BMW R-Series description
We have here is a clean for the year well taken care of 1974 BMW R90 with a side car. She runs out great with no oil consumption and with only a few drops a month from down under. Both carburetors have been rebuilt and a complete tuneup with valve adjustment was performed where needed. Now She purrs like a large cat. The brakes have had the master cylinder rebuilt and the system has been flushed and works as designed. The electrics for the bike work well with small repairs an patches done over the years, the harness is still flexible and should have many years on service left. The rear tire is older crack free showing deep tread and is proper side car equipment, the front tire has been replaced with a new one that was installed after the photos. A new battery has been installed correctly sized for the bike, but hold down is not present. The side car is an American that was made in California, I believe, and has been on the bike since it was new,.. it uses a torsion spring. She has a dealer installed Windjammer that can be removed for a cleaner more original look (the original headlight bucket is still installed so minimal parts needed for removal also no key for glovebox). Other extras are, fork stiffener installed, upgraded road wheels, lockable saddle/storage bags (all keyed the same), adjustable rear shocks. Items that I feel will need attention to further complete this bike in the future are, Replace non working radio, front shock gators should be replaced, handle grips could be renewed, seat has one very small hole that could be patched, one side on engine is missing it's emblem, both side covers are missing (one is an attachment point for the side car), there is very light corrosion under the battery and inside the side car (this is the only corrosion that is present and is surface), paint work looks great for a driver but does have a few areas of wear and chipping (the tank has been nicely repainted a while back with new emblems installed). Bike history "as I have been told" is that a 30 plus year owner enjoyed this bike in the Akron, Ohio area and passed in 2008 ,.. It was in dry storage till 2014 when I purchased it,.. now it's time for a real enthusiast to enjoy her.
Please email or call 330-258-0088 (ask for Kevin or James, this is a business number) if you have and additional questions,.. I do have the ability to store for an agreed time frame,.. ship common carrier,..or work with you to use a shipper of your choice,..
Also please note that I reserve the right to end auction early and that anything this old does not come with any warranty,.. also,..I always recommend you personally inspect (or send a company to inspect) this bike to make sure that it meets your expectations.

Spy Video Provides Up-Close Look at 2014 BMW R1200RT/R1200GT
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Last month, we published spy photos of what appeared to be some prototypes of the 2014 BMW R1200RT sport-tourer undergoing testing somewhere in southern France. Unfortunately, the photographs were captured from far away, preventing us from seeing many details apart from the new water-cooled Boxer engine from the new GS and what appears to be the adaptive headlight from the K1600GT and GTL. Thankfully, a new video has surfaced, providing an up-close look at the new R1200RT.
