BMW Other description

Very low miles at 9, 149 mis (Not sure if this is real or not. The previous owner thought that they might be actual miles. The bike was being restored over a 20 yr period so it may be accurate.) Exhaust system (purchased new stainless steel reproduction exhaust from Keihan Systems in the UK in spring 201 ). New seat Wiring (New wiring harness, sealed battery, switches, etc.) completed spring 201 Transmission (Transmission completely rebuilt with new seals and bearings summer 201 by a vintage BMW) Carb work (Carbs were cleaned, seals replaced, new bushings, gaskets, rubber pieces, etc spring 201 ) Seat (purchased new from Benchmark Works in spring 201 ) All new cables.. Fluids (The bike has been sitting dry in the POs living area as a show piece. All new fluids (engine oil, transmission, drive shaft, and final drive) in summer 201 . Valves adjusted summer 201 . The bike runs and drives very well. It is a powerful bike! It starts on the rd or fourth kick, but I am guessing that it will be a one or 2 kick bike once the new piston rings (installed by the previous owner) find their home. I have put on less than 50 mis since completion. The bike was professionally repainted at a bike shop in Minneapolis in the early 90s. The paint is very nice and the pin striping is near perfect. It does have some nicks here and there and a couple small bubbles/drips on the tank, but it is VERY nice. The tires have less than 50 mis on them (as does the complete bike since being finished earlier this summer). The chrome (on the bars, wheels, air tubes, mirrors, etc.) is bright and shiny near perfect. The engine is very clean and has no leaks.

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

BMW reported a record second quarter with sales of 40,209 motorcycles for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The quarter saw a year-on-year increase of 15.5% from sales of 34,816 motorcycles reported in 2012. For the year to date, BMW has sold 64,941 motorcycles, also a record for first half sales in the company’s 90 years in the motorcycle business (those numbers however do include 1,110 Husqvarna motorcycles sold in the first quarter before the brand was acquired by Pierer Industries.) The record half comes in the face of a worldwide decline of 7.1% for motorcycles 500cc and larger over the first six months.

BMW “Persistent Erection” Lawsuit Dismissed

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

The Superior Court of San Francisco has dismissed lawsuits against BMW and Corbin-Pacific Inc. brought on by a man who claimed a motorcycle ride gave him an erection that lasted for several months. The story made headlines and drew much ridicule after the man said vibrations from his 1993 BMW K1100RS and Corbin aftermarket seat resulted in a case of priapism, a condition in which a penis remains erect for a prolonged period of time.

Go camping with your bike

Thu, 05 Jul 2012

Keep your bike close to you when you go camping with the MOTOTENT from motorcycle adventurers Lone Rider. Priced at £450, here's a round-up of the features from Lone Rider: The MOTOTENT is spacious enough to shelter a dual sport bike as big a BMW R1200 GSA with all its luggage, to have room to work on it, and to be able to stand in the tent. The tunnel-shaped design allows a very quick setup of the tent when needed.
