Last of the best RTs! 1999 R-1100-RTP, lovingly cared for by owner/mechanic. Was a CHP Sargent's bike in SoCal and taken with him at his retirement. I purchased it from his son. Custom $1500 flat black paint done by Roman's Exotic Customs in Las Vegas. Gloss black undercoat with a matt clear coat and striped with flat black with matt clear. Looks amazing! Beautiful BUT VERY HARD TO PHOTOGRAPH.. My photos don't due it justice! Recent tune/clutch/valve adjust/belts/brakes/tires. Comes with special RT tool kit, full cover & riding pants. HEATED GRIPS_ELECTRIC ADJUST WINDSCREEN-ABS BRAKES Ready for anything!Right travel case lock broken, standard wear and tear scratches on both cases. BIKE IS ALSO LISTED LOCALLY AND IS SUBJECT TO LOCAL SALE. ABOUT RTP's: BMW motorcycles have long served European police forces including Germany's federal polizei. Since 1997, the California Highway Patrol has deployed hundreds of BMW RTs. Not long after, Beemers with lights a' blazin' began appearing in the rear-view mirrors of traffic offenders all across the USA. The R1100RT-P "Oilheads" continuously demonstrated their utility as service vehicles. They out-handle, out-accelerate and out-brake more pedestrian Harley-Davidson and Kawasaki police mounts. Good wind protection and safety features such as ABS further qualified RTs as suitable service bikes. BMW further supported police use by offering special side and hazard lights, radar mounts, a high-output alternator, functional cargo space and other tactical equipment. Service vehicles have a finite lifespan, so a steady supply of ex-police bikes trickles out to the public via government-surplus auctions. So why buy an ex-cop RT? They are set up with rider comfort and utility in mind. Small touches like the broad solo seat make a big difference when you spend long hours in the saddle. Some folks simply like the mystique of riding a motorcycle that previously chased bad guys. BMWs have a reputation for long life and reliability. The CHP usually keeps its Boxers for at least 100,000 miles before retirement but this one was given to a Sargent who retired and I got it with only 22K miles on it. -- I used it for a freeway (101) between Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa, California (400+ miles each way) ONE AMAZING MOTORCYCLE!!
