I have a lot of time, ffort and money into listing this motorcycle on ebay. Please be respectful of that and do not bid until you have read the entire description/terms of the auction and are certain that you intend to follow through with the sale. Your bid is a contract to buy. I have the listing set up to accept bids only from US bidders in an effort to prevent scammers from ruining my auction. If you are a legitimate bidder outside of the US and you have a way to have the bike picked up at my location without it being crated, et me know and I will add you to the list that allows you to bid.
This Classic Beemer is truly gorgeous! It has its fair share of scars in the paint but it really is stunning to look at overall. It looks like it took a low-speed spill on the left side. There is some road rash on the valve cover and on the end of the clutch lever, nd the headlight bucket and headlight ear have a little damage. It is otherwise in excellent cosmetic condition. It's also in excellent mechanical condition. It fires up instantly, arms up quickly, nd idles beautifully. It has really nice power and it's incredibly smooth throughout the rev range. The clutch engagement and gear shifting are also incredibly smooth. The brakes are very strong and the handing is razor sharp. This is a short wheelbase model, o it has sharper handling than the later long wheelbase models. It comes with three of the four large, ound reflectors that mount to the headlight ears and license plate bracket. One of the red ones for the rear is missing. It also comes with the owners manual and overseas service manual, lastic sleeves for both, nd a large stack of service records going back to when the bike was new. It has a clean title. The engine and frame numbers match. This vintage Beemer is ready for a new owner to enjoy it for many, any more miles.
