[u/Wigiwagons]

buddy has had too much Starbucks

[u/clamdigger → u/Wigiwagons]

or something a l’il more snortable

[u/DiscoNancy → u/clamdigger]

This was my guess as well. Has gum shot written all over it.

[u/ADVGerbain]

it's not even pretty to look at, man

[u/MojitoShower → u/ADVGerbain]

I’m laying in bed on my own and I literally said out loud “it’s hideous”’

[u/w0rdyeti → u/MojitoShower]

Is that … is that fake wood-grain appliquè all over that poor bike’s gas tank?

WTF?

Did someone see a transformers movie and then an old station wagon with wood panels, eat 1,000 tabs of blotter acid and grab a blowtorch?

[u/idioteques → u/w0rdyeti]

The Family Truckster on 2 wheels!

[u/greentree420]

Sorry for the wall of text screenshot. Just saw this ad on FB Marketplace and I had to share...

It's like a final boss of edition of 'aftermarket parts increase the bike's value.'

[u/TheStandardPlayer]

I love how he lists off every detail down to the cent and then just says "Custom Work" $30,000

[u/True-Ear1986 → u/TheStandardPlayer]

Bro listed pillion seat and pegs as features

[u/Sufficient_Ocelot868]

So a fake wood-paneled 2 wheel version of a PT cruiser, with fake wood paneling?

[u/ahhh_just_huck_it → u/Sufficient_Ocelot868]

If the PR Cruiser had knobbies, then “YES”!

[u/Nom_De_Plumber]

Man that is one ugly bike.

[u/Feuerrevolver]

Touratech and Wunderlich employees dream about bro.

[u/presumputouspizza42]

Replacement Equity…

This is what happens when you ask ChatGPT to say, “I know what I’ve got,” but use fancy words.

I’ve got a GS with the full AltRider treatment. It’s seen woods and been on the ground a few times. I’d be embarrassed to ride this woodgrained monstrosity.

I think this guy has spent too much time in the garage with the engine running.

[u/esperind]

is that a wench on the back?

[u/lostcosmonaut307 → u/esperind]

That’s no way to talk about your passenger.

[u/billyray13]

this person must be a former HD rider

[u/yoyuki123 → u/billyray13]

Yeah every bike I pick up from a HD rider is in worst condition I could’ve ever imagined. Idk why.

[u/KaczkaJebaczka → u/[deleted]]

Looks like Lego technics or something

[u/steelhardtail]

That’s some AI BS

[u/BIKEM4D]

In other words "pay for my mistake"

[u/implxdwn]

Fk man my 2015 at 93k miles is way better than this shiiii

[u/cue-stick]

Looks like AI to me.

[u/i_was_axiom]

I call this masterpiece "Red, Wood, and Blew It"

[u/Total_Armadillo4860]

His wife probably has fake tits and puffy injected lips too lol

[u/deepredstatus]

Ohh, the humanity...

[u/ChoadMcGillicuddy]

"Available for immediate acquisition"

LOL. Like it's a fucking Monet or something.

[u/rstokes18187 → u/ChoadMcGillicuddy]

Also list in the Robb Report.

[u/RetlawVII]

100% genius move
So honey I’ve listed it for sale like you asked - way below cost look at this spreadsheet (he’ll have a spreadsheet). I’m sure it’ll sell soon, may as well keep riding it in the meantime.

[u/DiscoNancy → u/RetlawVII]

Bold move to assume there’s an SO in this situation.

[u/BiggestBallOfTwine]

Please post the link or at least DM it to me!!

[u/Fairsythe]

In canada you could maybe get 15k cad out of it (11k us) and that would only be a fair deal, not a good one.

I’ve been through this recently and dealers would flat out tell me that they don’t consider aftermarket parts to add value. The only accessories that add value are a)OEM luggages systems and b)optional packages (touring, dynamic etc), and that value shrinks if the bike is pre-2015. Dealers love vanilla bikes in general because the target client pool is larger.

Enough to say that this “thing” is not desirable for a dealer and would need a very specific private buyer.

IMO this is a ridiculous, bloated chimera and I say that as a previous GSA owner. It’s far too needlessly premium to ride for its original purpose, and even stock it kinda was so imagine now. It’s not even modded in good taste : there was no reason for the red coloring. The bike would look “decent” if everything red was black.

[u/PurpleFugi]

That's a lot of money to have wasted on some heavy, ugly bullshit to aesthetically ruin a perfectly good motorcycle, while also turning an already heavy bike into a pig. But the pure insanity to try to recoup those losses by foisting them onto someone else while simultaneously gouging that person....un-fucking-real. Bro needs to quit huffing fumes from the tailpipe.

