Ooh! Cheap BMW R1150RT!



Looks pretty! Lets see... good condition, low miles, some damage...



Really pretty! ... easy to repair...



AAAARGHH!! Get it away!! Augh!! It's like a zombie film!!

Remind me not to get one of those BMWs with the sticky-outy cylinders. Bad idea.

Riding one of those, you'd look like you had a hammerhead shark stuck up your arse.

Is this the "Storm trouper" edition???

The horror!
I know a talented wrench like you could make it pretty again, but the only easy maintenance on this model is valve adjustment. You have to get under the fairing and remove the gas tank to change the battery. Some things should be left to the anal German engineers whose mantra seems to be, "It's too easy! Make it harder to work on!"
