2000 BMW R1100-RTP - $2650

Not a bad deal on an ex-CHP bike. Seems to be lower mileage and a bit newer than others I've seen for quite a bit more. Plus, traffic will make way for you!

It may be low mileage, but cop bikes take a proper beating when they're in service. I can't remember the specifics right now, so I'll let someone else chip in, but it's probably not the best idea unless you REALLY like maintenance.

Something's not quite right here

Although the price is, someone give him a grand.

edit: I'm not too familiar with old CBR prices, is this even close to right? http://jacksonville.craigslist.org/mcd/2193424617.html
The market around here is flooded with all year sportbikes, so it's not like everything is inflated.

edit2: KBB says 1600 for trade-in and around 2000 for dealer. I wonder if I could get away with $1500.

$3000? Haha. That bike's been repainted (read: crashed). You can get newer CBR's for that much money. He's never going to take $1500 he's going to sit on it until next fall thinking it's worth more than it is.

Yeah, I was aware of the paint as well. Now that I think about it, I know the gear shop that's selling it, and they live up to their name of Cycle Image...emphasis on image. Mohawk helmets, custom chrome parts, non-DOT brain buckets, the lot.

I know these things aren't very available or have a big following in the states, but would this be worth looking at? Maybe to resell the titled one and part the other out?

edit: Didn't see that they were both titled. I also can't find any hint of the value of these things :mad:

I see the ad is still up for these, did you make the guy an offer or go see the bikes? Let me know, cuz if you aren't buying them I likely will.

I went and looked at them, but they aren't for me. While the running one is indeed running, it wasn't in as good condition as I was hoping. The tires are 10 years old, the paint is bubbling with rust in a few places, the front caliper probably needs a rebuild, and the fuel gauge doesn't work.

As for the non running one, you'd need to source new carb boots and clean out the carbs (sitting for a few years), refresh the tires, chain, sprockets, brake fluid, and oil, put in a new battery, and rebuild the front caliper.

I think that's it, I didn't bother writing anything down, because I knew I wasn't going to buy them.

So it's definitely still a good deal, but I would have bought them to resell them, and I wouldn't have made enough to warrant the purchase. If I were buying them to keep, hell yeah I would've picked them up.

He says the blue tank is gone and has been replaced with a nice black one, I'm awaiting updated pictures though.

I'm thinking offer him a grand, get it running, and then sell it for ....? I'm not quite sure what these things are worth, not to mention the fact that it only has 5500 miles.

Just went and saw this, and dear god was it a heap of poo poo. First off, it's been sitting for so long because 10 minutes into the owner's first ride, the chain snapped. The chain snapped because the rear axle was missing its bolt and the cush drive was left to its own devices. How the gently caress do you not check things like this before you ride a new-to-you bike?

In addition to that, there were small problems such as:
-no rear brake caliper
-no front master cylinder or brake lever
-toasted tires and sprockets
-"modded" wiring harness
-leaky fork seals and
-tweaked forks
-rusty tank (Turns out the new tank was the lovely blue one that had been spray bombed black. With one coat. Poorly.)
-broken fairing stay
-random crash damage
etc.,etc.,etc.

I offered him 200 bucks, he didn't bite :v:

"Needs valve work" translates to "I hosed up a valve adjustment, the valves are bent, it will idle barely now that I've cranked the idle screw to max, and it hops out of second gear but the engine is now underpowered enough that you can't tell".

Scary how close this was. He missed the valve adjustment like 10k miles ago and all the exhaust valves bit the dust, but he's still riding it :doh:
