• 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.

I need to sell my BMW. I (still) have to have another knee surgery soon, and it's likely that I won't be able to ride for about a year or so. Note this is not a desperation sale - I have the space to store it and I will, if I don't get a fair price. EDIT - looks like my surgery is next week, so this is your last chance.

RTPs get a bad rep because they are typically "ridden hard and put away wet" and show up at auctions and shady car dealers in a range of prices. Read on, my friend.

The bike is a 2007 and recently turned 21k miles. Yes, verified miles. Unlike many other ex-police bikes, this one has a complete documented history, and was never wrecked or abused (yes, I checked).

My bike came from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, where their police motors program was frozen due to lack of funds and bikes were put into storage sometime in 2010.

I bought the bike with 17k miles at a state auction last year after doing extensive research. After purchase, I had it inspected at A&S in Roseville, and then did lots of basic/preventative maintenance (all documented), and have been riding it sparingly since.

It's never been down while riding on my watch (I dropped it while parked once but the safety bars do wonders to protect the bike).

The bike is clean and straight and the only flaws are some deep scratches in the paint on the front fairing where the state morons must have used a screwdriver to remove the cop decals and badges. I installed new roundels, but didn't get a chance to repaint the upper fairing.

For upgrades/mods, I added a Wolo Bad Boy horn with relay (it's a Stebel or a very close clone) and I also added a Hyperlights rear brake module/flasher.

I bought this bike because I had a theory - if I was going to commute by bike to work, I wanted the safest possible bike, and that everyone surely notices a cop bike. Well, not everyone does. But many people do, and despite its size, the RT is perfectly suited to lane splitting and commuting, as well as long trips.

No immediate maintenance is due and the bike recently had its fuel pump replaced under recall at Diablo BMW. BMW just also extended the warranty on the fuel strip which is a common issue on the R1200RT, but this bike has not had any problems with that.

It has never had a transmission or final drive problem or replacement (there was a suggestion of a leaking rear seal but it has never reappeared and was likely an old leak or spill from something else).

There are two side city cases, and a top case that normally holds the police radio box, but can be used as a regular topcase. All lock with the same key.

The bike has ABS, linked brakes (when you pull the front brake lever, it engages the rear brakes as well) and also has heated grips and heated seat. The windshield is electrically adjustable - sounds stupid but I use this a lot (lower screen for lanesplitting, raise it for open road and adjust as needed).

Original police wiring including the dual batteries is intact, I simply removed the second battery as it wasn't needed and would just add weight. The "brain" for the lights is gone, as was the light pod on the rear, spotlights, and the other police accessories.

Have it inspected anywhere you like (at your expense), see it around Walnut Creek, SF or Palo Alto when I'm commuting and while I still can (see knee comments above). Fly in and ride it home, both OAK and SFO are very accessible.

I have a 7 minute video walkaround: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gql3KsfhrRE

I know there are some cheaper RT and RTPs out there, but this is a good one, and my asking price is lower than others I've seen with 3-4x the miles and none of the history. No test rides without cash in hand.

I'm a long time BMW guy, member of IBMWR and BMWMOA and BARF of course.

If the bike doesn't sell this month it's going to sit until next Spring, and if it does I am going to have the fairing painted and will have to do a complete service again, and the price will go up accordingly. I'd rather not have it in the garage reminding me that I can't ride.

Wish I had the dosh for it... I'm might end up needing one like that for one of my yobs...

right bike; wrong time .... about 15 years too soon
 
Motorists have two reactions. Oh crap, it's a cop! Slam on the brakes, quickly exit the carpool lane (as if I wouldn't notice).

The others? Oblivious to bikes regardless of shape, size and color.

Looks like I may be slated for surgery Wednesday. I'll reduce it to $6000 plus a BARF donation, but I'm not going below that.
 
Still for sale, but I had surgery, so it's parked for the duration. if anyone gets seriously interested, PM me.
 
Replied.

For the record, a BARFer and his friend checked out the bike and liked it, but the friend and I both talked him out of buying the bike. It's NOT for a beginner or someone who hasn't been in the saddle for a long time.
 
bmw

No worries about me being a beginner
Give a call when you get the chance
Would like to set up a time to look at it in person

If I had the money buddy, I'd take it off your hands. Would love to have a backup beemer.
 
In this price range, regular RTs have around 100k miles. Or, you can get one with comparable miles for $2500 more. Twenty. Five. Hundred.
 
Still available. Just got notice of another recall from BMW - something in the rear hub needs to be changed to a revised part. I can't ride it there (Diablo) so will see if they can pick it up.
 
Bump. I was able to ride it over to Diablo to have the rear hub replaced (recall).
While there, they installed new rear brake pads.
Somebody buy this please...
 
Price reduced. Perfect commuter or long distance tourer.

As I may have mentioned, a BARFer and his mechanic friend checked it out and liked it, but it was too much bike for his riding experience.
It's clean, straight, and goes like stink. This is NOT a beat up cop bike.
 
Someone asked about a rear seat conversion for 2 up.
See here

Parts needed:
- Rear passenger seat 52537683640
- Left passenger handle 46547681147
- Right Passenger handle 46547681148
- Dual seat version number plate holder with lock mechanism (fender + brake light plastic)
- Footpegs with thrust washers, pins and circlips

The scratches on the front tupperware can be covered with reflective decals (that was my intention just never got around to it). I could repaint it but I figure anyone who wants to spend $ on paint will want to change the color from the black and white, and the color as is has lots of appeal to me. It would be very easy to make it all black. Just for kicks I emailed cyclefinish to ask how much to redo those front fairings.
