BMW R-Series description

This is a 1966 BMW R69S sport model.  The engine, frame and ID tag ALL have matching numbers 661164 and comes with a title.  This motorcycle has just had a complete restoration by a certified BMW mechanic who has had many years of experience in restorations.  The engine, transmission and final drive (gear ratio 25/8) were completely rebuilt with ALL new bearings and seals.  The engine had the slingers cleaned.  Anything that needed to be replaced was replaced if not within specs.  The carburetors (matching and correct R69S) were cleaned, blasted and rebuilt.  The frame and frontend was bead blasted and powder coated black.  The frame has the tapered steering head bearings installed.  All of the hardware was cad plated and anything that was chromed was rechromed.  It has a NEW wiring harness.  The sheet metal was in very nice condition and needed very minimal work.  It was bead blasted and painted with a single stage black paint and was hand pinstriped like they were originally.  The fuel tank is the large “sport tank” and the inside is perfect.  The rims are the “Weinmann” aluminum and were laced with Buchannan stainless spokes.  The exhaust is NEW reproduction, but is very nice.  The speedometer is not the original one, as I had the original sent out to get rebuilt but that never happened so I got it back.  I will include the original speedometer which is complete but needs to be rebuilt.  I will also leave the current speedometer in the bucket.  This motorcycle runs great and is very smooth and quiet.  It has less than 50 miles on it since the rebuild and restoration.  I really don’t want to sell this bike, but I live on a gravel road and I refuse to ride this beautiful machine down a gravel road.  This is sold “as is” with no warranty.  A non-refundable deposit of $500.00  is due to my PayPal account within 24 hours of the auction end.  The balance is due by wire transfer or bank check upon picking up the motorcycle.  I can assist with loading the bike or any other way that you may need.  Please ask any and all questions…you may call me direct 952.994.8411…Thank you

BMW Design Chief David Robb Steps Down; Edgar Heinrich Named Successor

Mon, 30 Jan 2012

David Robb, the man responsible for BMW‘s split-face motorcycle design, has left the German manufacturer. A native of Boston, Mass., Robb joined BMW as its design chief in 1993, and over the ensuing 18 years expanded the company’s product line to include the top selling R1200GS, the six-cylinder K1600GT and GTL, and the S1000RR superbike (that’s him on the far right in the picture above). The 56-year-old’s latest design to enter production are the C600 Sport and C650GT maxi-scooters.

BMW S1000RR Valve Train Working at High RPM [video]

Tue, 23 Feb 2010

Id like to ramble on about a dozen different things relating to this video, but the 3- minute, 19-second clip speaks for itself. However, once the engine is revving at high rpm, watching the cams, finger followers and valve springs seemingly freeze in action due to the incredible speeds, I was reminded of that whole Dude, the faster I went the more everything around me seemed to slow down, experience weve all heard about or experienced. Enjoy!

WSBK 2013: Monza Race Report

Mon, 13 May 2013

Eugene Laverty and Marco Melandri split a pair of victories at Monza but the most biggest news from the World Superbike weekend was a strange series of appeals after Race Two that saw Tom Sykes finish third, relegated to fourth and then reinstated on the final step of the podium. The unusual mix-up occurred after Sykes, sitting in third place, ran off track and into the run off area on Turn 5 on his final lap. The Kawasaki rider returned to the track again in third place where he finished ahead of Aprilia‘s Sylvain Guintoli.
