This is a great opportunity to own a unique vintage classic. The previous owner painted this bike a Riviera Blue, which was an optional color on some later models. This was the reason I was attracted to this bike. The unique color is drop dead gorgeous. The bike is located in Durham, NC. It's at a BMW dealer who specializes in vintage bikes. It's advertised on his website with more photos: (Bombar's Beemers). Look under 'Vintage Bikes for Sale'. I'm only interested in serious offers who appreciate the character of these bikes. I'm the present owner and I can tell you it's a blast to ride. 

Check NADA price values for this bike. I believe this is a very reasonable price point for this vintage bike.

You'll have to arrange for pickup. I do have an east coast transporter that's very reliable.

Interested buyers can contact me for more details. Regards, Tom

Wed, 04 Feb 2009

We’re finally able to share some pictures and info about the production version of BMW’s new literbike, the S1000RR. We now know that it has a claimed dry weight of 403 pounds, which should be competitive with its Japanese literbike rivals. The all-new inline-Four powerplant displaces 999cc, and its cylinder head is said to be very narrow and compact, with the valves actuated by “very small” cam followers that are nearly at Formula 1 levels in size.
