BMW R-Series description

I cant imagine having any more FUN than this bike for the money.. It handles GREAT, it is FAST, and it sound GOOD.... oh yeah, it looks FANTASTIC too!!
This motorcycle has been kept in my air conditioned basement for the last 4 years. The original owner sold it to me because of his age and health issues, and now I need to do the same. There are NO issues with the paint and no mechanical problems.  There is NO indication of wreck damage...
I have spent hundreds of dollars adapting this motorcycle to my size of 6'1". These include foot peg lowers, bar-backs, hi-way pegs and brackets, custom seat cover (helps my butt breathe on those long trips). I have also installed a performance muffler, just because I like the sound. It also comes with a stock muffler. A Laminar Lip has been installed on the windshield to redirect wind over tall rider. All these modifications are easily converted to standard with just an hour or so of work. This will return it back to stock.......and you will have $700 worth of extras to sell..
Installed in the last year: $900 BMW clutch assembly, front and rear brake pads, and a set of new Dunlop Road Smart tires. All this with less than 500 miles..

Also, standard equipment includes: anti-lock brakes, heated hand grips, both keys, passenger back rest bar and pad & zipper storage bag, tank bag, rider manual and service booklet.  Also a set of new brake pads in wrapper...
I can't think of a reason why you should not be able to enjoy this motorcycle maintenance-free for a long, long time!

Naked BMW S1000RR Spotted Testing in Italy – Video

Wed, 29 May 2013

Italian site Motociclismo.it has published a video of what appears to be a naked version of the BMW S1000RR being tested on public roads in Rovereto, Italy. The test model was dressed in camouflage and appears to be close to being ready for production, especially compared to the earlier prototype spotted testing last summer. We expect BMW will officially unveil this S1000RR-based streetfighter at either the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany, or the EICMA show in Milan, Italy, later this fall.

Used Review: BMW Trailguard jacket and trousers

Sun, 01 Nov 2009

Ride a  BMW, wear the official gear. The Trailguard is one of their top-range textile two-piecers. Fitting brochure is mind-bogglingly complicated, I went into Vines of Guildford and got them to measure me up instead.

Teaser: 2012 Japanese Literbike Shootout – Video

Thu, 29 Mar 2012

The last time we assembled the superbike offerings from the Big Four Japanese manufacturers to determine the alpha male model was 2009. The CBR won that confrontation, but a lot’s changed since then. For 2012 Honda revamped the CBR1000RR, Yamaha added traction control to the R1, the GSX-R1000 lost a muffler and last year Kawasaki introduced an all-new ZX-10R.
