Trunk?
Am I looking at that right, or are there saddle bags up on the back trunk rack?
Ahh, nevermind, just looked that way from the side, ha.

It's a trick of the camera angle:

being a Beemer dealer,they probably think it's worth it's weight in gold.
 Decent looking though.

Interestingly enough, they state in the text they will not disclsoe the reserve price, however, there is none on the auction. So this baby is going to the high bidder, no matter how cheap.

Looks good at 10 feet, but the finer detail pics show the finish wear for sure. I'd rather have a bike with good finish on the engine metal, exhuast, etc, knowing I can rebuild everything else. Can't rebuild the finish however...

The chrome is tough to get a better finish. The aluminum is not horrible. And the painted part not tough.

Pretty decent looking bike; if it were closer, I'd take a shot at it. The chrome won't clean up to like new, but certainly presentable. Paint looks very good...
