BMW R-Series description

1977 BMW R100S with Krauser 4 valve heads and flat slide Mikunis.  High performance Krauser heads installed & dyno tuned by Chris Hodgson of San Jose BMW.  Originally purchased in central California.  Bike starts and runs/rides, it needs a tune-up.  The motorcycle does not leak, smoke or make any unusual sounds.  The transmission shifts well.  It's a 40 year old vintage bike, maintained but unrestored.  The paint is appropriate for a motorcycle this age,  it has a few flaws, but presents honestly and attractively. The fuel system is clean and it has a new (60 days) glass-mat  battery installed.  While parked at BMW motorcycle events it always draws a crowd.  It has always been stored indoors since new.  If you have the funds available for purchase, and would like questions answered I will return phone calls to U.S. numbers.  Please be a serious buyer if calling.  Leave a voice message at (nine O for) 23for-sixtyseven eighty.  I have other horses in the stable, and am thinning the herd so check my other auctions for uncommon German and Italian motorcycles.  I have been riding and collecting bmw motorcycles since 1987.  Time changes everything, and I am finally ready to let someone else enjoy owning some of them.

This motorcycle, with the associated documentation, is a rare bird to say the least.   Make it yours.

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

Larry Pegram and Erik Buell Racing will be partnering up in 2014 to race an EBR 1190RX in AMA Superbike. This will be Pegram’s third different OEM in as many years, as he rode a Yamaha last year, BMW before that and Ducati in 2011. Supporting Pegram will be his long-time title sponsor, Foremost Insurance Group, along with EBR sponsors AMSOIL and Hero MotoCorp.

The future. But we can't have it

Thu, 10 Nov 2011

It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.
