BMW R-Series description

Rare extremely low mileage classic black BMW with the small sport tank.  Originally a California bike.  Bought from 2nd owner.
Early model R90/6 (1/74 mfg date) with factory LWB modification - still has the alloy turn signals, optional kick starter, hash marks on the gauges 
Very, very clean, was dry stored since 2002. Just installed a new battery, new oil, air filters, cleaned carbs, new floats.
Needs nothing but a key cut for seat latch and perhaps tires. Included is a complete tuneup kit: points, plugs, carb rebuild kit, valve cover gaskets. Tank and fenders are sporting original paint. Side covers have either been repainted or just had decals removed. Have a set of decals on order.
Valve cover on left side has minor rash from a spill (possibly why it was put in storage) and a small scuff shows on the left side of the instrument cluster as shown in the pics. Some minor rust and pitting on the bars. Otherwise a very nice and complete example.
Starts first kick or at the touch of the button, idles quietly, runs, stops & shifts well. No leaks, no smoke, everything works - all of the mechanical and electrical is functioning well.

Capirex’s New Ride: the BMW M MotoGP Safety Car

Wed, 11 Apr 2012

Retired racer Loris Capirossi has been named BMW M MotoGP Expert, representing the official MotoGP safety car provider in the world championship. Since retiring from racing after the 2011 MotoGP season Capirossi has been serving as MotoGP’s Safety Adviser. That, plus his familiarity with the MotoGP paddock and its racing circuits, makes him the logical choice as an ambassador for BMW M, the German manufacturer’s racing-performance subsidiary.

Is there anything you CAN'T do on an S1000RR?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010

WE'VE SEEN videos of BMW's stunning new S1000RR pulling wheelies, stunting, sliding, racing a 700bhp Corvette, featured in a music video - we've even had a look inside the engine and now the company are using the 190bhp superbike as part of a new-style drag act - but not the Danny La Rue type. Real or not, the clip makes for amusing viewing.  Have a look.

No Thru Road: Confessions of a Traveling Man

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

Author 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.
