Where do you look for used bikes for sale?

Normally I hit up CL, ebay, cycletrader... when I'm browsing for something but I don't know what I'm looking for.

This time... I'm shopping for a '99-'05 BMW R 1150GS Adventure with saddle bags that has had love. I can find exactly zero for sale in the entire country using the above means. Even google only finds one - with a stock photo and no details somewhere at a dealer in Ohio.

I'm not "exactly" ready to buy plane tickets today but I'm actively looking for that bike. Anybody got good sources for classifieds?

WTF. I need some new sources.

Try http://www.advrider.com/ or http://www.bikefinds.com/

Look for a BMW bike forum.

Do you think this will go with a hen speckled monocle?

There's the car old joke, what's the difference between a BMW and a porcupine? (porcupine has pricks on the outside). BMW bike = porcupine???

I see plenty of GS 1200s but 1150s seem hard to find. Any reason why the earlier version is preferred?

Craigslist. I usually find a bike in Chicago, then find something similar in Milwaukee for 40% less.
