BMW R-Series description

This bike was given to me by my brother in-law after he was no longer able to ride it after a back injury. It is in good condition but needs some TLC. Complete restore was done in the early 2000's by a previous owner, clean title, 49,700, miles. Has been sitting for a few years so the carburetors got gummed up and have recently been rebuilt. RUNS but needs the dual carbs to be tuned. No body damage. There is a scratch on the front fender and a cracked blinker lens. The tires have dry rot and there is no battery. We can start it with a battery charger so you can see/hear it run but like I said, the dual carbs need to be tuned. It kind of sputters a bit. Other than these small issues it is in great condition. Potential cafĂ© racer?

Local buyers may be able to have this delivered if within reasonable distance.

All three models come in a Sapphire Black Metallic color with matte black engines, gold anodized suspension and brakes, and asphalt gray metallic swingarms, trailing arms and rear frames, and granite gray metallic cylinder head covers, and a nickel-plated polished brass plate on the upper fork.

Thu, 06 Oct 2011

Like me you probably discovered the news of Steve Jobs' death on an iPhone, an iPad or iMac. Years before turning Apple into the cool brand that it is today, Steve Jobs rode round on an old BMW. Apple said his "brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives.
