BMW R-Series description

R60/2 1965 BMW 39,200 miles all matching numbers— for sale is my exceptional and original R60/2, this motorcycle is an absolute joy to ride as it runs flawlessly. I purchased the R60/2 in 2011 from an older gentlemen in Pennsylvania who only rode it in parades, he maintained it mechanically and always keeping it garaged. 

the engine is strong and has been meticulously maintained with regular engine oil changes, transmission, and final drive. it has always been garaged and never sat with a spec of dirt on it, nor ridden in a rainstorm. always ran ethanol free gasoline, and interior of gas tank coating is in perfect condition. every light bulb works and the headlight bucket was rewired to function as it did new, with the hi/low beam and flasher switch on the left, and bar end turn signal and horn switch on the right. the bike appears to have been repainted at some point, the paint is perfect and the pinstripe on the tank and fenders is top notch. 

it features many period correct accessories; 
low euro handlebars with new grips rear denfield seat to match drivers denfield solo seat 
hella eyebrow headlight trim (EXTREMELY RARE NOS) 
hella bar end turn signals with original lenses 
 included with the motorcycle is a box of parts containing every single seal for the engine (to get to the slingers) 

 although it looks like it, this is not a museum motorcycle, it has been one i put about 200-500 miles on per summer and enjoy the feeling of how romantic anything from this era was. it truly can transport you back to a time with engineering was done by hand and plastic wasn't the primary building material. it has been fantastic to own and I regret selling, however I didn’t ride it this summer and want to free up the cash to purchase a new toy.

The Falloon Files: 1973 BMW R90S

Mon, 24 Oct 2022

Let's Boxer In 1973, I was beginning to look at the streetbike magazines as well as the dirtbike ones on the magazine rack at Lyons Drug; there must’ve been 20 or 30 of them, and plenty of time to browse as there was no www, and very little hope of obtaining any motorcycle at all anytime soon. The 1973 BMW R90S was a chunk of pure unobtanium, from a planet far, far away, that knocked my striped tube socks completely off. Ian Falloon wrote an entire 128-page book about it.

Looking for a CBR250R or K1600GTL Forum?

Thu, 07 Apr 2011

Every year in the motorcycling world there are a few new motorcycles that gather the collective interest of enthusiasts across the country. This year those two models included the new entry-level sportbike from Honda, the CBR250R, and the new luxo-touring bike from BMW, the K1600GT and K1600GTL. While enthusiasts are gearing up for delivery of their new bikes there is a place for them to enthusiastically discuss their new purchase, or perhaps, for those who have not yet purchased, a sounding board for their thoughts.
