  • Its not a fail, you got to enjoy the bike and you got your money back. I think this sort of thing may work better with beginner motorcycles.

    The tool is not 600 … it’s about 150, also most BMW owners have it .. it’s called obd link lx. Find someone with the tool and the app and reset service light for free !

    I'm with you on cleaning a bike before sale - it's probably the easiest and cheapest way of adding value. For future reference, you can restore sun-bleached plastics by gentle use of a heat gun.

    2013gs for 5400$? That's insane, prices in Europe are more than double for such gs( and our salaries are half of yours )

    I found the premise for this series really intriguing and I definitely hope you try again. Perhaps with the next one it can start out in a rougher shape but with a cheaper entry price, such that you have more scope to add value.

    Option 3: go on a BMW GS forum and find someone in your area who has the tool and will let you use it for a 6pack of beer.

    You should look for an africa twin next, such a good bike, and its beautiful on the blue version. To me it is literally a gs but more fun
  • There are 3 bikes in my garage that are all worth way more than I paid for them. All of them had issues that were relatively cheap & easy for me to fix, but they all took a while to find & I had to travel a fair distance for 2 of them. I bought them to ride & experience but, at least here in Australia, there are opportunities to fix & flip a bike for a profit if you have patience & are willing to travel for the right deal.

    Oil-cooled R1200GS were the best adventure motorbikes ever because of their weight. After them they keep getting heavier.
  • @doodskie999
    Another tip, skip that "black back" and use a cheap ceramic coating solution for the black or matte plastic parts. It will make it look like new and last for a year or two. My mt09 still looks like new even after 50k kms and 6 years of ownership. Dont overdo it though as it will looks like a mess
  • Don't use the green Scotch Brite on anything shiny. It will ruin the surfaces. White version, like the bathroom sponge back, is nearly as efficient but won't scratch...
  • @ownyourworld
    I have a 2007 r1200gs with 55000 miles on it and love it. I can seem to part with it even though I have the money.

  • my 2ct: very clean bikes are a great but probably expensive buy and very filthy bikes tend to be a good buy here in germany. guess all that oil and grime prevents rust just as good as wax does. try to avoid the middleground (washed often but superficially) though :D
