Garage Art

Sheesh, I call my own nice S-bike "Garage Art" but check out this auction (any of you bidding?):
2003 BMW R1100S ONLY 470 ORIGINAL MILES

Hey, several other interesting toys for sale in that "garage"...

I think I see just a bit of oil below the ring. No seat cowl. Other than that it was manufactured on my 56th birthday. An omen? Hmmmm.

This place is about 3/4 of a mile from my house, and one of the service writers lives a few doors up from me. I will stop in tomorrow and see what the deal is.

TJS, would you be willing to sell my mandarin back to me? Trade, etc?

Immaculate. Where is the cowl (a question to ask)?

Other than that, no luggage rails, standard shock, blah blah...
Has ABS, does it have heated grips?

Still, a perfect average specimen...

Hope they aren't thinking it's worth $10K

Seems that auction ended early as "no longer available" with all bids cleared. I'm curious if eBay traffic (maybe forums like this) caused a face-to-face purchase transaction. Hey, no complaints here 'cus I was simply intrigued what would unfold. But still time on their other eBay listing which definitely would make worthy Garage Art! Sadly, my shrinking retirement "nest egg" dictates much more modest discretionary spending on toys...

Hmm $6,900 is within range of a much newer r1200s (stock without Ohlins). I'd find $1,500 to add. Guess it depends on what people want... Or know.
