2002 BMW R1150GS – The Adventure-Ready Classic Machine That’s Likely Seen More Than You This adventure-ready motorcycle has been my trusty companion on countless journeys, but alas, after putting an electrode in my head, the doc says, “No more off-roading!” and insists that it is time to part ways. Are you ready to own a piece of motorcycling legend? Experience the perfect blend of reliability and performance with this 2002 BMW R1150GS. Renowned for its robust 1130cc boxer engine and exceptional handling, this isn't just a bike; this motorcycle is a seasoned adventurer with tales to tell (if only it could talk) and ready to take you on your next adventure. At only 138, 295 km, it has a lot of life left in it. I’m not saying that you will duplicate what "MotoHank" accomplished; riding over 804,672 kilometers on his 1996 BMW R1100GS on the original motor… but… who knows? Key Features: • Model: 2002 BMW R1150GS • Mileage: 138,295 km • Condition: Good, just returned from the spa where it had all its regular pre-season maintenance done, new rear brakes, replaced choke cable, balanced the throttle bodies, etc. Brand new cover for Sargent saddle. • Location: Sooke, British Columbia • Price: $5,000 OBO Why This Bike? • Built for Adventure: With its legenday robust 1130cc air/oil-cooled boxer engine, and smooth-shifting 6-speed transmission, this GS has tackled terrains that would make lesser bikes weep. • Battle-Tested: With versatile performance both on and off-road, this GS has faced everything from urban jungles to actual jungles. It's the Chuck Norris of motorcycles. • Comfort Meets Ruggedness: With its comfortable upright seating position, Telelever front and Paralever rear suspension, it's like riding a La-Z-Boy that's been hitting the gym. • Storage Galore: Comes with locking aluminium panniers spacious enough to fit your camping gear, groceries, and perhaps a small bear (not recommended). • ABS Brakes: Stops on a dime, or at least a Toonie. Quirks & Features: • Personality: Has more character than your average sitcom cast. • Conversation Starter: Be prepared for fellow riders to ask, "Is that the bike from 'Long Way Round'?" (Yes, yes it is!) • Name: Affectionately known as "The Beast" – because "The Mild-Mannered Companion" didn't have the same ring. Maintenance: Regularly serviced and pampered more than a show poodle. Recent oil change, brake check, and a thorough once-over to ensure it's ready for its next adventure. Why Sell? My wife says that it has been close to two years since the doc said that the bikes had to go, and there’s no room in the garage. So, as much as I love this two-wheeled explorer, I must face the fact that "adventure-induced adrenaline" no longer has a place in my life. Contact: Interested? Questions? Reach out, and let's chat!
