BMW R-Series description
I am offering up a beautiful 1967 BMW R60 that I had restored by Sonoma Classic Restorations. They do quality work and it was a long time coming. The options I requested for the bike are as follows; luggage rack, Corbin seat (I just like the look of the Corbin, it sits better in the bike and wanted something different than all the others with the Denfield seats), Bumm mirrors, tire pump, wide tires, headlight guards, Hoske tank and risers, and handle bar signals. I loved the Dover White so that was chosen as the color as you can see from the pictures. There is a small crack in the taillight paint as you can see in the pictures and a place on the fender where the paint twisted due to the bolt tightening.
As far as the motor, it was completely rebuilt and you can see from his website as far as what he does to go through them. I have ridden it a few miles since I got it as the odometer has shown while Sonoma Classics was testing it (still has less than 100 miles on it). It was delivered a few months back and I have been traveling since. It is a fantastic looking bike as you can see and it deserves a good home where someone can enjoy it regularly. These bikes were meant to be ridden (not parked). As you know the more these run, the better they run. The bike will come with a clean California title, a binder with all paperwork for the bike (manuals), keys and a BMW rag. This is a timeless design that is as beautiful today as it was back then and these bikes are only going to rise in the future as they become more scarce and the costs to restore them goes up. These are good candidates to enjoy and collect. Good luck and enjoy the auction.
Please note: This IS a matching numbers bike!

French Moto Website Anticipates Versys 1000 at EICMA 2011
Mon, 24 Oct 2011Musings of a liter-size engined Kawasaki Versys have circulated the web for a few years now, as loyalists of the likable Versys 650, as well as displacement-driven riders waiting in the wings, have pondered the potential of a more powerful adventure bike from Kawasaki that’s in the same league as BMW’s R1200GS and Yamaha’s Super Tenere. Alas, nothing of the sort has ever left the lips of Kawasaki, let alone go into production. Recently, however, the French motorcycle website, Moto-net.com, has produced convincing images that appear like photos of a complete Versys 1000, including matching hard luggage.
IIHS Asks NHTSA to Make ABS Brakes Mandatory for All Street-legal Motorcycles in US
Fri, 07 Jun 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and the Highway Loss Data Institute have submitted a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration petitioning in favor of making anti-lock brakes mandatory for all new on-highway motorcycles. The letter, addressed to David Strickland, NHTSA administrator, included a recent IIHS study on the effects of ABS on motorcycle fatal crash rates. The report found ABS technology reduces the rate of fatal crashes by 31%, while collision claim rates were 20% lower with ABS-equipped motorcycles.
