BMW R-Series description

Complete frame-up restoration by well-regarded Mid-West independent BMW tech ( a good friend of mine who originally planned to keep the bike for himself ) of my 1,000cc matching numbers '77 R100RS. This example is one of the approximately 200-only of first year production 40mm intake/exhaust ( "big pipe" ) 70 HP models ever imported into the US. As far as I know, future RS models reverted to a 38mm configuration producing less HP. Since I ride the bike regularly ( mileage now approximately 6,300 since restoration ), all maintenance is up-to-date and all "mechanicals" and "electricals" ( including the clock ! ) function properly. Avon Road Rider tires have seen only 2,000 miles. When not ridden, the bike is stored in my RV garage and kept on a battery tender through the installed BMW electrical socket. The bike's new owner will receive two sets of ignition keys ( one of which is a "folding" key ) / expandable BMW tank bag/correct Krauser panniers with two complete sets of keys which not only lock the bags to the frame but also lock the bags themselves/proper Riders Manual, Technical Data Manual and BMW shop manual. A Brown side stand has also been installed for more convenient ( perhaps safer too ) deployment. Center stand and BMW spring loaded side stand remain on the bike. Sorry, solo seat only! I will provide assistance with shipping. Please contact me with specific questions but SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. Do not waste my time or yours. $500.00 non-refundable deposit due upon acceptance of offer. Balance due within five days. Contact me directly for payment methods and buyer approval at 928 642 5379.

CFMoto 650TK Riders Set Record with 21,222-Mile Tour of China

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

A couple of adventurers have claimed a new world record for longest journey by motorcycle in a single country after completing a 21,222-mile trek around China. Buck Perley and Amy Mathieson completed their trek, traveling all 33 of China’s provinces in 147 days on a CF Moto 650TK sport-tourer. Guinness World Records still needs to ratify the couple’s journey, but if it stands, they will have surpassed the previous record of 18,041 miles set by Steven H. Siler earlier this year, after he completed his 26-day trip around the U.S.

Drool-worthy new trials bike

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

THIS is the new Montesa Cota 4RT260 Factory, a sort of BMW HP4 of the trials world. Developed in collaboration with Honda, and the Repsol Montesa Honda Trials team, it’s got a 259cc single-cylinder four-stroke engine designed to compete with smaller two-strokes while producing less emissions. There are two versions, the £5,699 standard 4RT260, aimed at amateur-to-advanced riders, and the more competition-focussed Factory Race Replica version, with Showa suspension, at £6,799.

Man Sues BMW for Causing Persistent Erection

Fri, 27 Apr 2012

A man is suing BMW and seat-manufacturer Corbin-Pacific because a four-hour motorcycle ride gave him an erection that would not go away. The civil suit, filed in the Superior Court of California in San Francisco, alleges the plaintiff, Henry Wolf, developed a severe case of priapism after a long ride on a 1993 BMW motorcycle. Priapism is a medical condition where a penis becomes erect and does not return to a flaccid state.
