• 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.

Bullshit.

I've owned three late model K's, an "S" and two "R" bikes. They have a fantastic powerband, very linear and manageable. They are also well balanced and not too tall for smaller riders.

If I had anywhere to put this bike I'd buy it in a heartbeat, if only to flip it on Craigslist or Ebay for a grand more than I bought it for. This is like a free bike. Buy this thing, put 20k miles on it, then sell it for what you bought it for. It's a no-brainer.
 
A BMW guy PM'd me and told me about this:

The ABS computer gets scared when it boots up and it reports "Brake Failure" until the wheels have gone 1.5 revs, this too is a bug in all BMWs. Usually the Brake Failure warning light goes away before you're done backing it out of the driveway, if not it will always go away by the time you've engaged first gear.

--

That's not a bug, and an inherent design feature on all later model BMW's with ABS. Apparently, it's some sort of diagnostic check where the wheels need a few rotations for the ABS to be activated.

I also saw this bike up close this weekend and it is as clean as any of my bikes.. Fresh Pirelli Diablo Corsa tires too!
 
I hate you guys. I can't afford this. Stop bumping it.

So I've heard but I've only been riding a street bike for 2 and half months. I wouldn't trust myself with something quite that quick right now. Maybe next spring; however, my roommate is looking to replace her Concours shortly so I'm going to point her at this. :D

I can confirm this, it happens every time I start my 1200GS.....

I was looking at the K1200S a while back. Missed a couple of deals that were posted here. Now this might be an option. Since you have owned the S and the R, what are the major differences other than the half faiting?
 
Roadstergal said:
Yarp, it did it on my R1200S, too.

I've tried a K1200, and it has just stupidly smooth power. Sweet bike. :thumbup

well. i guess the "bug" goes way back to at least 2002. exactly the same thing on my r1150r
 
Go ahead and let me know if the price is over the top or out of hand.

Unlike some sensitive panty bunched folks, I don't mind and it allows the community know what the "market will bear is" so that no one will pay for an over-priced bike. :)
 
I have an extra one of those smoked plastic inserts for the rear grab handles I'll bring to the meet tonight if you're coming out Stan.

FWIW: the one I sold was a 2007 with 30,000 miles on it for $8900. The price on this one is in the sweet spot.
 
i think it's a great price too. from what i know about some of the beemer bikes. sometimes u need to just wait a bit longer til the buyer comes along.... unless u r willing to lower the price to a ridiculous amount.

also have u tried cl? might reach a wider audience there too

g'luck

Thanks. My friend is pretty motivated to sell, but not willing to take a bigger hit than he already is.

I secretly want to buy it too.:ride
 
Beau,

Given the personal hells I've been through trying to get my wife's Macs to work, I'd say your CFO is, shall we say, misinformed... :laughing

And given the fact that MY K1200R is the most awesomest, BTTW, lanesplitter/canyon-carver/longrange haul-ass-er I've ever had the massive pleasure of piloting, I'd recommend the K12R to anyone that can afford it and has the skill-set to use it to its fullest bad-ass capacity.

Srsly... 13:1 compression ratio, octane sensor in fuel pump so it can modulate the ignition for max fuel burn, 9-mode suspension adjustment (not quite Duc to G'wing, but close), ABS, mineral-oil clutch, heated grips, adjustable alarm system, fuel gauge, A&B tripmeters...

Yeah, I like it that much... :rofl

'Nuff said... :teeth

Beau goes through high end bikes and toys like most of us go through underwear, so i'm sure in the near future, he'll have another high-end toy to play with.:)

As for this K1200R, i'm VERY surprised it's still here.
