Born Again owner - very stoked

I'm coming back to BMW after an extended hiatus. I sold off the 1998 R1100RT in order to get married and crank out a few kids which is now done. Whew!

I'm picking up a black/copper '05 Rockster in September. Only has 9400 miles on it. PERFECT condition. Just ordered up a new lid as well, a Schuberth S1 PRO. It's covered in Carbon Fiber and has the Carbon Remus exhaust.

I've posted the pics that I have below and will post more when I get em.

Welcome back to BMW.

Based on the pics, your bike has several aftermarket enahancements, including a rare belly pan fairing.

I'm not a big fan of the little blue foot pegs, but everything else looks sweet. Congrats!

Yeah I'll pbly swap out some of the parts. The PO has all the original parts. He's got it COVERED in carbon fiber and anodized pieces. Too much in my taste. I'll have to tweak it to my liking and post more pics.

Doing a quick tally based on your photos:

Aftermarket mirrors;
GS handguards;
Carbon fiber oil cooler covers;
Euro belly pan;
Anodized pegs;
Tail bag rack (assuming you've got the tailbag too);
Clear tail/brake plastic;
Rockster pillion panel;
Paralever strut;
Carbon fiber rear tire hugger;
Remus Revolution in carbon.

Sure I'm missing something...

That's near $3k retail for those parts. Sell and buy lots of gas and tires!

Wild set-up for panniers/top box?

Rear wheel center hole cap.....

I have the same bike in Green here in Scotland with 20k miles on the Clock. Toured Ireland last weekend with my Darling and luggage on the back; never missed a beat, and a real head turner too. Rock on!

Yeah the pics show various parts. Sometimes they're shiny, sometimes blacked. We'll see what I get.

I live in Castle Rock, CO. I'm flying to Sacramento, CA to check out the bike and if all is well, buy it and ride to San Francisco where I'm staying with my aunt for a few weeks. I'll ship the rest of the parts home and ride home solo. I'm VERY MUCH looking forward to my ADVENTURE 2010!

Got the beastie! Uploaded a couple pics to my picasaweb:

Man, she is a beaut! Hardly a scratch on her and I'm the fourth owner. I've already taken it further than the previous owner ever got. I think this thing has spent more time in the garage than on the road.

When I get it home to Colorado (I flew to Sacramento, CA then rode it to San Francisco, CA and am hanging out with my aunt for a few weeks then riding it home) I'm going to throw some new rubber on it, sync the throttle bodies, and change the oil. The only service that's ever been done was the 6000 mile check-up! It's got more aftermarket parts on it than you can strap to the bike. I had to ship a box of parts home.

I remember when I had my '98 R1100RT and the Rockster first came out it was love at first site. I took one for a test ride. I almost traded in the RT right then and there. Always wanted one ever since. My "dream bike" so to speak (next to a MV Agusta F4).

Now it's my turn, beotch! Can't wait to take her to the moutain twisties in Colorado!
