BMW R-Series description

You are bidding on one 1983 BMW R100RT running project bike with only 10,298 miles. I got this bike from a friend of mine who had purchased it from an elderly gentleman. The bike did not come with a title, so I purchased a separate frame (the frame is a 1981 model RT-VIN 6232665) with clear title in order to rebuild the bike onto the titled frame. The engine started right up, and sounded smooth. The bike needs complete restoration: the brakes are not functional, and the front forks are slightly rusty. The gas tank is in good condition, but needs petcocks and a gas cap. As you can see from the pictures, the tank does not match the paint of the rest of the bike. The stock seat has been replaced with a Corbin seat, but the stock seat is included in the sale. I eliminated the emissions system, and plugged off the ports with an emissions kit from Bob's BMW. All the airbox parts and starter cover are included with the sale. The bike is being sold at no reserve to the highest bidder, AS-IS, with no warranties expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for arrangement and costs of shipping. I will assist your shipper with getting the bike loaded for transport. You are also welcome to pick up the bike yourself, and I will be happy to arrange a time to meet. That being said, I believe this will make a great project for someone who has the capability and time to put it all together. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

EICMA 2013: 2014 BMW S1000R First Impressions Video

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Take the BMW S1000RR, remove some plastic, lose a couple of horses and drop an “R”. What are you left with? The brand new S1000R streetfighter that we’re just itching to ride.

Latest on my S1000RR

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Not sure what's going on with the sound in this vid, but it calms down after a minute - sorry! As my long term BMW S1000RR does most of its miles working hard on track days, I felt an early 6000 mile service might be a good idea. A quick phone call to my local dealer (the friendly and efficient Pidcocks) saw my bike in the workshop the following week and back in my hands by lunchtime.

BMW C650GT and C600 Sport Recalled for Faulty Timing Chain Tensioner

Tue, 27 May 2014

BMW has initiated a recall on 2012-2014 C600 Sport and C650GT scooters because of a problem with their timing chain tensioners. As of this writing, recalls have been announced in Canada and Germany but not for the U.S., though we expect the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration will announce a similar recall shortly.
