2008 BMW R-SERIES

2008 BMW R-Series. For your consideration is this UNBELIEVABLE custom built BMW with EZS sidecar. Originally built to travel the world. Alas, life intervened and she was relegated to a wistful dream and used for parades, local commutes, and the occasional bike show. For your consideration is this UNBELIEVABLE custom built BMW with EZS sidecar. **ONE OF A KIND** Originally built to travel the world. She began her journey with me as a yellow/black livery bike which my son dubbed “Bumblebee” because of the color scheme (not the Transformer..) Alas, life intervened and she was relegated to a wistful dream and used for parades, local commutes, and the occasional bike show. Fast forward to COVID & 15 months of lockdown and isolation provided me with the time to fully realize my original vision for this motorcycle. NO EXPENSE SPARED on this machine. Performance upgrades make her growl through the Black Widow downpipes and GPR muffler. Cosmetic upgrades throughout with stunning matte Black paintwork, custom black upholstery, reflective black custom decals including all BMW logos blacked out. There are tongue-in-cheek logos (X-Drive) and a touch of whimsy with the 3 Bumblebees enamel logos which were added as a nod to my sons nickname for the bike. The EZS sidecar was imported from Holland w/ an independent brake and was crafted at DMC in Enumclaw by their chief engineer “Barry”. This was a 9-month initial build. Sidecars come in many guises and there are more than a few “ADV” hacks on the market: a new URAL can command a price north of $30K. However, there is NOTHING like this bike ANYWHERE. I’m constantly asked if this is a “factory” bike because it’s the perfect pairing. The lines of the EZS compliment the GSA more than anything else out there. There are many options for becoming a “hack-pilot” and this rig is the ultimate 3-wheel experience! There are 2 versions of the bike: standard tourer or a stripped down “streetfighter” look with mini flyscreen and custom rear seat cover. All components are provided to allow the new owner to switch between the 2 versions as the mood takes them! I have invested countless hours, researched extensively and spent in excess of $60K to bring my vision to life. My hope is that she finds a home with a rider who can admire her for the feat of engineering she is, and/or the beautiful presence she commands. Extras (extensive list and probably overlooking many items): Tonneau cover “roof cover” for passenger Locks keyed to bike – imported from Germany Wunderlich rear carrier Hard case bag liners Garmin Motorrad GPS Blackout wheel stripes – reflective Blackout hard case wraps Blackout decals – reflective Touratech locking GPS cradle Interchangeable rear wheel/sidecar wheel – OEM imported from Germany New tires Black Widow Down pipes GPR muffler (original included) Solo seat cover Bar end mirrors Fly Screen Heated grips Rear Hugger Aftermarket levers *Please note: Outstanding recall due for fuel pump – light is on as a consequence. ANY BMW motorcycle dealership will take care of this. I do not have the time to remedy at this point. Bike can be shipped from BLAINE, WA at your expense – I have always had a positive experience using HAUL BIKES.
