BMW R-Series description
I have owned the bike since 1985, but let the tags expire in 1987 while I
was at college. I was concerned about using unleaded gas in it, and I
got tired of fixing the floats, and it needed a new muffler cross-over
pipe (which I still have, but never installed) to pass inspection. I
did not need it for transportation, so it got left alone and ended up
stored in a barn for a few years, until I moved to a place where I could
store it where I lived. My intention was to harden the engine for the
unleaded gas, but I could never afford to have it done. The last time I
had it running was around 94 or so. Since then, it was kept in a shed
until 97, then garages. Kind of became part of the garages at both of
the houses that I lived. Mostly out of sight and out of mind, unless it
was in the way. I have thought of trying to restore it, but my kids are
not really interested in it, and so many years have passed, that it is
just time to sell. It has 26,061 miles on it. I still have the Virginia state title.
I took off the faring a few years ago and stored it in the attic of the garage to get it out of the way. For the one picture I put it mostly on, just to show it, but did not tightened it down. The engine does have compression, but it has not had gas in it for quite some time and the tank is rusted inside. There is some rust on the handle bars as seen in the pictures, and the mufflers are not original, but they were incredibly loud (even before the leak). The spark plug cable holders (piece that goes over the plug) have broken on both sides where the spark plug wire is clamped onto the holder (can see in the picture somewhat). The motorcycle stand piece that sticks out to pull it down is broken off, but I do still have it. The emblem on one side of the gas tank is a little damaged, and there is a spot of rust on the front fender where a small amount of paint is missing (don't remember how that happened), and the gas cap is not original (I thought that I had kept it, but I cannot find it). Still has a tool kit (the ones that it had when I got it), but I am not sure what is supposed to be in it. That is what I can think of to mention, but if you have questions, please ask. Pick up is local, but I will work with your shipping agent as well. |
