Hey fellow riders and dreamers! Are you on the hunt for the ultimate do-it-all motorcycle? Meet my beloved 2005 BMW R 1200 GS—a legend in its own right and the perfect partner for any adventure, whether it’s a wild tour across the country, a winding California canyon ride, or just cruising the coast to grab a coffee.
Why this bike?
I’m the lucky second owner and have enjoyed this beauty for 18 years. It’s not just garage-kept—it’s been spoiled. Mechanically flawless, lovingly maintained, and loaded with all the goodies that make every ride a treat.
Standout Details:
Rock Red Metallic Paint with Wire Wheels – Rare and classic, this color sparkles in the sun and stands out in any crowd.
Heated Grips – No matter how chilly the morning, your hands will thank you.
ABS – Safety is always first; this GS keeps you confident no matter the weather.
Riding Lights – SEE and BE SEEN, day or night.
Tall Windscreen – Highway runs are smooth and breezy, not windy.
Engine & Tank Guards – Ride with peace of mind, whether on-road or exploring dirt paths.
Full BMW Hard Bag Set (Side Cases + Top Case) – Whether you travel light or pack for weeks, there’s room for it all.
Factory Cruise Control – Set it and forget it on those long, lovely stretches of road.
A little personal touch:
This bike isn’t just a machine. It’s my adventure companion and my ticket to freedom. From local Sunday rides to unforgettable road trips, it’s never let me down. It’s always been treated to timely maintenance, quality oil, clean living conditions (aka garage), and care you don’t always see in used bikes. The legendary BMW boxer engine purrs like new and always starts with a smile.
More perks:
Fresh tires and battery – just hop on and go!
Original owner’s manuals, keys, and some cheery BMW stickers included.
Registration up to date and CA title is CLEAR and ready for a new chapter.
Who’s this bike for?
If you want a no-excuses, adventure-ready GS that needs nothing but a pilot, this is your chance. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer, a new touring fan, or just want the coolest commuter on the block—this BMW can do it all…in style!
You’ll be hard-pressed to find a GS in this condition and with this much gear anywhere in SoCal!
Ready to take it for a spin or have questions? Drop me a message and let’s talk! Serious buyers only, please—this bike deserves a good home and endless adventures.
Located in Carlsbad, CA. See you soon, future GS legend!... Interesting trades might be considered. I blew out my knee so my riding days are over.
