2005 BMW R1200RT ABS with AM/FM/CD Radio

For Sale:  2005 BMW R1200RT with 80. 82 miles on it.   This is my wife's bike that she has decided to sell and ride pillion again with me on my GS.  

This bike comes with a 'salvaged/rebuilt title and I wanted to address that issue from the start.   I purchased this bike for my wife as a bike that needed to be reassembled.   I purchased it from one who bought it from a insurance auction.   He put on a new windshield and saddle bag lids and stopped there.   It ran and rode without issue at that point but still needed a little TLC to get the rest of the nagging issues corrected.   I used this an an opportunity to buy a bike that I always wanted to own but previously couldn't afford.   So I picked it up and used as a 'winter project' as the seller could not afford to pay a shop to repair it completely.   I ended up either replacing or repairing: (1) the fuel level sending strip. (2) the left hand warmer. and (3) the cruise control control switch.   All in all. there was a lot less needing to be done than was initially anticipated.   It just took a bit of time and perseverance of which the dealer would certainly charge one plenty for.   The mirrors had scratches on the outer surfaces and I chose to sand them down as opposed to replacing them leaving them with a 'buffed' appearance.   There are scuffs on the outer. lower jugs which is quite common due to the extent that they are exposed.   There are no other issues with the bike either in appearance nor performance.   Everything works flawlessly and as it should.   The bike has passed Tennessee DOT inspection and is currently. legally titled in Tennessee and is transferrable to anyone. in any state.

I added the MOTO lights. and the reflective. protective decals on the side and rear of the side bags.   The image shows the side ones black and the ones on the rear are not visible until headlights shine on them at night.   They reflect bright white at night.   A great safety feature.   They also work  well as scratch and scuff preventers.   I also added a BMW power outlet on the top of the tank to plug in the Garmin.    

This is a fantastic motorbike that I wouldn't hesitate to take anywhere.   It works flawlessly and everything on it works as it should.   We took it to Birmingham this summer to Barber Motorsports park without incident.   It was borrowed by a friend and his wife for the trip and it caused an argument at the camp fire as he contended that it only had 18. 00 miles and she insisted that it had under 80k.   She was correct. of course.

This model comes with the BMW OEM CD/radio combination. antilock brakes. electronically adjustable suspension system. electronic cruise control. heated grips and seats for both the rider and passenger. adjustable wind screen & self canceling turn signals.   Everything functions as it should on this performance motorcycle.   The battery and tires are new as of this year.

No argument from me that this is not a show room. displayable bike.   But was never built to be that.   It was built to be ridden and enjoyed and it really has.   Having many bikes. for many years. admittedly. this is really a nice looking bike.   The most common comment we hear is the amazement that this bike really has this many miles on it.   It really doesn't look like it does.   You will be proud to own this motorbike.   No doubt in my mind.   Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a fantastic looking and riding bike at a fraction of the cost.   The asking price was set to reflect the title condition but I will consider all reasonable other offers.

I do have the bike listed locally and reserve my right to end this listing early if it sells.
