What this owner may NOT know, it that (a) there's nothing "classic" about a BMW R1150GS, i.e. they are a dime a dozen, and (b) those "very, very popular" GS's are Wetheads and Shiftcams, with maybe some Camhead's thrown in there. People aren't chomping at the bit for 18 year old bikes with micky mouse seat covers and Armor all over everywhere, for $8000. But, he'll find out. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 Yeah I think that value is from the guy who had one or thought about buying one but didn’t. Nostalgia hard at work. I’m sure they’re creeping up in price but I think he’s reaching right now IMO. Link to comment

What that owner knows is that it's a future classic and in that condition with only 5k miles I think he's priced it correctly, having owned 5 or 6 of them over a 20 year span. It's one of the best bikes BMW has ever made, not as fast or feel good as the new stuff but when those have 80,000 miles on them and are out of warranty, because of complexity and expense to repair, their value will plummet like a rock while 1150's will at the same time keep escalating. Check back in 5 years if you don't think so. They are not a dime a dozen any longer, and nice ones will keep getting scarcer. BTW that's not a mickey mouse seat cover either but a factory option offered on black and silver 1150Gs's only and worth extra to someone that knows this stuff. 3 Link to comment

roadscholar Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 True, it's almost a new bike. Mentioned before but I sold my 01 recently (35k miles) I'd had 17 years for 5500. to a guy that was eager to get it, his previous bike was an Africa Twin he'd ridden all over the country. He viewed it as a move up and correctly so. Sold the '04 (twin spark) with 14k miles (and sidecar) for 7900. a few years ago, sidecar value maybe 1.5-2k. There's one of them red seats again, at least half of one, it's purty but ain't as comfy as a Sargent : ) 1 Link to comment

Boy-oh-boy, but don't some Beemer owners get touching about their favorite bikes. 🙃😁 Ok, ok, I'm sorry to dishonor your bike. I've never had a GS, but have ridden the 1150 GS before, and have owned an 1150 RT. The Hexhead I had was a night and day improvement. In fact, I've thought about trying to find an old Hexhead GS as a garage toy and sometime riding fun bike. To each his own. 👍🍻 Link to comment
roadscholar Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 You’re missing the point, we’re talking about a very low mile future collectible you can use, has nothing to do with me, just pointing out I’ve had some experience with that model. Also have a pretty good grasp on the classic German car and bike market and it’s trends having restored and collected vintage/historic Porsche’s and Mercs for 50+ years, along with a couple dozen airheads. Here’s one that might surprise you too, the reason it’s a standout is the mileage and condition. And the red seat : ) https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1995-bmw-r100-gs-paris-dakar-4/ 2 1 Link to comment

I’m guessing the cool kids on the block bought a Harley or maybe an Adventure touring bike. It’s tough to keep up with the latest trends sometimes. Doesn't say anything about the first service. 1 Link to comment

John Ranalletta Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 For someone in need of a simple, reliable m/c trailer, look at this. I've hand Nomanco trailers for decades. Solid, well built, tow like on rails (with good tires). I'm tempted to buy this and convert it as I did my original to a drop-bed design that eliminates ramps. If you buy it, I have a great design for foot ramps a welding shop can fab easily. https://columbus.craigslist.org/tro/d/westerville-single-rail-motorcycle/7510856738.html 1 Link to comment

Yep, it's a PERFECT fit for my garage. However, it'll get kinda crowded in there with two bikes and my camping cot, 'cause the wife won't let me back in the house after I've parked a SECOND "new-to-me" BMW in the garage. 🙄😒😁 So, we'll have to let Pat have this one. 1 1 1 Link to comment
