Selling my much loved short wheel base Slash 5 since my riding/touring days are waning. This is one of the finest BMW's of the more than 20 I have been blessed to own. I have loved and ridden this bike for two years and it has run flawlessly. Paint is good, aving been repainted at some time in the past. It is a deep dark blue that looks black until its in the sun. It is cosmetically in good condition. There is one small dime sized ding on the upper side of the tank near the front. The headlight shell has a small ding that I tried to repaint but did a less than professional job. Neither of these flaws detract from the overall classic beauty of this bike. Pictures of these are hard to show but I have included.
Accessories include Brown sidestand, orbin cafe seat, bars, ar end mirrors and Wixom saddlebags. Boyer electronic ignition (will provide original point setup). I also have original dual seat that I will swap for Corbin if desired. Bike has Hagon shocks (will provide original shocks). Decided to try a set of Shinko tires. They are wearing and riding as good as the Spitfires I usually use and only have a couple thousand miles on them. Battery was just replaced with a Westco AGM along with new battery wires and electronic voltage regulator.
Mileage is unknown since speedo reads 28,3xx which is obviously not actual. However, he condition of the bike does not reflect 128,xxx miles either. Title shows mileage "exempt" which is common in Florida. Title is a clear Florida title, n my name.
I have tried to describe this bike as accurately as possible. As a long time buyer and rider of airhead BMWs I am not willing to place my reputation at risk. I am an Airhead #1633 and MOA member #58555 so you can see I've been around a long time. That said, his is a 45 year old motorcycle. Not a show bike but a very nice clean classic representation of what was BMW's finest years. I can not guarantee this bike in any way. I currently ride it weekly but am looking to either downsize or quit riding completely (yeah right!!)
I am able to assist your shipper with local delivery. I have used air freight before and can deliver to the Tampa airport near me. I can even deliver within 200-300 miles of Tampa for a fee. No shipping or delivery until payment is made in full. I will accept a $300 deposit via paypal immediately on purchase. If payment arrangements are not made within 3 days, will cancel the transaction and relist. I have been scammed and burnt before and I think I'm privy to all the tricks.
