BMW Other description
1964 BMW R60/2, In early 2012 we purchased this bike in from the original owner, a wonderful man Bob has known since he was in high school as he went there with his daughter. Paul purchased this machine new in 1964 and never purchased another bike. His owning this bike was actually one of the connections that led to Bob buying a BMW himself in 1975 and ending up in this business as Paul introduced him to many people in the local community (separate from the local organized club) who helped Bob develop the love he has for all things BMW. One of those guys was the only person to ever wrench on this bike until his passing about 16 years back and that???s when Bob and Bob???s started caring for it.It has always been garaged and well cared for and ridden regularly but not too far since it is now 49 years old and has just over 40,000 miles. Paul mostly rode it locally and to some of the BMW Rallies in the region. The service history that Bob???s BMW can share is rather extensive as Paul took most all our recommendations for maintenance, service and assorted upgrades so that it ran well all the time. When it came time for head work, resealing this or that or replacing the exhaust it was all done. The exhaust is stainless steel in fact. Again, we can open up the file and show you most all that???s been done over the years.Paul kept the cosmetics in exceptionally good shape and with the exception of the Craven top box all paint is to the best of Bob???s vast level of expertise original; there are maybe 2 or 3 small scratches to be found and they are not very noticeable. As you can see the tank and fenders shine brightly and those pin stripes have never been touched up. Yes, there are a few decals on the bags plus one travel badge attached to the front fender (2 screws) as was the style but overall with these very correct period touring accessories it fulfills the role of a classic BMW from the 1955 to 1069 era. If you look closely you???ll see a rare and very period Iron Cross extra tail lamp under the trunk. But perhaps the best part of having all these hard to find goodies is that the Wixom Ranger fairing, the 3 piece Craven luggage, BMW Police style cylinder guards and even the touring passenger grab rail can all easily be removed should one want a bare bones standard but beautiful example to ride around on from time to time or even more permanently.

Need more from your S1000RR?
Wed, 11 Aug 2010BMW has launched an HP Race Power Kit for the S1000 RR costing £2,850 including VAT.For trackday riders and racers, the kit - a new ECU and an Akrapovic exhaust system - increases peak power and torque, while optimising the bike’s engine, braking and power management systems, claim BMW, for short circuit riding and racing.Ayrton Badovini’s 2010 FIM Superstock 1000 championship-winning bike uses the HP Race Power Kit. It can also be found on the Jentin Racing-BMW Motorrad S 1000 RR being raced by Richard Cooper in the British National Superstock championship.• Maximum engine output increased by 4bhp and 6lb.ft to 197bhp (147kW) and 88.5 lb.ft (120 Nm) with power and torque significantly bolstered throughout the key 5000 to 9000 rpm midrange• Once installed, the power mapping for the four engine management riding modes (‘Rain’, ‘Sport’, ‘Race’ and ‘Slick’) is identical and the S 1000 RR delivers the full 197bhp across all four modes• The different modes instead alter the electronic rider aids with the Race ABS reducing input and the Dynamic Traction Control allowing full power at greater lean angles as the modes move from ‘Rain’ through to ‘Slick’• Engine braking on overrun is reduced giving more balanced corner entry• Pit-lane limiter activated when the start button is held down in first gear (actual speed maintained may vary with the bike’s gearing)• Akrapovic titanium and carbon-fibre full exhaust system saves 6.8kg over stock and includes a baffle which allows the exhaust to meet noise regulations in place at some circuits
More on 2012 BMW S1000RR Recall
Fri, 27 Apr 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced the recall for the 2012 BMW S1000RR, providing more information about the problem. According to documents released by NHTSA, the bolts on the connecting rods in the BMW S1000RR may come loose because of an anti-corrosive agent applied to the bolts. The anti-corrosive agent may effect the bolt torque, potentially leading them to come loose, particularly at high temperatures or rpms.
