BMW R-Series description

This is a NO RESERVE listing.

This is my 1977 BMW R100/7 motorcycle.  At the time, this was the finest, most desirable motorcycle in the world- this was the Rolls-Royce of motorcycling.  This was the biggest, most powerful bike built by BMW, makers of the "Legendary German Motorcycles".

This bike has been owned by a classic auto and motorcycle enthusiast and it runs, rides and performs very well.  This bike starts and runs great and it is smooth, powerful and rides great.  This bike was just out on a 90-mile cruise last week and it rode perfectly.

The bike has the well-known BMW horizontally-opposed "airhead" air-cooled twin-cylinder 1000cc engine, plus 5-speed transmission, shaft drive, front disc brake, dual carburetors and a dealer-option Lester aluminum wheels.

This bike includes a full front fairing (not installed on the bike) plus removable rear hard cases.  The brackets for the front fairing and rear bags are easily removable to give the bike a clean, "naked" appearance if you like. 

The fuel tank is bronze in color and the rest of the bike is black.  This is a great "rider" bike, not a pristine museum piece or showroom bike.  This bike has normal and expected wear and tear to the appearance like you might expect for an unrestored 35-year old motorcycle.  The paint on the fenders and side covers is a bit chipped and somewhat rough in appearance.  The seat is newer and in great condition with no cracks or sun damage. 

This bike has never been kept outdoors and it has always been garaged.  Mechanically it is in great riding condition- you could ride this bike anywhere you want.

The miles are 86,534 and this engine is strong and runs perfectly.  It starts great and runs very well.  These legendary engines are known to go for 200,000 miles before rebuild, so you can figure that this bike has lots of life left to go. 

I have the original books and manuals with the bike, as well as a repair manual.

You could fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and ride this bike home.  Alternatively you could have the bike shipped- please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote. 

If you have questions, please email me or call/text me at 440 339 4341.

WSBK: 2012 Phillip Island Results – Video

Mon, 27 Feb 2012

Max Biaggi won the opening race to the 2012 World Superbike Championship while defending champion Carlos Checa came back from a high-speed crash in the first race to win the second at Australia’s Phillip Island circuit. Reigning champion Checa of Althea Ducati had a stunning high-side crash while leading on the sixth lap of Race One. The WSBK paddock was already in shock with the death of 17-year-old Oscar McIntyre in the Superstock 600 race the day before but thankfully Checa was not seriously injured.

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.

EICMA 2012: BMW F800GT Announced as Replacement for F800ST

Tue, 13 Nov 2012

As we reported in August, BMW is replacing its F800ST sport tourer with a new, more touring-oriented version called the F800GT. Revealed at the 2012 EICMA Show in Milan, Italy, the 2013 BMW F800ST is equipped with a 798cc parallel Twin engine claiming 88 hp at 8000rpm, an increase from the BMW F800ST’s claim of 84 hp at 8000rpm (the 2012 F700GS and F800GS also claims 84hp from a similar engine.) Other changes include better wind protection, lighter wheels, new higher-mounted handlebars, repositioned footrests, and load capacity increased to 456 pounds from 432 pounds. Like all current BMW motorcycles, the F800GT comes standard with ABS.
