Howdy Folks! Selling the BMW. And yes, for HYCY members there is a "bro" or "sis" deal. Send me a PM. Below I copied and pasted the ad below (here's the link http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/mcy/973959241.html)
Hi! I'm selling a 1997 BMW R850R, black and silver in color (rare color scheme), and title in hand. My wife and I have a 6 mo. old child now and I don't ride it as much any more (can’t install a car seat). Great for commuting with lots of room in both saddlebags. Runs strong with 46,000 miles and oil changes every 3,000 miles. Front tire has 500 miles on it. The rear is still in good shape. It has a new windscreen. I replaced the starter and battery approximately 6 months ago. This bike is great for MC patterns, commuting, running errands, or cruising around. I’m asking $3850 OBO (Kelly Blue Book for this bike is $3945; Sorry no trades).
