A well-maintained, reliable Wunderbike located between Wilmington, DE and Philadelphia, PA / 2004 BMW R1150 GS Adventure with BMW City System cases, spare Corbin seat / IT KNOWS THE LONG WAY ROUND AND THE SHORT WAY TO HERE, THERE OR ANYWHERE. HOW ABOUT JUST OUT OF MY GARAGE? / AT A GLANCE - A two-owner, registered motorcycle - Fully maintained, no outstanding mechanical/cosmetic issues - Bought June 2004 from Hermy’s, Port Clinton, PA - VIN WB10492A24ZH32100 - 58,500 touring miles - Fortunately, never ever lent to Ewan McGregor or Charley Boorman / RECENTLY COMPLETED MAINTENANCE, ADJUSTMENTS AND USUAL UPKEEP AS NEEDED - Seasonal valve adjustment and fluid change: engine, brakes, trans, final drive - New windshield - New pair of Heidenau Scout tires - New Odyssey drycell battery with BMW charger and pigtail - New BMW starter (No Chinese patch-up parts gifted forward.) / GENERAL OBSERVANCES, OVERALL CONDITION - This bike reflects proper care, honest respect, no major mishap. Mechanically, it is solid from axle to axle. Despite cold-blooded nature, it starts easily and runs perfectly, smoothly without any obvious noise reflecting wear and tear issues. There are no excessive leaks or weeps. Acceleration is brisk, clutch is smooth, gear changes are deliberate and notoriously clunky, braking is sure. No smoke, gremlins to chase or issues to curse. Cosmetically, there is no damage evident of spills or thrills, with tank, bodywork, frame, lenses and general finishes good to excellent with random chips and scratches. - Gas tank is without rust, dings or dents. Matte titanium finish is excellent with a few minor scratches - Seat cover and foam are really good, with slight fatigue - Hard plastic items, like side covers and airbox, show minimal aging - Perfect headlight glass and good plastic lenses, reflectors - The exhaust system is surface rusty below the head pipe where heat baked grim is typical. Head pipes fade blue without exhaust leak, dings or dents. Muffler is swirl scratched, minor scuffing from over-zealous cleaning - The most vulnerable part of the bike, the heads, plastic guards and roll cage are scuffed without severe injury - Alloy rims are true and without rash. The indigo anodized coating is always dull. If the age and condition of a horse can be determined by rolling back the lips to judge the teeth, the same can be said of inspecting the skid plate on an enduro. No gnarly Baja trail hunting/rock jumping here. Just dusty highway. This GS could use another day of thorough Q-tipping though, down low without any lurking surprise. / MINIMAL MODIFICATIONS - Almost religiously stock, not over-accessorized, but minimally personalized with a BMW low-profile bench seat for flat-footed assurance - CPC stainless quick-disconnect valves installed on leaking gas tank fuel lines for reliability and easier access under tank with fuel stain on right cylinder head evident- BMW cases and mounts included, (not Touratech, as shown)
