BMW R-Series description
1978 BMW R100RS, ORIGINAL MOTORSPORT. This is an original Motorsport Model. Have owned this motorcycle for 18 years. Bought it with about 21,000 miles and it is now approaching 28,000mi. Obviously did not ride it a lot, have been saving it because of its collector value. Motorcycle is not perfect, but in excellent overall condition. Mechanically excellent, had recent clutch spline lube, rear drive spline lube, forks have new fluid and seals. Bike starts easily, engine runs strong and quiet. Shifts and handles really well as it is supposed to. If you look up the vin#, ( on the bmw vin number decode site which ebay will not let me show), you will find it listed as an ECE model, meaning it is a European Model and not the standard USA model, ( a Motorsport should always come up as ECE). Bike comes with the the correct BLUE 3/4 seat, it is in very excellent cond. no rips or other problems, beyond some small paint flaws on the cowling.
Would really prefer a local sale and would accept a bit less for it if you are a local buyer or at least could come pick it up yourself. Buyer is responseable for all shipping arrangements. Bike does not leave my property until my Bank declares that payment has come through. There are people paying with fraudelent bank checks, casiers checks etc., so those things are not fail safe anymore.
