Have you looked on Kijiji? There are several R1200 GS's in Alberta depending on your budget, there may be something of interest there.

Local Dealer

This is our local BMW dealer and he has some used on his site. The benifit of buying in Alberta is that there is no provincial sales tax.

Hi there,
Kijiji is great and you can select province and locality, you should also try Craigslist.... Similar format....
Where are you flying to ? What are you specifically looking for..

Also try Dave Anderson who runs an independent BMW shop Anderwerks in Calgary:

Dave often has customer bikes for sale and might be able to help you.

2nd had BMW

As suggested: Kijiji, Craigslist, ebay motors and other used sites are a good bet. Depending on where you are flying in - call all local dealers. Should be trade in's this time of year.

also: the Internet BMW Riders marketplace The IBMWR Marketplace: R- Oilhead Twins (R-bikes, 1994 on): bikes for sale, page 1

Not Canada specific, but usually has a good selection and a good place to go to check prices/ values for used bikes.
