This very original Laverda 1200 TS is a rare example of a special motorcycle, an “Executive Jet” on two wheels.

A remarkable example of a unique Italian sport touring bike in very clean condition … a great addition to any serious collection and an exciting machine to ride. For sale in San Francisco on Craigslist.
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.
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.

250cc aircooled bimmer for sale in Olympia on Craigslist. Currently holds 5 records at Bonneville and has been completely overhauled since the records. Currently street titled as well with working electronics.
1977 Yamaha XT500 - $4,500
Local Yamaha lover selling an XT500. The bike looks properly maintained and has a great vintage feel. These motors have a long history of racing and are fun to ride. Original paint? Hard to tell. Low miles. For sale in Half Moon Bay on Craigslist.
1992 BMW R100GS - $6,500
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. Complete pannier and top case set included. Would be good to touch base on head, transmissions, and drive shaft maintenance. For sale in the Gold Country on Craigslist.
1975 Ducati 860 - $6,800
Cool old Ducati with a starter (big plus if you want to ride it). Needs to be restored but it’s complete and the owner has a title. For sale in LA on Craigslist.
1995 BMW R100 GSPD Classic - $9000 OBO
For sale on eBay in Alabama. This is the last year of the airhead from BMW. They made a few of these black GSPD bikes and this one has some nice upgrades like light switch and heated grips.

Two RT's today | 1986 BMW R80 RT - $4,000
Lots of maintenance items mentioned in the ad which is a plus. Not the top dog but the 80 motor is quite smooth in general compared to the 100. Back rest is a plus if you have a passenger. Relatively low miles and the bike also comes with panniers. For sale in Portland on Craigslist.
83 BMW R100RT - $3,250
Good looking RT with pannier and Corbin seat added(in some of the photos?). Good idea to see if the heads and transmission have been rebuilt. Lower fairing removed, likely for easier access for maintenance. For sale in Sonoma on Craigslist.
