BMW R-Series description

I am selling my 1978 BMW R80/7 motorcycle because I don't have time to ride as much as I want to

I bought this bike approximately two and a half years ago from its original owner and brought it back to life. There were never any major issues with it, he had just run out of time to use it.

Since purchasing it I have cleaned it up quite well and it starts right up and runs great.  Could use some fine tuning but it started right up after being stored in my garage all winter.

-Fresh oil & plugs
-new petcocks
-new battery
-Tank and fenders have been cleaned of all debris and repainted

29,900 miles

Overall it's in great shape considering its a 38 year old bike.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or additional pictures but I would love to pass this on to another enthusiast.

Clean title in hand!

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

BMW is getting closer to signing a partnership agreement with India’s TVS Motor Company. The partnership, expected to be finalized before the end of March, would see TVS receive access to BMW technology while the German manufacturer would increase its footprint in the world’s second most-populated nation. TVS is one of India’s largest manufacturers but it has recently slipped to fourth from third behind Hero MotoCorp, Bajaj Auto and Honda.

2015 BMW S1000XR Spied – Inline-Four Multistrada Rival on the Way

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

Spy photographers have captured a new BMW adventure-tourer powered by the S1000RR’s Inline-Four engine. The new model, which we expect will be called the 2015 BMW S1000XR, will be more road-oriented than the company’s bread-and-butter GS line, offering a competitor to the likes of the Ducati Multistrada 1200 or the recently reviewed Aprilia Caponord 1200. Other publications that have published the spy photos (Insella.it and MotorcyclistOnline for example) have put forward names such as S1000F or S1000 ADV for the new model, but a trademark application BMW filed with the USPTO suggests it may be introduced as the “S1000XR”.
