Recently bought one of these for $500. Ex police bike. Needs TLC and spares.
A WHOLE lot tattier than this one - which, if it needs nothing done to it, seems to be a good price.
Bit of a paradox these bloody BMWs. The sum of the parts is worth more than the whole. They can be bought whole for a good price, but try and get some specific part (esp through the dealer) and the feeling has never been one of triumph. But bust them up and there is an undercurrent of being mercenary and there is one less "classic" in the world.
A design that resonates makes us soft in the head. I've got an old 1963 vespa - lovely curvey body panels - not worth a thousand dollars (people ask $6000 for a restored some). Moto Guzzi testicles, BMW brick motor etc etc
enjoy the biking
