BMW Other description

1967 BMW R100/2 Conversion, Ita??s impossible to share all the special features and effort that goes into building what has been called a /2 conversion since Bob first stated riding BMWa??s in the 1970a??s. What will be shared here is a brief history of the general class and some overall details on this specific example because ita??s the one we have available to sell. If youa??ve ever thought of owning one of these very special outfits, lusted after Boba??s rig (no ita?? still not for sale) because youa??ve seen him riding it or just because they are so unique and so very cool (each one is different) and this may be one of the nicest ever constructed. Plus it was all done by the experienced and talented team at Boba??s for the prior owner so we know pretty much everything about it.First a little history, back in 1970 when the /5 series and engines in 500, 600 and 750 cc displacements became available with 12 volt electrics, more horse power than the prior 500 and 600 cc kick started engine and the joys of pushing a starter button to start the beast people starting yanking their anemic 6 volt, 26 to 28 horsepower engines out and installing larger motors. They also gained the improvement in gear box technology as well as now having 12 volts to operate better lighting, audible horns and yes even some accessories that drew current. This was mostly done for all those people who attached a sidecar to their machine so they could take the family along, haul groceries, hardware, incredible finds from a flea market, camping gear to extend travels or even to give their best buddy who just happened to be furry and have 4 legs a nice ride in the countryside on a beautiful afternoon.As time went on and more people spent still more time and energy thinking about what could be done to make them look better, handle better, carry more fuel, have more lights, be more unique or varied from all the others theya??d seen the true customization of what has been called a /2 conversion really began to flourish. But even in the heyday we are talking about larger handfuls of these very special rigs being built. One company even designed an adaptor plate that allowed for a VW engine to be installed into the same /2 chassis with the stock gearbox. It worked but it sure was ugly but for those seeking power and cheap over beauty and power it was yet another option.

BMW M 1000 R and Updated S 1000 RR Coming for 2023

Mon, 19 Sep 2022

Updated 999cc Shiftcam engine It’s been nearly two years since BMW first debuted the M 1000 RR, its first motorcycle to carry the company’s high-performance M brand. We knew it wouldn’t be the first, though, after we broke the news that BMW had trademarked the name along with “M 1000 XR” and “M 1300 GS.” What we didn’t expect was for the next M-branded motorcycle to be based on the S 1000 R. That now looks to be the case, as a new M 1000 R model has appeared in vehicle certification documents in Switzerland and Germany.
