• ZERO- WHERE DID MY AD GO?
    • It has likely been deleted for running egregiously afoul of the rules below. Feel Free to try again

    1- DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SELL THE FOLLOWING ON BARF:
    • animals, though free re-homing is ok.
    • anything illegal.
    • drugs, legal or not.

    2- Sellers, for best results... please read and follow these instructions:

    • Asking price [MANDATORY] in the BODY ONLY. DO NOT PUT PRICE IN THE TITLE
      • motorcycle or other vehicle:
        - make [MANDATORY]
        - model [MANDATORY]
        - year [MANDATORY]
        - Pictures [FIRST THING THAT WILL BE ASKED FOR IF YOU DON'T, BUT NOT MANDATORY]
        - mileage
        - title info
        - current condition
        - maintenance history
        - accident history
        - location
      • If selling riding gear, include:
        - size in the title of the thread. [MANDATORY]
        - in your post, include: intended gender/body weight/height/inseam/waist range that best fits the item.

    • Do not include the price in the title. You won't be able to edit it later. Put the price in the body of your post.
    • DO NOT INCLUDE LINKS TO 3RD PARTY SALES SITES Copy/paste your ad to BARF and make sure it includes the info above.
    • Edit your original post and change the price there... many buyers will not look beyond that point if you change the price later on further into the thread. Also, remember to add SOLD to first line of the first post when the item has been sold.
    • Please use the "Report this post to a moderator" (
      report.gif
      ) option at the lower left portion of the post if item is sold or to report erroneous posts or threads, and it will be taken care of.
    • With any indication that an item is sold, the thread will be locked by moderators. It is not fair to other valid ads to be pushed down the list when side discussions bump a sold ad to the top of the list. Moderators will do their best in changing the title and adding a 'sold' to the beginning of the title to save a few clicks for others.


    3- Buyers, BEWARE!!!

    • Pricing - Know the current market value of the bike. Check Kelly Blue book, NADA, CycleTrader, Ebay, Craigslist (even though some people on Craigslist are asking non-realistically high prices and will never be able to sell the bike at their asking price), and know what the current market value of a similar bike is before considering a purchase. Consider the maintenance work or fixes that YOU need to do to the bike, and factor that into the price. It is ok to pay more for a bike that has had all of the maintenance work done to it recently, or pay less and get a bike that needs some work, but you must know this in advance and be ok with it.
    • Inspecting the bike: if you are not experienced yourself, have a mechanic or an experienced friend check the bike before making a purchase. Crashed bikes:This is even more important if you are buying a bike that is being sold at a cheaper price with damages that the buyer is required to fix. In these cases, doing a frame check that will show any frame/fork/geometry damages is HIGHLY recommended. Do NOT simply rely on the information that the seller is providing, even he/she may not be aware of all the problems. Have the crashed bike checked and know what you are getting into.
    • Clean title, Salvage title A clean title doesn't mean the bike is free of serious issues. A Salvaged title doesn't mean the bike may have any problems. Every case is different. Some bikes are seriously damaged in a crash, but an insurance claim is never made on them, so they still have a clean title. Some bikes have had mostly cosmetic damages in a crash, but the insurance company decided to pay off the bike and salvage the title rather than spending the money to fix it. Know what you are getting into and don't make any assumptions based on what the seller is telling you.
    • Registration: Know about the current registration status of the bike. Check with DMV if you have any questions about any possible back fees and other title/registration questions (out of state title, no title with bill of sales only, etc.) before purchasing the bike.
    • Some additional tips: You can find some more useful info here: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=216958

    4- DO NOT make your opinion known in the seller's ad

    • Comments within a sale thread should be on topic and educational. Aggressive critiques and inside jokes will not be tolerated. Constructive dialogue is a valuable feature of the barf classifieds section and community as a whole. Flame wars and unsubstantiated accusations help neither seller or buyer. Don't fuck it up, because the next step is disabling the "reply" feature entirely.
    • If you disagree with a price, keep it to yourself. The seller has set the price. If you don't like it, don't buy it and move on. If you really feel strongly about it, then PM the seller.
    • If you are interested in an item, feel free to PM, email or contact the seller privately. Feel free to post if you need clarification... however, your post should be in line with above mentioned rules.
    • If you are aware of a serious issue with an ad (SPAM, stolen goods, a frame damaged bike being advertised as a 'never crashed' bike, etc.) please PM a moderator about it.

    5- DO NOT SPAM the classifieds section on BARF

    • Spamming entails using only the classifieds sections of BARF without taking part in other sections of BARF (regardless of whether the ad is for a personal item or a business.) The appeal of BARF classifieds is to enable and connect BARFers with some established history on BARF to one another.

      BARF isn't craigslist, ebay, cycletrader, etc. Buyers who are looking to buy from random strangers do so on one of the above mentioned sites. Those who only post in Classifieds sections and don't take part in other parts of BARF are no different than any other random sellers on Craigslist, etc., and should use channels other than BARF to try and sell their items.
    • If you're affiliated with a store/shop, please contact budman regarding sponsorship options. ALL non-sponsor commercial posts will be deleted. Site sponsors should post using only one account that is assigned a BARF SPONSOR tag.
    • We encourage the use of the classifieds by active contributing members. New members may post in the Classifieds forum after establishing minimal history on BARF (15 days and 15 posts). If you actively attempt to circumvent these minimum requirements only to post in classifieds, your account may be suspended. After reaching these minimums, posting only in the classifieds without taking part in other sections of BARF may result in being banned from BARF.

