BMW R-Series description

1952 BMW R25/3, the model that many would say saved BMW after the Second World War. 
This bike was imported to Canada from Australia in 2002, and I do have all the Importation documents.

The previous owner had the bike running a few years ago, and parked it. It was on display in his private collection since then. 
I have not insured the bike since buying it, so there is no active registration or title but will be sold with bill of sale.

It would most likely not take much effort to get this bike Road ready, that said it depends on what you are looking for. 
To become a driver with minimal work it would require tightening the handlebars, new battery, new gas, check the brakes and tires, and go.

If you are wanting a restored bike, the paint is older and showing its age, there are signs of older body work near the rear hinged fender. 
The tail light and left control are not BMW parts. It would require complete renovation if you are wanting a show bike.

The good news is that the tank is original and all steel, same with the fenders, these are often replaced with fibreglass replicas. There is good value in the tin alone! The seat is in great shape, perhaps had a new cover or pad at some point. Exhaust is in very nice condition as well.

The engine is free and feels as though it has strong compression.

An appreciating classic, with fantastic lines!
Sold as is due to age.

The Diavel rocks!

Thu, 21 Jul 2011

The Diavel is my new bike of the year. Not being a huge Ducati fan, when I was thrown the keys of this monster at Silverstone on Tuesday I was expecting an ill handling, weighty beast that would run out of revs and scare me to death. Well I couldn’t have been more wrong as I had an absolute blast.

Spy Video Provides Up-Close Look at 2014 BMW R1200RT/R1200GT

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Last month, we published spy photos of what appeared to be some prototypes of the 2014 BMW R1200RT sport-tourer undergoing testing somewhere in southern France. Unfortunately, the photographs were captured from far away, preventing us from seeing many details apart from the new water-cooled Boxer engine from the new GS and what appears to be the adaptive headlight from the K1600GT and GTL. Thankfully, a new video has surfaced, providing an up-close look at the new R1200RT.

Man Sues BMW for Causing Persistent Erection

Fri, 27 Apr 2012

A man is suing BMW and seat-manufacturer Corbin-Pacific because a four-hour motorcycle ride gave him an erection that would not go away. The civil suit, filed in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco, alleges the plaintiff, Henry Wolf, developed a severe case of priapism after a long ride on a 1993 BMW motorcycle. Priapism is a medical condition where a penis becomes erect and does not return to a flaccid state.
