2007 BMW R1200 GS Adventure for sale In the interest of full disclosure: 1 - It’s got 105,000 miles on it. (Which isn’t a lot for a BMW that’s been well taken care of.) 2 - In this case, BMW actually means Big Man’s Wheels. It’s been set up for a large rider. The Adventure model has a taller seating position due to elongated shocks/springs and I’ve got a pretty tall custom seat on it. I’ve also got handle bar risers on it to raise the handlebars for an upright seating/riding position. And, of course, it’s also got a tall windscreen. I bought the bike new and have taken personal care of it, except when I had services done at the local BMW shop. I have all the service records, even those times I changed the oil & filter and adjusted the valves myself. Custom Camo paint job. You won’t see another one like it, I guarantee that! Always garaged unless we were out on an adventure together, in which case I have a fabric cover that I cover it with when parked overnight. BMW hard saddlebags and matching rear top-box. (With lift-out canvas bags/liners for side boxes) Aftermarket bash-plate under the engine to protect the bottom of the motor. Freeway pegs mounted to crash bars (an alternate place to put your feet for those long days in the saddle) Hand guards to shield handlebar ends from the elements. - Front fender extension to keep road crap off the front of the motor. - Plastic headlight lens protective cover. - Heated grips. - Anti-lock brakes Stylish exhaust tip extension to move the heat out behind the bike. I once melted a nylon stuff sack which was in the left saddlebag. This cures that. - Rear accessory locking tool box, which fits in behind the right saddlebag. Ohlins shocks & springs, front & rear. - Front LED running lights that go on with the motor. Separate relay-controlled fuse panel for electrical accessories. (This era bike uses what they call can-bus technology, which eliminates the need for fuses, but makes it difficult to run electrical accessories) Extra accessory plugs near dashboard of bike (powered through the accessory fuse panel). One cigarette lighter type, one BMW type. Rebuilt final drive by BMW shop. (The bearings in the first one were getting sloppy and I wanted to ride down to Texas last Fall. I was advised to have the bearings in the final drive replaced before that trip - which I did.) New rim on front wheel. The aluminum rim was out-of-round and was causing a shimmy at speeds in excess of 75 MPH, so I had it replaced. Decent rubber left on the tires. I’d leave for NYC tomorrow with it on those tires. I’ve never raced it, but this bike has been used both on road and off road. It’s been dropped in the dirt, maybe a dozen times, and has a few scratches as battle scars. My feeling is, it’s earned them, why not show them off? Sort of like an old dueling scar on your cheek. This bike is used, but it’s not used up - by any means! I’ve taken good care of it and the only reason I’m selling it is because I bought a 2012 model.