    6- DO NOT repost funny/strange/not-related-to-you ads from Craigslist or elsewhere on BARF or anywhere else for that matter.
    • No reposting
    • No reposting
    • No reposting. If what you're about to post isn't for sale BY YOU, don't post it.

    7- SELLING FOR A FRIEND:
    • Is not allowed.

    8- Feeler, Testing Waters etc:
    • Is no longer allowed.

      • If you are unsure of the fair price of your item, use the search function to research other similar items, ebay, craigslist, nadaguides, kelly blue book or whatever else is applicable. The classifieds section is not a discussion forum, thus not the place to be asking for opinions on market value that might lead to massive gray areas of conversation that violate preceding rules outlined above.
  • There has been a recent cluster of spammers accessing BARFer accounts and posting spam. To safeguard your account, please consider changing your password. It would be even better to take the additional step of enabling 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) on your BARF account. Read more here.

Name
Victor
Manufacturer: BMW
Model: F800S
Year: 2007
Options: ABS
Mileage: 21K
Title: Clean
SOLD

Purchased from the BMW dealership in Modesto (Cycle Specialties) where I bought it from one of the employees about a year ago. Every major service has been done at the dealer and recall work has been done. It is the ABS-optioned model, it has heated grips, but it has no trip computer or fuel gauge.

Last major service and dealer checkup was done 1K miles ago at 19K miles. All fluids were changed at 17K miles. I have all paperwork to prove it and if seller wants we can take it to the BMW dealer for an inspection (buyer pays). Oil has been changed every 3K miles using only BMW oil and filters. Tires have been changed about 1K ago to Pirrelli Angel GTs. The bike needs nothing and won't need anything besides oil changes and gas for a long time.

Front fork fully rebuilt this month - new bushings, oil, seals, and dropped in some Ricor Intiminators (valve emulators) to make the suspension setup perfect.

I will give you a SW-Motech mount for a Givi rear hardcase for touring. The mods on the bike alone are worth over $5K+

The bike has never been tracked - I use it as a commuter.

Some pics of the bike:

List of mods (the ones I can remember right now):
- Akrapovic titanium exhaust
- Ohlins rear shock, fully adjustable with external preload adjuster
- Ricor Intiminators in front fork (will install this month)
- Wunderlich brake and clutch levers
- Custom paint job - pearl white/red "CS" logo
- Powdercoated red wheels to match the bike
- Morimoto D2S HID projector retrofit (unfortunately the bike throws a bulb warning because of this). Can be changed back to stock with a stock headlight.
- Rear clear brake light with LED
- Z-Technik CF engine covers
- Z-Technik CF top triple cover
- Z-Technik CF instrument cover
- SW-motech brake pedal enlarger
- SW-motech sidestand enlarger
- SW-motech rear topcase mount (will also include OEM passenger grab handles)
- Knight Design lower footpegs
- MRA adjustable windscreen
- R&G front axle sliders
- Mirror extenders
- S1000RR front turn signals
- BMW Dynamic rear seat (pillion) cover
- Garmin GPS mount

I took great care of this bike and it is my commuter daily, so mileage will slowly increase.

I'd also consider trades (with me adding cash) for some interesting sport-touring/naked bikes like BMW K1300S, Duc Diavel, etc. Must have ABS and preferably TC.

Can throw in the Garmin Nuvi GPS ($700 orig price), Givi top case + backrest (6 months old), and a full set of Galfer sintered brake pads (new) for the bike for another $500.

I'd also like to mention that this bike gets phenomenal fuel economy. I regularly get 200 miles out of a tank.
 
Dropped it off today for a full rebuild of the front fork, including bushings, seals, dust covers, Amsoil oil, and also to drop in a set of Ricor Intiminators.
 
pimped?

I was trying to find an adjective for how the bike looks - and "pimped" came to mind.

Its an odd look for a BMW.

Fair price for the bike, tho.
 
pimped? that's about as subdued of a "sporty" paintjob as i've ever seen. white with a subtle red stripe and matching red wheels looks great. gives the bike a little pop where they typically are pretty invisible.

don't have to look much further than the factory to see real pimping.

My wife said that Instagram isn't a good source of pictures for a for sale ad.

So I went for a nice ride today (~150 miles) and took some pics of the bike with an actual camera. Updated in original post.

Bike is ready to tear up the twisties, tour to Alaska, wheelie to safety, etc.

Has a factory-installed steering damper!
 
I'm interested. What has to happen to change out a belt? How often does it have to be done?

Changing the belt is a simple DIY job that takes about 30min using basic tools. IMO, easier than a chain and sprockets.

Dealer says 36K, which is also what F800 forum riders recommend. My belt still looks great.
 
Rented one of these for a 10 day trip a few years back. Super comfy and fun ride.
 
Awesome bike, even better value.

GLWS!

Triple

Thanks, I think this is the best middleweight bike that money can buy.

I am leaving the country for a bit on Saturday, so I can show the bike today and tomorrow.

Surprised nobody has picked this up yet...
