BMW R-Series description

Very nice patina'd old Airhead BMW R60/2.  Title follows the triple numbers matching R50/2 that is started out as.  The previous Owner has the motor rebuilt to R60 specs when he had the motor gone through.  He did not have the paperwork so I do not have it either. You can visually see the R60 cylinders on the motor and it runs beautifully.  Since I've owned the bike, I've replaced the tires, all cables, battery, battery strap, air filter and cork base, plugs, plug caps, and had the carbs balanced.  The bike starts on one or two kicks.

Like I mentioned in the description, the bike is unrestored.  It cleans up nice and as a 10 footer admirable quality.  Its a 50 year old bike with some nice looking patina.  There are scratches here and there, and dent on the tank and some on the fenders.  

I have some more parts like springs and shocks and such that can go with the bike.

BMW Produces 500,000th GS Boxer

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

BMW‘s most important model reached an important milestone as the 500,000th boxer-engined GS rolled off the company’s production line in Berlin, Germany. The landmark liquid-cooled 2014 R1200GS follows a lineage half a million strong of flat-twin adventure tourers tracing back to the first R80G/S produced in 1980. “As a plant it is a privilege for us to continue building on the successful history of the legendary flat-twin GS,” says Marc Sielemann, head of the Berlin plant which produces the bulk of BMW’s motorcycles since 1969.

Thumbs up for a chilly N.E.C.

Wed, 08 Dec 2010

Apart from the freaky weather I have to say last week’s Carole Nash Motorcycle Live N.E.C. show was the best Birmingham event I've attended in the ten years. I really appreciate the fact that manufacturers chose to ignore the recession giving us great stands to cater for every enthusiast young and old.  Aprilia made a welcome return and I don’t know anyone that didn’t enjoy admiring the WSB RSV4, surely the the most gorgeous bike on the planet? The Honda stand rarely disappoints and this year was no exception with banking bikes providing fun for all the family.
