Where have all the 1150s gone?

[jack2712]

Mine in silver picked it up a few weeks back from this forum.

Best to ......before the bubble bursts

There’s only a short window of opportunity as riders get older

Blink and you may miss that window

28 and very happy with my 1150 - Some us younger generation still have good taste

Had mine now for 19yrs - bought a 2000 model in 2001. I had an R80GS before it, got to 102k miles and replaced it as I needed reliable transport for commuting to work. Then 3mths later, I was transferred to an office 3 miles from home and it became a toy. I tried a 1200 when they launched and was unimpressed, so I’ve never bothered since.

Everyone knows that black is fastest, so here’s mine in its preferred environment...

Still have my 2002 single spark bought in 2004 with 5k on it, non abs, ridden regularly. 70k on it now. 5 other bikes have come and gone in the meantime

There weren’t as many sold as you might think. I remember seeing the sales figures for the 1200 versus the 1150 after a couple of years of being on sale and it was a massive difference. From memory by the time LWR was broadcast the 1200 was on sale and that model benefited from the success of the show , not the 1150 as it was now defunct.

The 1150 was on sale for about 5 years ? But I’m pretty sure the 1200 had outsold it within 2 and massively out sold it in the end.

Glad to hear it

I was 29/30 when I first bought a new 1100 GS

They were quirky back then and not mainstream

1150 was sold from 1999 to 2005 (as the GS adventure incarnation)
1150 GS stopped in summer 2004

There is a way to check how many are still in use, anyone remember how to do it?

There were only 514 1150GSAs produced/sold? That can't be right? Is that worldwide?

EDIT:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_R1150GS

"A total of 58,023 standard R1150GS models and 17,828 Adventure models were made."

 

[ThreeDawg]

Yeah, thought it was a bit of a suspect number, UK only and on the road though, but still off the mark.

 

[Deise]

was never going to sell this , unfortunately house fire put paid

 

[tuftywhite]

That's sad. It's a beauty, just like mine.
