BMW K-Series description
|
Offered for sale is this very unique piece of BMW history. This is a pre-production bike, used by BMW of North America for shows and magazine road tests, and to introduce the then new BMW K bikes, including the Vail Co dealer intro in 1984. This has all been certified by the BMW archives. This is a matching number bike with clear title, ready to transfer into the new owners name. Included with the bike are a number of NOS parts, including a new seat. This is a one yer only seat that was changed for the 1986 models when the seat grab handles were moved to the seat cowl. Also included is an NOS throttle body set & air flow sensor, which cost over $2,200 new from BMW today. A new dash housing, clock and gear indicator, along withe an NOS muffler & shield are also included. The original Madison Silver sidecovers came with the bike, but they had broken mounting tabs, so I found these replacement covers with 1984 date codes. Also included (but not shown) are a spare set of lower fairing covers to replace the ones on the bike, should you decide to restore without the front crash bars (also with 84 dates codes from the same donor bike as the sidecovers). A rare Nivomat rear shock is also included. At about $500 US then, these accessory shocks were almost 5% of the selling price of the bike. They made thousands and thousands of K bikes, and I'm not sure that all of them will skyrocket in value over time the way R69S's have done, but low vin and preproduction bikes are always desirable. Collectors have been quietly adding select models to their collections over the last 10 years, and this is your chance to add what may be the oldest surviving K bike in the world to your own collection. Please ask all questions before bidding, and have your finances lined up too. Payment is expected with 7 days of auction end, and the bike should be picked up/shipped within one month of auction end (negotiable - but let me know what you have in mind before bidding). Overseas sales are welcome, but I cannot help with shipping quotes. Personal checks are fine, but this will delay pickup/shipment. Paypal payment ONLY if you agree to use the Friends and Family option (which has no fees for either of us if you are paying from a checking account or Paypal balance). Good luck! Note: I can deliver this bike to the AMCA National at Rhinebeck NY on July 2nd for no charge if that is of interest. |

2014 WSBK – Laguna Seca Results
Mon, 14 Jul 2014Marco Melandri rebounded from last week’s disappointing Portimao round to win Race One at Laguna Seca while Tom Sykes extended his championship lead with a win in a red-flagged Race Two. Melandri got taken out of the second Portimao race after his Aprilia teammate Sylvain Guintoli slid into his RSV4. Melandri looked eager to make up for that DNF, leading every lap of Race One on his way to his third win of the season.
BMW Standardizes Switches
Thu, 23 Oct 2008Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isn’t your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.
No Thru Road: Confessions of a Traveling Man
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Author of five books and thousands of articles, Clement Salvadori’s newest tome takes its reader on 30 varying trips around the world. From kick-starting a 500cc Single at 17,200 feet in the Tibetan Himalayas to riding to Pamplona, Spain, in 1960 to run with the bulls, the 416-page book is an adventure-travel enthusiast’s dream. An excerpt from chapter one, Afghanistan 1973, reads: “While working at the American embassy in Rome I decided that after five years I did not want to continue my career as a diplomat.
