BMW R-Series description

This R-27 has been in our family for over 45 years. I had Kevin Brooks at Brooks Motor Works in Washington do a frame off restoration that cost over $9,000 and I have ridden it only 600 miles since then. The bike is the last of the seven vintage BMW motorcycles that I have owned and I am only selling now because I am leaving on an open ended sailing trip around the world and it is time to sell everything I own.  If you are interested in a restored R27 then this is the one you have been waiting for. 

 

Everything in the engine, trany, final drive, and steering was rebuilt with no expense spared. I had intended to keep this bike the rest of my life.  The speedo was rebuilt at Palo Alto. The paint was redone, the fuel tank was replaced, Fuel system rebuilt.... the list goes on and on. All receipts are available along with a two inch thick file of receipts and history for the motorcycle.

 

 I kept the bench seat that was original to the bike in this rebuild.... But converting this to saddle seat is easy to do and the parts are all readily available. 

 

Because I have put so much into this bike..... My price is really very firm. Please do not contact me for lowball offers that are along the lines of the other eBay sold listings that I see for bikes that are in 'original' condition. This bike was loved and cared for then rebuilt to the highest standards possible.

WSBK 2013: Moscow Race Report

Mon, 22 Jul 2013

Marco Melandri captured his third win of the season, the Ducati 1199 Panigale scored its first podium while Sylvain Guintoli regained the championship lead despite dislocating his collarbone days before the race. But the big news at Moscow Raceway of course was the tragic death of Andrea Antonelli in the World Supersport race. The opening-lap crash in severely wet conditions naturally led to the cancellation of the rest of the events as the World Superbike community mourns the loss of the 25-year-old Antonelli.

MINI Scooter E Concept Revealed

Thu, 23 Sep 2010

MINI has just officially revealed not one, but two of its MINI Scooter E Concepts that will officially debut at the Paris Auto Show next week. Created to bring together a youth-oriented lifestyle element and sustainable mobility, the scooters take significant design cues from the MINI lineup of cars while using a lithium-ion battery pack to deliver guilt-free mobility. Making the MINI E Scooter Concept almost excessively hip is its smartphone integration, where the owner’s iPod or similar device acts as the actual key for the scooter, clicking into a central docking station between the handlebars.
