BMW K-Series description

 This BMW bike is used but NOT abused. Recent new parts include a new battery, spark plugs and new fresh fluids. This bike has a K&N air filter which was cleaned and re-oiled recently. Also performed was a thorough cleaning of all leather/vinyl items as well as a fresh coat of wax on the fairings. So that you may receive the most accurate description of this bike's condition I have detailed each items condition as seen below:

  • Taillight- Excellent, no cracks
  • Turn Signals- All excellent except for front right which has been pushed in due to a minor tip over.
  • License Plate Bracket- Excellent
  • Dash & Gauges- Dash is very good. Plastic covers on gauges are cracked.
  • Electrical- Everything works as designed to the best of my knowledge. (Radio is missing)
  • Glass & Mirrors- Windshield is solid but appears to have been modified. Mirrors have scuff marks on the housings and the glass has been sealed around the edges with silicone.
  • Handlebar & Controls- Somewhat faded and weathered but everything works great.
  • Wheels- Could use a cleaning but are in excellent condition
  • Front Tire- Excellent
  • Rear Tire- Excellent
  • Front Brakes- Good
  • Rear Brakes- some squeaking
  • Steering- straight and smooth
  • Front Suspension- Excellent
  • Rear Suspension- very good
  • Fuel System- Works as designed
  • Exhaust- Solid with no leaks
  • Leaks- Some oil seepage appears to be coming from the oil pan gasket area
  • Drive Train- works as designed
TEST DRIVE RESULTS

This bike runs, rides and shifts well.

COSMETIC CONDITION

The front right half of the bike appears to have suffered a tip over incident. The upper right fairing, mirror and windshield seemed to have received the brunt of it.

BMW Standardizes Switches

Thu, 23 Oct 2008

Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isn’t your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.

The folks at Edmunds took the 2014 Corvette Stingray and put it to the test at Willow Springs International Raceway versus its usual competitors: the SRT Viper , Nissan GT-R , Porsche 911 , Porsche Cayman S , Ford Shelby GT500 and the BMW M3 . It looks like the "Stingray vs. The World" title suits the video well, given there is one car from Japan, a few from Europe and another one from the U.S.
