Cheap end: 97 BMW f650 (lost title) $250, 02 BMW R12OOC (lost title) $750, 1971 Ossa 250 Pioneer that's now a MXer $400, 74 CB450 twin (have title) $400, 1978 CB750K (have title) $500, 73 XL350 $500

Not so cheap 06 BMW K1200R $2000 have spare engine but both engines need work (have title)

The more you buy the cheaper they'll get 

I'll have to retake picks but only the Ossa BMW K and CB750K are all together.  The rest are in different states of togetherness

A guy would probably get more interest if he posted where the things are located.

His info shows Gaithersburg MD.  Not sure if that's where the bikes are

I'm interested in pics of the cb750 and the k1200. What's wrong with the K? I need a 4th BMW K bike like I need a hole in my head, but the k1200r is the coolest kind of ugly.

One engine got hydrolocked (deep puddle, lol) and the other, I believe,  is a second gear issue. It has an Akropovic exhaust too, FWIW.

If you're bored, you can have all 3 BMWs for $2500. The R12OOC has a lot of goodies including windshield, second seat, side bags, Wilbur's shocks, factory lift, tank bag, and so on.

I'd love the Ossa (but can't).   Do you know the Ossa that someone aftermarket, married two Ossa engines side by side to make a Twingle?

The OSSA twin was called the Yankee. It had a crankshaft that could be reclocked, so 180 degree like most two stroke twins of the era, or 360 degree which may be what you refer to as a twingle. I have seen one, and it looked nice. A bit heavy. It was a bit slow in development. "The first prototype was built in 1968, but actual production didn’t start until 1971."

If you were closer to Chicago I would be trying to find places to tuck these away for the long winter time and tinkering.

Love the older K bikes. After the 1100 rs/lt moved on to way to modern and sophisticated, not so much. 
Tried a 97 F650, hoping I'd like it, but didn't!

That said, I wouldn't turn a cheap one down blush

But, no work all summer, a truck that gets 10mpg, and gotta be in S FL in two weeks for a short job. 
So, back to logistics problems. 
Do have a new GRM friend near Waldorf md.
