    2006 BMW K1200R, This machine arrived looking very nice but also as a not ridden often enough and it was simply not running very well. As expected by our technical staff it was suffering from old fuel, a clogged filter and a few other small ills. Upon closer inspection we found some slightly rusty hardware, a fuel strip that was not accurate and a fuel pump that had seen too much sitting verses riding.

    2012 BMW K1600GTL, Sure, we could have fibbed and said it was a Dealership Demo, Bob's personal bike, etc but the truth is that one of our very good customers had a great time on this bike for a little over 10 months and then decided to trade it in towards a loaded R1200R which simply suited his needs better for this year's riding fun. But it might as well be new except that it now has 24 months and 32,000 miles of remaining BMW factory warranty coverage in addition to the additional coverage it qualifies for under our ADVANTAGE CERTIFIED program. When new it was a fully loaded GTL and that really is a fully loaded bike -- BMW Luxury Package, Adaptive Headlight, Bluetooth Interface, Radio Software, Central Locking, LED Fog Lights, Dynamic Traction Control, Electronic Suspension Adjustment (on the fly), Full BMW Safety Package which includes Anti-Lock Braking System, Tire Pressure Monitoring and the Anti-Theft Alarm System, heated seats and grips and an on board computer offering all sorts in helpful info.

    Bike has been well maintained, all records available to show this, by professional mechanics (Bob's BMW, MD; Tom Turnbal, Baltimore). I'm the second owner and enjoyed it for 6 months before deciding I wanted a speed bike. Bike runs perfectly, starts every time, needs nothing mechanically. Metzler Lasertech tires have plenty of tread left. Additions: round headlight setup (seen in photo) is easy to assemble, I have all parts; Vetter "Quicksilver" fairing and saddlebags available, with keys; full bmw toolkit. Issues: speedometer (works) but needle broke. This bike is ton of fun to ride, extremely reliable, and will run for literally hundreds of thousands of miles longer.

The owner is not close enough to Bob???s to be back for all the services so he had them preformed closer to home but this bike was traded in on his new R1200GSW so he remains a loyal Bob???s customer despite the distance involved.The prior and only owner also added a beautiful set of adjustable Alloy Control Levers, quite a few nice Carbon Fiber pieces, an extra accessory switch, the BMW luggage rack and a very nice Akropovic Exhaust Pipe that offers both great looks plus a sporty exhaust note.As you???d expect at Bob???s it comes with a spare key, owner???s manual, factory supplied tool kit and has passed both the Maryland State Inspection as well as our ADVANTAGE CERTIFIED Program inspection and extended test ride. A very sweet machine ready for your fun.

    1964 BMW R60/2, In early 2012 we purchased this bike in from the original owner, a wonderful man Bob has known since he was in high school as he went there with his daughter. Paul purchased this machine new in 1964 and never purchased another bike. His owning this bike was actually one of the connections that led to Bob buying a BMW himself in 1975 and ending up in this business as Paul introduced him to many people in the local community (separate from the local organized club) who helped Bob develop the love he has for all things BMW.

    2007 BMW F650GS Dakar, Here's a very rare and very desirable BMW Motorcycle ready for some new adventures. The bike has had just two owners the first guy purchased it here at Bob's in December of 2006 and owned it for just 19 months and then we sold it to the long time customer and friend of Bob's whose put most of the miles on it. He's done a very nice job of caring for it along with adding most all of the stuff you'd want on a bike that is capable of being ridden anywhere as the original owner left it basically as stock when acquired.The extras are also what make this example with under 10,000 original miles really special.

    2002 BMW K1200RS, We don???t get enough really clean, fully serviced used sport touring machines regardless of the model or vintage from the BMW line up to generally meet the demand we see so when one shows up that has what we feel is a solid heart and a strong drive line but may be in need of some services, minor to medium repairs and even some light cosmetic attention we???ll still gladly take it in and make the full investment to bring it up to our high standards. This is one of those stories and one of those bikes and the end result is even better than we???d hoped for. And the regular client we took it in trade from has owned it since 2003 so it???s basically had only one home even though it has had two owners as best we can tell.With below average miles and generally a good overall history it simply needed to be brought up to date in all areas and needed a new windscreen due to some scratches and decals plus there were a few nicks and dings that indicated it had tipped over, likely in a parking lot or driveway and more than once or even had a small spill so it did not look beautiful but could be once again.

This K1200LT Custom originally served as the official Bob???s Sales demo when first placed into service back on October 6 of 2003 and then the only actual owner it has had purchased it from us in May of 2004. It has led a fairly pampered life since then logging just a little over 27,000 miles in the past 8 plus years and other than what appeared to be a typical and very minor parking lot or driveway tip over it shows zero signs of any damage, incidents or neglect or even outside storage.

    2007 BMW K1200GT, We've had very steady demand over the past few years for this exact machine, thankfully we've also seen more than a few very nice examples arrive at Bob's in the form of trades plus a few we got to just purchase when someone was making space in their garage or lives for other things. Despite that good fortune we've not had one available more often that we'd like. With just a little over 10,000 miles this one is barely broken in so it makes for an exceptionally good value by comparison to most other used examples most of our previous offerings while in excellent shape still had 25,000 plus miles on them when they arrived.
