Yeah, it took BMW a few years but they did follow some design cues from Honda.  My question is….Why didn’t they call it (the Honda) a Typhoon?  

1996

[wbw6cos]

Guessing the name was already taken.

Love that two into one into two Exhaust on the BMW RSL.

Probably a decent price, even know it’s still pricy!

Looks like it includes the rear brake light option.

That's a pretty fair price, particularly if it's a paint match with your bike.  I got mine for about $1050 (dealer's cost) by adding it as a requirement on the purchase of my 2018 RT, last year.  Retail is $1500, but I'm not sure what the "street price" is, or if these can be obtained via third party suppliers for less than dealer's retail.  I knew for certain that (a) I needed one for riding 2-up with my wife, and (b) I'd choke to death on the $1500 price tag if I didn't find a way to get it discounted.  $1050 was still pretty steep, but again, the paint matched, it worked with the automatic locking system, and it just made me feel .... hmmm ... somehow a little rich for having a REAL, $1500 top case on the back of my BMW.  🤣🤣🤣  (Hmm, was that feelin' "rich" or "foolish", fortunately, I losing my memory and I can't recall.)😎

Can I beat my dead horse again....  BMW give us a R9T like this!!!!!!!!!  I would be there tomorrow

[TEWKS]

Funny, for a long time I had no interest in the road going airheads, the GS versions, yes. But the old RS and RT not so much. 

 

Maybe my taste is maturing or those bikes are aging well…
 

 

[Scott9999]

Well, this isn't on Craigslist, and it ain't likely to fit on your Beemer, but it seems like essential equipment for SOME vehicle in your garage.  😁

Yeah, I know, these are nothing new, but they struck a funny bone when I was glancing through the unrelated ads that Amazon presented when looking for an O2 sensor. 🙄

(Seems like they'd work great on some of the vehicles @TEWKS rolls around on.  😏)

It's always amazed me how some bikes can look like they're moving fast, while propped up on a stand.   Very  nice.

[TEWKS]

I’m not sure how a 19 inch front wheel would change the character of the bike but it seems priced right.
 

[wbw6cos]

Wow!  One whole dollar less that 12 K.  What a deal!!  Odd sale price amount.  What?  Are they a car dealer salesman or something?   Sup with dat?   

[TEWKS]

Yup, a psychological price game. I think, most don’t see (or want to see) the extra $999 and get sucked in. My theory is, he’d dismiss that $999.

Plus, the seller's paying at least $50/mo for storage.  Adds up and inconvenient.

Yup, you are correct and I’m um, stupid!  I was thinking it was a 21 inch for some reason, maybe it being an aftermarket wheel.

Needs new tires.  Maybe he has 'em set up that way.  

 

And more like $150/month storage now, John.

[wbw6cos]

The seller made it seem like it was modified, or something.  I had to look up the specs as I was confused from an RT rider's perspective.

Yeah I should of known, but it did read that way. Who pays attention to those number things anyway… 

 

Not sure why you’d change out the front rim for an aftermarket of the same size, unless maybe you destroyed the stock wheel. 

[roadscholar]

Tough to tell from the one pic but the rear looks like it might be a mag.

The stock wheels were likely cast - needed that front to be spoked so he wouldn't taco it hitting those gnarly whoops. Or they just had a pile of money to get rid of - those Woody's wheels are not cheap (though neither are the BMW wheels...).

You might be, but you are not - definitely a cast/mag/not spoked rear wheel. 

[roadscholar]

It looked like it from the outer rim/bead plus you can kinda make out the mag spokes behind the subframe. One thing for sure, that front tire is toast.

[TEWKS]

Yeah, I didn’t even think to look at the rear wheel in my questioning “why”.

But hey, look what I found. 

A great deal on some cases if you were in need. 

 

 

edit… that GS must’ve been priced right,  it’s gone.

2007 BMW R1200R - $1,500 (Kernersville)

I don't know a lot about BMWs, but I do know a bit about motorcycles, that seems a pretty good deal. $1500 is damn near throw away money as far as bikes go.

I think one could buy this, ride it a season or two, and either resell it for the same money, or part it for more.

Already gone, didn't last long.

 

I did see an ad for the shelter as well, $200

Cheap Thrills 

[szurszewski]

I don’t keep up on prices for those, but that seems low. No?

[TEWKS]

Yeah I think so! Maybe he feels the mileage is high for a motorcycle? 

[Skywagon]

That is cheap. Probably worth 9-10. 

[BrianT]

That is like trade in low price.

[TEWKS]

If anyone was seriously looking and makes contact with the seller, I’m close enough where I could probably put eyes on it. 

[TEWKS]

$2,900.00 

 

Nice RT.

 

[szurszewski]

That GS would be tempting if it were local. And if I didn’t already have a “new” old bmw I bought last month, haven’t ridden yet and won’t get to ride for probably another month…

Rotors look rusty (maybe surface rust), but I wonder if it has been outside all winter ...

I think they surface rust up pretty quickly if you don’t ride it directly after a bath. Not a good practice, I always ride at least a few miles after I wash them.

 

edit…. Got a few miles but I’m surprised it hasn’t sold yet for that money.

 

edit 2… It’s got about a grand worth of extras if they were of any value to you or whoever. Seat, crash bars and pegs, worthy add ons IMO.

If I had enough spare cash lying around, I'd definitely look at it.  It seems to be a very low price, and as you said, quite a few nice extra bits.  You could buy the bike, resell it for a profit if you're not interested in keeping it, and pick up a few farkles in the process.

these are really nice machines. Although the 800 cc version is somewhat tepid, when it comes to power, but it is one of the smoothest boxer engines. Seems he wants “ all the money “ for this one.

My first “real” motorcycle was a /7 r60 that I bought in the late 90s. It wasn’t fast, but certainly adequate for two up touring and more than adequate for any other street riding. 
 

All but one of my current bikes have twice the horsepower, but I almost never use it.

Of course he does. He's been doing this longer than you or I.

And buying a trike, he needs it.

Not giving it away but with some negotiating you could probably save yourself $800.00 over buying new.
