Mike here is THEE rig you are looking for:

https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/d/seattle-2004-bmw-r1150-gs-adventure/7769647542.html

There is phenomenal history with this BMW...LBS....sidecar rig.

It is currently owned by a gent named Robert, he is new to sidecars, he lives ....or...the sidecar rig is currently stored in Marin County, Calif, which is north of San Francisco, north of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Robert bought this rig, then found out that due to shoulder injuries, he can only drive it 30 miles, before he is hurting. That is on him...not a dog gone thing wrong with this sidecar rig.

This rig was formerly owned by Mike Paull, as his personal rig, and was his rig stored in Europe, so it has a lot of LBS items on it, worked on by Ad Donkers at LBS sidecars in the Netherlands, then was shipped back to the US, and Mike Paull decided to sell it, and build a new one, which he is currently driving around Europe.

This has Mike Paull and Ad Donkers handy work all over it.

I think it is priced a little high, at $ 24,500.00, but, considering what you are getting, it may be priced just right.

One thing you can be 100% certain of, if this was Mike Paull's former rig, then the electrical wiring is...priceless.

If case you didn't know...Mike Paull is LBS-USA   https://www.lbs-usa.com/

Since it's a dealer who's listed it, maybe the asking price is soft.

If it had LBS leading link forks and a car pusher, $30k would be pretty attractive, assuming you wanted a Mike Paull rig.  It's not like these rigs show up in the open market very often.  I think he's only built like about a dozen of these GS rigs.

Actually, Ned, there have been three (3) Mike Paull built Sidecar rigs on the market in the past year.
