BMW R-Series description

This is your chance to own the world famous, award winning "Stealth Beemer" Featured in the BMW MOA magazine 8/'94. 
I've owned it since 1985 and hate to see it go. But I just don't ride anymore and it deserves to be on the road gathering bugs and miles. Not tucked in the corner of the garage covered in dust and shame. 42,600 miles, Pichler full fairing, K-bags, R-90S bars, R-100RS rear shocks, Frank's forks, Russell "daylong" seat (custom reupholstered), Reynolds adjustable backrest, Mustang tank cover with pockets, handmade tank bag and mount, clearcoated wheels, "deer hunter" projector driving lights, extra brake light, aftermarket VDO clock and volt meter, also has an accessory plug, and the whole bike is outlined in Black reflective tape. It has been sitting in the corner of my garage for 6 years and has some surface rust on the forks and handlebars. But the tires (Metzler laser front and Continental rear) still hold air and are not dry rotted. (Tubeless tires with inner tubes). It starts, runs, drives, and stops. Some scratches and dents, as I used it for touring, not a concourse garage queen. It fell over in the driveway 6 years ago and cracked the windshield of the fairing (see picture) but the cylinder guards prevented any other damage. Comes with some spare parts including another set of mirrors and extra spare reflective tape. Also for sale, but not included, is my whole set of riding gear, that could go with it for the right additional price. KBB says the bike is worth $3,200 stock. Reserve set at $3001.
Located in Copley, Ohio. 
Local pick up or delivery negotiable.

’50s BMW Scooter Prototype to Star at 2012 Concours di Motociclette

Wed, 23 May 2012

BMW is entering the scooter market this year with its C600 Sport and C650 GT maxi-scooters, but the German manufacturer almost entered the scooter segment nearly 60 years earlier. In the 1950s, BMW produced a pair of scooter prototypes it called the R10. The first prototype produced in 1953 was equipped with a 175cc Single producing about 8hp while the 1954 prototype (pictured above) was equipped with a 200cc producing about 10hp.

New: BMW System 6 Evo helmet

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

BMW has released the new System 6 Evo flip-front helmet.  It retains the clean lines of the System 6, while increasing levels of comfort and practicality with a more scratch-resistant internal sun visor, a more robust visor mechanism designed to make operation with gloved hands easier, improved ventilation control on the chin, and a revised spoiler for better aerodynamics. BMW says it has a unique chin bar pivot which reduces the size of the helmet when the chin bar is upright. Weighing in at 1.57kg, the ECE 22-05 homologated Evo is a quiet lid, with noise levels registering at 84-86 dBA at 62 mph. The helmet comes ready for installation of the BMW Communication system, offering a Bluetooth connection to the BMW Navigator IV sat-nav, music players, mobile phones and other BMW helmets.
