BMW R-Series description

Offering an excellent example of a very reliable classic motorcycle. Here are some specifics:

This is the short wheel base model 
It has the "US" handlebars installed, which provide for a more upright riding position 
It has the "toaster" gas tank
The speedo was sent to Palo Alto speedo for overhaul and to convert it to the retro black on white face
Has the Boyer electronic ignition mod
The clutch was replaced, and the carbs were overhauled less than five thousand miles ago
The tires are a month old, and the bearings and rear drive spline were greased
The seat was recovered two years ago
Has the Reynolds ride off center stand
Has a Shoei lithium-ion battery - much lighter than a lead acid or AGM
I have the original owner's manual, tool kit and keys.

If you're looking for a classic motorcycle that is bullet-proof reliable and fun to ride, this is the bike.

WSBK: 2012 Brno Results

Mon, 23 Jul 2012

Marco Melandri bit a chunk off of Max Biaggi‘s World Superbike championship points lead by taking a pair of wins at Brno. The double was the first in Melandri’s career and the first for BMW. Biaggi, who arrived in the Czech Republic with four wins and nine podium finishes in ten previous races at Brno, was held off the podium this year, shrinking his lead in the championship to 21 points from 48.

BMW 1000RR and the Honda C70, are they indestructible?

Wed, 20 Apr 2011

I’ve managed 1374 miles on the Michelin Power Pures (mostly on track) and although we’ve had some decent temperatures they still look like new so there’s plenty meat left for another month at least. I’ve been running them at 30psi front and 32psi rear and find they warm up after a few miles but I wouldn’t say the temperature comes any quicker than any of the competition so it has to be four miles before I get brave. I’ve had a few out the seat moments with my BMW but I have got the rear suspension  set pretty hard (8 rebound,8 compression, two turns on pre load) and in slick mode, so 190bhp in first gear at the Knockhill hairpin is always going to be dodgy.

2025 Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX Confirmed

Fri, 13 Sep 2024

Ninja joins Versys in getting a bigger engine Earlier this week, we confirmed engine details about a new Kawasaki Versys 1100, and found signs that suggest its 1,099cc Inline-Four engine will also be powering a replacement for the Ninja 1000SX. Motorcycle.com can now confirm that a Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX is on the way. Once again, homologation filings from Australia, where we first came across the evidence for the Versys 1100 are a font of knowledge.
