For Sale: 2005 BMW R1150 GSA - Calgary, Alberta Canada

This is the Ultimate and Classic Off-Road Adventure Bike. Made famous by Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman (see YouTube clip).

With higher specs than the baseline GS, the GSA (Adventure) comes equipped for superior off-road performance with lower gear ratios, better suspension, heated grips, and a larger fuel tank (30 L) - plus wrap-around frame guards to protect the bike in case of a fall. The bike also comes with two factory aluminum BMW panniers, and BMW luggage.

After market add-ons:

Wide platform footpegs and a custom saddle make for great off-road riding on multi-day trips.

A 12V adapter and heated jacket adds extra comfort. (Size: Large).

A GPS cable adapter (connected to the battery).

A RAM handlebar mount with cellphone holder.

Flexible Oxford front turn signals (upgraded from the brittle factory spec).

If you need a helmet, I have a Scorpion (size L) - new this spring (Scorpion EXO-AT950) - for sale separately.

After market LED lights add extra confidence and security in rain or low-light conditions - especially off-road where wildlife is a concern.

The bike has been serviced regularly.

Other accessories included :

Battery trickle charger, hand tools, jumper cables, portable air compressor, "bacon strips" patch kit for repairing flats in the field and more.

This bike is prepared to go anywhere. The only reason I'm selling the bike is due to a shoulder injury.

*Asking $6500 CDN or $5000 USD

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
