For sale a low mileage (7k miles) 1997 BMW R850R. I bought this bike from an estate sale along with several others. The bike is in excellent condition. I am the second owner of the bike. I have a 2001 GS1150 and don't need this bike, hence I am selling it.
Here are some pictures of the BMW which I bought at an estate sale.The records I have show that the bike was serviced at Sill's BMW in 1999 at 6,023 miles. License plate shows 2001 renewal. Tires look almost new.
What I have done: New air filter (mice damaged old one). New Odysey Battery. Changed brake fluid (non ABS). Checked all other fluids. Cleaned & polished.
PRICE $5200.00. I am not a dealer just a retired motorcycle nut who was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time (one of a few bidders at the estate sale auction).
I bought 4 other Bikes in this deal, one of which I already sold, a pristine R50/2 and a low milage 1983 Kawasaki twin, which is availible.
Feel free to email for more details or for a time. to inspect the machine. Russ Davis
Here is BMWs take on the bike:
Self-assured, muscular, unmasked. The modern 4-valve flat twin "boxer" engine of the R 850 R is in plain view for everyone to see. Its features are advanced technology and a straight character. It territory are bends and winding roads. From the very first turn of the throttle, the rider is thrilled by its dynamic thrust and an impressive torque of 77 Nm at 5600 rpm 52 kW output. Why miss out on this any longer? The 850 cc Roadster is also available in an output-reduced version with 25 kW.
UMG Says (R850, R1100):
Naked, new tech Boxer with bulbous styling, excessive mass and advanced Telelever suspension. Width of the engine limits town madness but sophisticated suspension at both ends allow most bumps to be absorbed without the usual BMW ducking and diving. 1100R has major benefit of excess of torque, 850R cheaper. A significant advance over recent R100’s but more attention’s needed to weight saving, though it doesn’t show up too much once under way, thanks to the modern chassis.
Pictures to follow.
