 +/- miles on my truck to find a bike. crappy thing is, on a bike i would do 350 miles without even a second thought

Shipping would be about $250-300

Allisonmo 2 have you considered renting a car, I believe rental cars are cheap in the states. If you hire a small 4 cylinder it would probably work out cheaper.

a possibility, but bikes are plentiful around the local metro areas of baltimore, philadelphia, pittsburgh, harrisburg, washington dc. all relatively close. and it is also about the time involved. not to sound like my life is the busiest ever, but i work 50-60 hours a week, cherish my sunday off to work around the house, and i have twins just coming up on 4 and dogs as well. being gone over night is a plan for a month in advance adventure that is just not necessary. 350 miles each way is just not in the cards at the moment. i am patient.
