    Excellent idea.

    That's one of those "momma wants me to sell it, but that's not gonna happen" prices. I think about that strategy every time my other BMW (blonde mother and wife) gives me that R80RT ultimatum.

    Good move!

    Either that or I put $10,000 in custom upgrades in a $4,000 bike and I think you need to pay me a premium for that.

    And that's clearly a (bad) repaint -- no smoke job ever left the factory looking like that, and there's no pinstripes or Touring stickers.

    you guys can complain all you want, but did not you read , this is a "custom" so lots of things are not standard, including the upside down valve covers and the little lights stuck in the vent holes of the fairing
    and chrome wheels too, trying to see, are they the recalled ones ???

    but if you want it, better buy it now, cause when he notices that he forgot to list the "custom" seat the price is gonna go up another 1k


    Two days ago if my wife told me to sell my R80RT, I would have put a price like that on it too..............ok look I tried to sell it

    Yeah, there should be a discount--not a premium--for that chrome.

    Looks like one more good starter kit for another BMW hot rod or cafe racer.

    Yeesh, AND it's been festooned with "glow lights", no less....
    Nope, that just ain't right.

    But it is Van Nuys - so maybe that can explain it.

    On the PLUS side, it does at least have the 450W alternator upgrade!

    Talking Me's Think

    You guys are all jealous because you can't afford to buy that bike!!!!!


    I do Agree with this notion:

    yep noticed the 450 watt alternator too, best thing he prob did to the bike

    hey man , I think he forgot to mention that its got hydrolics, he can make it go up and down at stop lights and rock front to back wth the stero, He does not show the saddle bags because they have 16" speakers cut into the sides
