What about the Cruiser. That was gaudy I thought.

With the prices of bikes and stuff going on here I had to respond. I still have my original title to the Dover white 1960 BMW R-50 I bought new in 1960. I lost the title years ago and only found it after I cleaned out my mothers house after she died. I think a $1,000,000 price for it sounds fair and more than reasonable. It does have my name on it so that has to be worth a bunch. Come on, all BMW riders are wealthy, so what's a measly million, zillion dollars? Pocket change to BMW riders?
Item 2 - I heard another silly rumor going around BMW actually built bikes after 1970??? No, I didn't think that rumor was true. Everybody knows all REAL BMW's have earls front forks.

In reality these guys that post BS stuff on ebay don't care what anyone thinks except the guy that buys into the story and hands over the cash. Ebay is a con mans wet dream.

For a while there was a guy listing chain and sprocket sets for R80RTs on ebay.

It's not only eBay, recently at a bonhams auction here in the uk , there were some Brough motorcycles for sale, a colection of rusty parts sold for £58k, it was a relatively common brough bike (a 68osv I think). The rarer complete and looking to be in working order SS80 sold for £63k........which would you go for?

I've got one of them new-fanged /5's. Not bad, but it'll just be a flash in the pan...

Found a few funnies.

$18.41 for a fistful of filthy fender fasteners.

oh wait... only $20.73 for the front fender bolts.
You'd think OEM bolts were gold plated under all that road grime. I don't know what high bastard would spend nearly $40 on a bunch of bolts, even for a concours resto.

No, no, no. That's not filth. That's "patina." You pay a premium for that.

[helion42]

"a paltry package of patinated parts peddled for premium prices"

[rudolf35]

I just posted some leftover parts I wonder if I should Flea-Bay them? Together they might let me retire; the parts still have the stock patina on them! But then again, a /5 is one of them newfangled BMW's and that fad will fade soon. LOL!!

Only $4842.99

People are lining up to buy this one.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ENGINE-START...sories&vxp=mtr

And only $1743.99 for this one...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRANS...item19cdd8588a

SOLD AS IS. ALL PARTS SOLD AS NOT WORKING JUNK. NEED CLEAN UP, PAINT, OIL ELBOW GREASE, ETC. NO RETURNS, NO EXCHANGES, NO WARRANTY. IF YOU NEED WORKING PART - THIS PART IS NOT FOR YOU.

This guy must be nuts.


Let's see....$4842.99 + $1743.99 = $6586.98.......I wonder if he'd take an offer of $6550.00?
