If so. I haven't discovered it yet.

Several of the web-based BMW organizations have "classified ads/sales" areas. Check these.
Others may offer add'l resources. Folks?

I believe it searches both Craigslist and eBay simultaneously.

Here's a link that some genius devised, and it will allow you to search Craigslist as far and wide as you wish. You plug in the mileage parameters and it goes from there.
I've tried it several times and it seems to work great too. It can also search Ebay if you want it to.

Good luck with your searches! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

ps: And don't forget the Internet BMW Riders site classifieds either, they're another excellent resource for bikes, parts, tools, etc...

+1 on the ibmwr.org list - it is already sorted out, and generally the folks there are a cut above what you'll find on the other "generic" sites in terms of honesty, and experience with the marque.

I tried that jaxed.com site last night and used it to search for any R1200Cs in the southeast, and it led me to a really nice black 1999 Classic only a few miles away from me that I somehow overlooked!  And it just might be the one I end up buying!  How cool is that?!?!

So, thank you, thank you, thank you for turning me on to this cool site!   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I've found that http://www.crazedlist.org works well too, but it seems like it only works with FF. IE can't turn off referring headers.
