Here it finally is! We have many customers and friends who have been storing their bikes with us over the years. Some have bought new bikes, others have hung up their helmets, and some have shipped over second and third bikes. Whatever the reason, to satisfy the requests of our customers we have provided this forum for you to possibly find or sell a bike, or maybe some equipment you can use on your next trip.
I am not acting as a seller or a buyer, but providing an extra service to our customers so that they can sell or buy what they have or are looking for. Any transactions will be between the buyer and the seller; and following this the responsibility of accurately representing what is being sold and the satisfaction of the buyer is strictly between them. Gladly, I am here to help put you in contact with each other, where I can to give you advice about registration or paperwork, when possible to give you an opinion of what is being sold, and to provide a convenient place of transaction so that you don't have the added worry about arranging to transport a bike from one place to another - the bike/goods being sold will already be here in our storage facility and will be kept here until you arrive to ride it on your vacation. The only cost of using this service is a voluntary shared commission of 3% from the buyer and 3% from the seller of the listed price.
If you would like to sell your motorcycle or equipment, then please send me an an email with all the pertinent information - the more information the better for others to read. (Please only list items for sale which are located in Europe. One of the goals of offering this service is to satisfy the requests of clients who are looking for motorcycles already on this side of the ocean.) Of course if you have any photos, please include them as well. If your bike is already here in our storage facility and you don't have any recent photos, then let me know if you would like some pictures included and I will do my amateurish best to take some snapshots for you!
If you would like to buy anything that is listed for sale, then please contact the person directly if they have given their contact details. I will do my best to put you in touch with the seller or when time permits, I will try to answer questions you might have about the bike if it is here.
Stefan.
2006 BMW K1200LT
This is the high end machine with all the options, Xenon lights, central locking and alarm, radio, intercom, CD, electric windshield, ABS.
Added features are meant for a taller rider, such as a Bill Mayer seat, lowered foot pegs and XL extended foot pegs for long rides.
The bike was recently serviced at 30 000 miles by a BMW dealer in Heppenheim, Germany. This was the whole enchilada service, all liquids, valves, etc. I traveled about 1800 miles since then, therefore the buyer has quite a few miles to go before even an oil change. Tires, Metzlers, are in near new condition.
Approx. 50 000 km (almost 32 000 miles).
This bike with two up and full load of stuff is an excellent and comfortable machine on Germany’s autobahns and on other European roads, with average 44-45 mpg fuel consumption. I just finished a 4 week tour with my wife and had a blast.
The price is $14 900.
For personal reasons I am reducing the price to $10,900. This is a real opportunity for a buyer to ride comfortably in Europe, one or two up. Buyer must be an American or a Canadian for simpler title transfer.
