• 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.

SOLD - 2011 BMW R1200R Classic: best set-up R ever.

Not open for further replies.
Bump for price drop. I'm certainly not desperate to sell this thing, but I don't want it to hang around forever.

Well, I do, but I don't have space, and my wife isn't keen about a new bike coming home without one going away. :laughing

Anyway, I know GSes and RTs are more sought after, so I'm just chilling here but trying to make the price easier for someone who wants a kickass R1200R. If you're interested, let's talk.

PM incoming.
 
I'm 5'10" with about a 30" inseam. The bike fits me pretty perfectly, and I can flat-foot it with the factory "comfort" seat on it.
 
Just a heads up for the various people that have been pinging me. The bike is on eBay now, and the auction ends Thursday afternoon. So if you're interested, now's the time. :teeth
 
Oo la la

Surj, what up man?!

I just got turned on to this bike being yours, after following it on Clist and then over to eBay, from a local guy on the R1200R Forum. I told him you were a good guy and trustworthy ... and I was sober at the time.

I'm still kicking it on my '14 coming up on two-year anniversary (rolled up 28,110mi this morning - all mine) and the love-affair continues, yet, I have to admit, thoughts of infidelity creep in when see your bike.

You may recall, I did Alaska last year for my 50th b-day and this year I'm setting her up with TKC80's and attempting the Dempster and repeating Top of the World.

All this to say, these bikes are highly under-appreciated and badass all-rounders. GLWTS!

Hey Dean! Yep, it's mine. Thanks for passing along the kind words. :thumbup
 
I kind of want this bike just because I saw you do that cool center stand take off at the BBBB. :teeth


GLWS!
 
I've updated the original post with a lower price. I'm getting lots of nibbles but no real bites, so I've concluded that my price was too high. So I've dropped the price to $7,800. I'm not desperate to sell, but I'm also running out of room and have a new GS coming home Tuesday. So come and get this thing!
 
Hi Surj,

You may want to try posting on r1200rforum.

From my somewhat obsessive few weeks of r12r shopping, this seems like a good deal at the lowered price.

If I weren't holding out for a blue '11-'14 (or the '17 if that fails), I'd take you up on it.

Good luck!

I'd also post on ADVRider if you haven't. Big boxer fans there.

And YES - a BMW has to be black. I had to convert my GS

Yeah, posted there right away, even though I'm not very active over there. Got some "nice paint" comments. This is apparently just a tough bike to sell. The last Beemer I sold (F650GS Dakar) had two sight-unseen offers from ADV within 30 minutes and more from Craigslist, with people wanting to bid it up, and I thought I had overpriced it. This one is smack-dab in the middle of the pricing range, with TONS of extra stuff, and I'm just getting nibbles.

Oh well, triple black GS comes home tomorrow. Maybe I'll turn this into a project bike or something. :ride

Your R is nice, it will sell. Usually the BMW guys aren't always on the lookout for bikes.

Good luck on the GS. I would love a water head someday.
