This BMW Motorcycles got away, but there are more like it here.

This 2004 BMW R1150GS Adventure is finished in black with yellow trim and accents and is powered by a 1,130cc air- and oil-cooled opposed twin paired with a six-speed transmission. Equipment includes an enclosed driveshaft, a yellow and black two-up seat, a high-mount front mudguard, a Telelever front end, triple disc brakes, wire-spoke wheels, PIAA auxiliary lights, engine guards, and BMW-branded hard cases. The motorcycle reportedly spent time in California before it was acquired by the seller in July 2021, and subsequent maintenance is said to have included replacing the oil cap and O-ring as well as changing the fluids. This R1150GS is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The seller notes a broken hinge on one of the hard cases as well as torn handgrips.

Wire-spoke wheels measure 19″ up front and 17″ out back and are mounted with Shinko Trail Master E-705 tires. Suspension consists of a Telelever front end with a single coil spring and Showa shock absorbers as well as a monoshock mounted to the Paralever swingarm and driveshaft enclosure. Braking comes from four- and two-piston calipers mounted over dual 304mm discs up front and a 276mm rotor at the rear, respectively, and the seller states that the brake fluid was changed under current ownership.
