1988 BMW R100 RT - $3,500
Low miles and beautiful paint on this vintage BMW R100RT. Later Mono lever which is lighter than the old twin shocks although you lose the rear disc brake. This one has really low miles and has a lot of touring left in it. Give it the usual airhead tune up and take it to Alaska! For sale in Sonoma CA on Craigslist.
1978 BMW R100S - $4,500
Just posted, this was the top dog when it came to power in the airheads, these have the best head casting design and made the most power of any airhead motor. There are some maintenance records in the post and some other bits that come with the bike like a new front bikini fairing but it’s unpainted. No mention of the original tool kit!? For sale in Oakland on Craigslist.
1971 BMW R60/5 - $6,300
Lovely toaster just popped up in the peninsula on Craigslist. From the ad, This beautiful R60/5 is in great running condition and has gone through recent maintenance to make sure it’s a reliable rider. Had the carbs cleaned and assembled with new gaskets, new plugs, valve adjustment, driveshaft checked and greased, all fluids changed, brakes checked and adjusted, and fresh tires put on. Has a nice toaster tank that comes with a bra to protect the paint and finish. Starts with electric starter and kick starter. Light control switches on the handlebars are a little finicky and will need some work but that’s about the only con. Frame and rear fender were painted a couple years ago and the engine had a rebuild about 10,000 miles ago.
1978 BMW R100RS - $6,000
High miles but lots of maintenance on this one. Engine has re-machined heads, new cylinders, new pistons, new lifters, relatively new camshaft. Front and rear brake calipers have been rebuilt with new pistons and pads. Brake lines have all been replaced with steel braided cable. Front and rear brake master cylinders have both been rebuilt. Beautiful repaint but missing the pinstripes. For sale in Seattle area on Craigslist.
1972 BMW R50/5 - $5,950
Slightly more pricey than the last airhead post and needs nothing! You also get a bonus seat with this one. Half the motor and horsepower thought. Really nice looking paint and seller appears to have cared for this one. For sale in Novato on Craigslist.
1981 BMW R100CS airhead - $4,600
Very limited run bike of only 600 units from BMW. I believe this is the quickest airhead. This one is a little banged up and needs a lot of work but worth saving! Perhaps the seller is willing to negotiate? For sale in West Sonoma on Craigslist.
1992 BMW R100GS - $5,000
Clean late model airhead GS. Hard to find em this cheap these days. Some of the usual upgrades and maintenance like generator and perhaps suspension. Time for a look at the heads and transmission but great base for a touring bike that’s very capable. For sale in San Francisco on Craigslist.
2005 Ducati 999 BiPosto - $7,300
Nice low mile Ducati 999 for sale in Napa on Craigslist. From the ad, This is a 2005 999 so the HP was bumped and same as prior “S” models at 140hp on a super light bike.
This classic bike is all stock with exceptions of small things like, levers, windscreen, tail tighty. The Ducati
history book included chronicles this successor to the 998 with focus to be the super bike entry, but with
more comfortable ergonomics and is eventually took three World Super Bike titles against the Japanese
bikes of the time. No need to educate anyone on the Ducati superbike lineage as you can google that.
Garage kept; this bike is clean as can be. Look hard and you can see some scratches from prior owner. I
took many close ups and some with the fairing off to highlight how clean it is. Reason for the sale is I
have four bikes already and at an age I do not use the bike the way it is intended. Clean title, “Red Key”,
owner’s manual, current registration. Have original wind Screen and Passenger rear tail seat.
Full Service done December 2020. Less than 500 miles on last service, it is ready to ride.
Valves adjusted, new belts, new plugs, all new hydraulic fluids, fork oil, coolant, engine oil and filter, fuel
filter, air filter, etc. Prior owner replaced clutch plates. When I purchased it got a new chain, later a new
battery and a new starter.
1983 BMW R65 - $4,500
Low miles on this mid 80’s airhead! The seller notes the bike is current on maintenance (new tires!) but also notes the bike needs a fork seal. Perhaps there is some wiggle room on the price based on this. Looks very clean and these bikes don’t need much other than valve adjustments and regular oil changes. For sale in Sebastopol on Craigslist.
1991 Harley 883 turbo - $3,000
Check out the carb setup on the turbo inlet on this one, looks really fun for 3k! 34k miles on this one and the current owner says it runs strong and starts right up. I’d take a look at the maintenance history and check the clutch. These are pretty simple machines which is nice for repairs. For sale in Concord on Craigslist.
1987 BMW K75 - $3,950

Decent mileage and appears to be very well maintained. Seller notes the bike purrs like a kitten. Tubeless before it was cool on an adventure bike and currently setup for solo touring.
