No Reserve: 2023 BMW R1250GS Adventure Trophy

If you've been priced out of the adventure-bike conversation, this is your shot at the real deal before some flipper figures it out.

No Reserve: 1998 BMW R1200C
BMW's cruiser experiment: the R1200C is basically what happens when Stuttgart tries to build a Harley and ends up with a 1200cc boxer engine that actually runs—3,500 miles on an Ivory beauty at $2.8k screams sleeper investment before the nostalgia tax kicks in. If you want shaft-drive reliability and German engineering masquerading as American iron, this no-reserve Thursday closer is your play.
1969 BMW R69US
This 1969 BMW R69US has barely 2,500 miles and a freshly rebuilt 594cc boxer engine—a bulletproof workhorse from the era when BMW *invented* the adventure bike formula. At nine grand with period-correct Craven luggage, you're buying a time machine that actually runs, not a museum piece collecting dust.

The 1974 Norton Commando 850 is a legendarily cantankerous British parallel-twin that refuses to stay dead—this one's got that correct right-side shift and honest air-cooled grunt that modern riders either worship or flee from. At four grand no-reserve, you're gambling on either scoring a genuine cult classic or learning why Norton went bankrupt, and that's exactly the kind of calculated risk that separates collectors from tourists.
