BMW R-Series description

1974 BMW R90/6 900 cc classic motorcyle. 
VIN 4040399

This was my husband's bike, which he rode daily as weather permitted. He greatly loved riding this BMW and planned to completely restore it. The bike and extras have been in covered storage for a little over 3 years (thus some dust and rust). The motorcycle has been started, and does run, but will need a new battery which I will supply.The title states the mileage to be 93,047, the odometer reading does not match at 91,858 miles. It has not been tampered with, so probably not working. 

Extras include the saddlebags, new tire, extra mufflers, better seat (the one currently on the bike is torn), headlight & chrome ring, plexi windshield, fairing with plexi windshield (the clear plastic is cracked), rack, and extra clutch cables.

The buyer is responsible for pick up. The motorcycle is sold as is, no warranty, no returns. Deposit requested of buyer at end of auction, balance due upon pickup... cash only.

Please feel free to write with any questions you may have. If I don't know the answer, I will try to obtain it as quickly as possible.

Representatives of a young studio Officine Sbrannetti were the first to respond, proposing a project for the reincarnation of the legendary BMW RS54 Rennsport. R nineT was the seventh project of the company, which began its existence about two years ago.

Michael Dunlop to Race for BMW at 2014 Isle of Man TT

Wed, 12 Feb 2014

BMW Motorrad UK has signed seven-time winner Michael Dunlop to race in the 2014 Isle of Man TT and other international road races. Dunlop will be the first factory-backed BMW rider in 50 years, and will try to be the first rider to win a TT race on a BMW since Georg Meier won in 1939 on a RS 255 Kompressor. Dunlop, nephew of the great Joey Dunlop, was the star of the 2013 Isle of Man TT, winning four races and finishing second in the Senior TT on Honda machines.

Tested: Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact

Mon, 15 Mar 2010

With its clever Interact technology Metzeler has created a tyre that has a varying carcass construction to alter how the rubber performs. Without going too deeply the M5 consists of five bands of belting that vary in stiffness. At the outer edges of the tyre the carcass is quite flexible, allowing the rubber to move around and generate more heat and therefore grip, while nearer the tyre’s centre the carcass is stiffer, reducing the rubber’s movement and decreasing its wear.
