Sold Red / Silver 2005 GS 1200 - amazing condition RJ 55 SOH

[klj]

September 2005 BMW 1200 GS Bargain.

Excellent condition GS , despite her years and 33k miles. Been cherished that's obvious. Very very clean. Good paintwork and plastics. look at the exhausts. Shod with Pilot Road 6 tyres with lots of tread left. Engine and gearbox very smooth and the exhaust note - see video - is very grunty for a GS with that Remus can. I intended to ride this for a couple of years so went to town on the preparation and renewal phase last winter. But a few weeks back a bargain low mileage LC dripping with tech crossed my path and I succumbed . Hence I now need to move this brilliant GS on ( no space; 5 bikes and 2 cars . I have done over 3k on it, all extended tours and its never missed a beat. Mates all very impressed. Its now ready for a lucky new owner. Servo by pass already done properly and no dash lights. Brakes are excellent and it sailed through January mot.

I went through this bike for a few full weeks in January and serviced / upgraded/ replaced whatever was needed. Wheels , bearings balance checked. Tele lever , forks , swing arm all gone over throughly. Cardon shaft completely removed , checked and found to be ok. Swing arm was dry ( no pressure washing - ruins these ) Gaskets renewed and greased. Swing arm bushes and rear suspension checked and spot on. New battery fitted.

Bought at the end of 2024 . Before the spring the following work done:

• Drive shaft removed , checked and greased. Was in great condition.
• Gear Position sensor replaced
• Fuel controller removed , cleaned , checked ( I carry a new one in my tool box - will go with bike)
• Fuel strip still works perfectly.
• Gearbox, engine oil, filters, air filter and final drive oils changed.
• Brake and clutch fluid flushed and changed
• Plugs changed - they were so clean by the way
• Alternator belt changed
• Brake calipers removed , serviced. Fluid changed . New rear pads needed and fitted.
• Clutch fluid changed ( clutch was renewed at 20k by BMW )

Features:

• Sargeant seats fitted - so comfortable - don't fit an LC
• Givi racks fitted by me ( original BMW racks will go with the bike ) I will remove the Givi top box plate - bolted to the BMW one - (its battle scarred)
• AOCCI Pro 6 fitted - adapted to clip onto a Garmin XT mount. Front and rear cameras. Apple Car Play or Android through your phone. Great piece of tech.
• MRA screen
• SW Motech upper and lower crash bars
• Touratech headlight protector, hand guard extenders
• Grip puppies
• Very bright LED auxiliary lights with handlebar switch
• Remus Revolution can - great sound
• Extended pegs fitted
• Pilot Road 6s fitted
• New battery ( Jan this year)
• Gear Position sensor changed
• Spare Fuel Controller
• Mud Slinger fitted
• Optimate take off fitted
• 2 USB outlets fitted at handlebar
• Givi system tank bag lock fitted
• Friction throttle assist fitted

There's loads more I could say / list and if anyone is interested please drop me a DM. This will sell quickly; great condition and mechanically spot on. Sweet engine, gear box and final drive.

I want £3450 firm . I will have the MOT refreshed for the next owner. Will be advertised on E Bay classified in a few days.

Thanks for checking this one out.

Very nice, I had exactly the same colour bike, could even be my old bike. No extras on mine when I sold it many years ago though.

Had folk asking after the BMW pannier racks - here they are in v good condition. It has Givi ones on the bike - presently for Monokey boxes. The racks will take Dolomiti / Trecker but you will need to fit the cam conversions kit first.