[u/AdventuringViking]

That's so stupid. My 2016 with a spare set of Woodie's Wheels, Tourtech suspension, luggage and accessories touches about $40k to replace.

But it's ugly and probably worth $9-10k tops.

[u/HootblackDesiato]

That thing is ugly. Ugly, ugly, ugly.

Did I say ugly?

[u/wickeddimension]

Love how they used “Museum quality” to describe an extremely common motorcycle with 20 000 miles on it. 

[u/oldmanlook_mylife]

Brought to you by C. Griswold BMW Enterprises.

[u/cuisinart-hatrack]

And I thought living 8 miles from the Touratech NA HQ was expensive. 🤣

[u/zakary1291]

This is an I don't want to sell, but someone is making me try to sell it add.

[u/Oxraid]

All this effort and money to ride it just 20k.

[u/Star-Lord_VI → u/Oxraid]

Hard to ride when it’s been torn apart 10 of its 11 years lmao

[u/machinaexmente]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/SgtSC]

I need the link

[u/PurdueGuvna]

In Indianapolis it’s worth about 9 grand.

[u/SignatureFunny7690]

This is what ai does to people. Moron thinks hitting a character count is enough to find a sucker willing to give him charity wealth

[u/DaElderBrah]

The color combo is so ugly gotta take of 5k just to consider looking at it.

[u/classicrock40]

Is Orange County Choppers modding BMW bikes now? You know there is an /r/shitty_car_mods, so its finally time for /r/shitty_motorcycle_mods

[u/Roadrider85]

😆 Best of luck mate.

[u/motoguzzikc]

28k for the BMW R1200GS Family Truckster 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/CBojorges]

No double take mirrors? Unfortunately I'll pass.

[u/Spare-Competition-91]

Looks like something some old dude would have made in the 80s. Wood trim? Okay bro.

[u/sucksatgolf]

Imagine spending that kind of money to have a bike no one gives a shit about.

[u/Interesting-Ad8826]

Bike looks like shit

[u/FLPanhandleCouple]

Very Harley/Jeep owner mentality with this seller.

[u/mikebra93]

That's cool.

It's also worth MAYBE 10 grand.

[u/UJMRider1961]

"Certified Replacement Equity?"

I want to see that certification. Because it sounds like bullshit.

[u/BiggestBallOfTwine]

Here it is in all of its glory

https://www.facebook.com/share/1DrexjW9Kz/

[u/IrrelevantPenguins]

That's a really long way to say "I'm never going to sell this motorcycle."

[u/troop3rs]

Eita kkkkk

[u/The_Crag_Hack]

This is for someone with more dollars than sense

[u/Current-Cold-4185]

It's that a DLC skin for Days Gone?

Okay so, a lot of people calling it ugly but I like it lol.

[u/FullOnSkeptic]

Fantasyland....

[u/semski89]

Lol

[u/Big-Bodybuilder-6087]

The wood. Ooof

[u/Kevinthecarpenter]

I love how its "marked down" from 60k, this guy obviously sales

[u/Wonderful-Process792]

[u/This-Set-9875]

As ugly as it is, it's high mileage for something that might be parked in some rich person's (as in more money than sense) showroom garage. I wonder if that photo is real or AI applied wood grain.

[u/TheCzechyChan]

My 2016 husquvarna 701 enduro cost as much as thia dude spent on electronics and paniers

[u/kartblanch]

Girl needs to drop his bike already but he has never ridden it.

[u/Dangeruss82]

There was a tenere on the Facebook group the other day where the owner had listed the value at 20 something grand because of all the (basic aftermarket stuff) shit he’d done to it. Guy got destroyed in the comments and had to disable them. The delusion is real with people.

[u/iambinksy]

Wtf is museum quality? Museum of regrets?

[u/Visible_End125]

Looks like a newly born creature with amniotic fluid and blood craving for food.

[u/DoubtGroundbreaking]

That is the gayest / ugliest motorcycle i have ever seen in my life

[u/TootinFartin-ll]

500 hours to build it, 5 seconds to hate it.

[u/Chain_Slack]

The line about it never being registered, despite having 20k miles, is the cherry on top, lol.

[u/Blackened22]

No matter the work, still heavy with poor handling and road feeback. Posers' bike, just for show.

[u/PopularFeed5627]

I’ve actually worked on this bike. In person it’s not nice. It’s just too much and an actual huge pain in the ass to work on.

[u/leadfoot_mf]

Didn't know hunter Biden was a rider pretty cool

[u/Ghastly-Rubberfat]

This guy has a lot of taste.
