BMW R-Series description

Strong runner, starts every time.  Electrical all working. 

The BMW R90/6 was the top of the line model that BMW offered at the time. Equipped with their largest engine at the time a 898cc unit that produces just under 60hp. It was an instant success. Customers bought the R90s very quickly and in large numbers. And with their larger engines, BMW was able to convert some of the sport-bike, Kawasaki riders into BMW riders. 

This custom BMW has been outfitted with a Ural Sidecar and all necessary components.  This includes a spare sidecar wheel, and lighting.  The BMW has been very well taken care of mechanically and has some very unique accessories, including hard sided saddle bags, 2 up bench style seat, rear passenger floor boards, rear luggage rack.  Auxiliary external emergency gas can.  Custom made fairing with lower leg protectors.

This BMW starts right up and runs and drives fantastically. No stalling or sputtering. The engine is very strong. Will need some brake work, but does stop perfectly fine in its current state.  The sidecar includes its own braking system.  With a little clean up work, you will have yourself a truly unique Sidecar Motorcycle. One that will last for years and remain a sought after piece of machinery. This BMW/Ural sidecar motorcycle will make for a great project and riding motorcycle.

Mmmmm, Toasted

Mon, 20 Oct 2008

While some fortunate souls who live south of the Mason-Dixon line are able to ride their beloved beasts all year long, some are forced to put their hogs into hibernation by mother nature come winter time. Although most motorcyclists have little use for wintry weather, autumn is a truly beautiful time of year to ride. Granted, the days become shorter and the wind colder, but navigating your way through winding roads amid the vibrant colors of changing leaves is enough of a reward within itself.

How to destroy a GoPro

Wed, 14 Mar 2012

That scraping sound you can hear is a mixture of a knee slider and the GoPro camera housing grazing the tarmac at Mugello. The footage was shot on-board the BMW Motorrad France Team Thevent machine ridden by Hugo Marchand, in testing ahead of the 2012 Endurance World Championship. He managed to wreck the housing that holds the GoPro camera after only three laps.

Ridden: BMW R1200GS Adventure

Fri, 07 Oct 2011

My first meeting with a BMW GS was an unfortunate one. It was going back a few years now (certainly pre-Charlie McGregor era) Having just picked up this new model, I’d ridden 100 miles on a warm summer’s evening to reach my house by dusk. Mindful of the fact that said house contained two frenetic, bark-happy border collies and a small, sleeping child, I cut the ignition, whipped the clutch in and planned a gentle coast up to the area outside my front door.
