The original owner of this lovely /2 put 22,224 miles on it in 21 years. In the following 30 years, the next owner (who is the current seller) put on another…300. I wonder what the third owner will do with it…

Post-Listing Update: The seller removed this bike from eBay. The poor photos of this listing were not enough to overshadow my love of the start of the BMW GS line (and my appreciation for no reserve auctions).
Paintless Restoration – 1973 BMW R75/5
Though the seller keeps insisting this slash 5 is the ‘best original you will find’, it’s gone through a ‘paintless restoration’ that includes a tremendous amount of OEM replacement parts.
1989 BMW R100GS
Alright, you guys are eating up the classic GSes so I’m going to keep hitting you with them.
Ending Soon – 1988 BMW R100GS
Post-Sale Update: This GS sold for just $6,900. I’ve been featuring a few of these in the last few days, but I’m assuming you won’t mind after seeing how nice this 8,400 miles example is. But hurry, the auction ends soon!

Here’s a bumblebee GS that was ‘taken apart and refreshed’ 2 years ago.
1983 BMW R80GS
Post-Sale Update: This R80GS sold for $5,700 after just the opening bid. Arguably the motorcycle that created the ‘adventure bike’ segment, the R80GS (and successors) has been invaluable to BMW. It’s also becoming harder and harder to find a good example.
2003 MZ Baghira
MZ decided to expand their product line with the introduction of the Baghira, a dual sport with excellent components – bodywork from Acerbis, motor from Yamaha, and suspension from WP. It all combined to make a rare and very satisfying dual purpose motorcycle.
1983 Maico 490 Sand Spider
I’ve featured varying forms of the Maico 490 because the bikes are just so damn good. Per Rick Sieman, “In 1983, Maico came out with even more outrageous power. It was so good, so flexible, so usable, that to this very day, it’s held up as a standard for modern MX bikes to shoot for.” What I’ve never featured before …
1973 Rickman Zundapp 125
This is one of the more expensive Rickman 125s I’ve encountered, but it’s definitely one of the nicest. Let’s see if someone thinks the condition is worth the price premium…
No Reserve – Modded 1975 BMW R60/90
This bike started as a R60/6 but it was given the heads, pistons, cylinders, crank, and camshaft from a R90S – the work was done by a former BMW dealership. Combined with a 33/11 final drive gearing, this bike is claimed to be very quick while still maintaining ‘classic BMW ride quality’. Even better? It’s got no reserve, so this …
Sleeper Rig – 2005 BMW R1200RT with Hannigan Sidecar
Named “Clifford”, (presumably after the big red dog?), this BMW R1200RT has been paired with a large Hannigan sidecar to become what could be your home away from home.
In England: Privateer Racer – 1981 BMW R80GS
Two things. One – expect to start seeing more bikes from outside of the US as I try to pay a bit more attention to my international readers. Two – this bike is AWESOME.
