BMW R-Series description

1978 BMW R100RS, ORIGINAL MOTORSPORT. This is an original Motorsport Model. Have owned this motorcycle for 18 years. Bought it with about 21,000 miles and it is now approaching 28,000mi. Obviously did not ride it a lot, have been saving it because of its collector value. Motorcycle is not perfect, but in excellent overall condition. Mechanically excellent, had recent clutch spline lube, rear drive spline lube, forks have new fluid and seals. Bike starts easily, engine runs strong and quiet. Shifts and handles really well as it is supposed to. If you look up the vin#, ( on the bmw vin number decode site which ebay will not let me show), you will find it listed as an ECE model, meaning it is a European Model and not the standard USA model, ( a Motorsport should always come up as ECE). Bike comes with the the correct BLUE 3/4 seat, it is in very excellent cond. no rips or other problems, beyond some small paint flaws on the cowling. Would really prefer a local sale and would accept a bit less for it if you are a local buyer or at least could come pick it up yourself. Buyer is responseable for all shipping arrangements. Bike does not leave my property until my Bank declares that payment has come through. There are people paying with fraudelent bank checks, casiers checks etc., so those things are not fail safe anymore. Work done 7000miles ago. 1. New Rear Main Seal, Flywheel O Ring, Flywheel Bolts, (torqued to new spec of 95 ft. Lbs). 2. Oil Pump Resealed. 3. New 2 lip Transmission Input Shaft Seal 4. Steering Head Bearings Cleaned and Greased Work Done Over Past Year. 1. New seals in forks, internal and out. 2. Clutch Splines Lubed. 3. Front ATE Brake Calipers, cleaned and new seals installed. (brakes stop really well). 4. Rear Drive splines lubed. 5.New Engine Oil and Filter. 6. All drive train oils changed. 7. Valve Clearances set. 8. Starter removed and lubed. 9.

Aprilia Takes a Shot at BMW [video]

Tue, 22 Jun 2010

The very successful viral video BMW created for its S1000RR sportbike earlier this year has yet again been made fun of by another manufacturer, this time being Aprilia with their RSV4.  Now I am sure its not going to get the same amount of attention as the BMW spot but I love a good cat fight, hopefully BMW will respond…  stay tuned.
