BMW Other description

1973 BMW R75/5 Classic, This Classic BMW started getting attention when it first arrived a few weeks ago. It came from an estate of a long time Bob???s customer and had been his for over a dozen years. As he was not a local customer Bob???s did not do most of the regular service on this machine but did provide assorted parts and guidance over the years. Cosmetically, we???ve chosen to leave most of it as it arrived since it???s a good looking, mostly original machine. Mechanically we???ve done all we thought necessary to make it safe, roadworthy, comfortable and fun as our mantra goes.There are a lot of /5 fans at Bob???s among our collective staff, Bob owns several himself and still rides his original 1972 R75/5 that just rolled over to 160,000 miles recently. They are great everyday rides that keep increasing in desirability and value plus they combine the classic great looks of vintage BMW with some more modern advantages like a 12 volt electrical system and electric AND kick start options. They are also easy to work on, have readily available parts supplies (at least at Bob???s) and can be ridden anywhere for any reason and are as dependable a machine as BMW has ever built and offered.

New: Revit off track textile jacket

Mon, 01 Dec 2008

Although the one pictured doesn’t look that worn it’s a recent replacement for the one I’ve been using ever since I passed my test two years ago. The previous incarnation met its fate in Africa at the hands of a knobbly tyre and chain. It has been in constant use this summer.

2023 BMW R 1250 R – First Look

Mon, 13 Nov 2023

Full LED lighting and lean-sensitive electronics now standard equipment BMW announced minor updates to its R 1250 R, giving the Boxer-engined roadster a full LED headlight, and making some previously optional electronics standard, all while keeping the price unchanged at $14,995. Visually, the 2023 BMW R 1250 R looks similar to the previous model. The most noticeable change is the new LED headlight, which can be upgraded to an optional adaptive turning light.

Bridgestone BT-023 tyre tested

Fri, 19 Mar 2010

Replacing the BT-021, the 023 has a uniform carcass construction but has two different compounds of rubber to alter its performance. The inner rubber is harder for increased life while the rubber on the tyre’s edges is softer for outright grip. On the brief dry sections of our ride the 023 seemed to get up to working temperature rapidly and delivered good dry grip, certainly more than enough for most road riders if you are honest about your riding ability.
