BMW R-Series description
This R-27 has been in
our family for over 45 years. I had Kevin Brooks at Brooks Motor Works in
Washington do a frame off restoration that cost over $9,000 and I have ridden
it only 600 miles since then. The bike is the last of the seven vintage BMW
motorcycles that I have owned and I am only selling now because I am leaving on
an open ended sailing trip around the world and it is time to sell everything I
own. If you are interested in a restored R27 then this is the one you
have been waiting for.
Everything in the
engine, trany, final drive, and steering was rebuilt with no expense spared. I
had intended to keep this bike the rest of my life. The speedo was
rebuilt at Palo Alto. The paint was redone, the fuel tank was replaced, Fuel
system rebuilt.... the list goes on and on. All receipts are available along
with a two inch thick file of receipts and history for the motorcycle.
I kept the bench
seat that was original to the bike in this rebuild.... But converting this to
saddle seat is easy to do and the parts are all readily available.
Because I have put so
much into this bike..... My price is really very firm. Please do not contact me
for lowball offers that are along the lines of the other eBay sold listings
that I see for bikes that are in 'original' condition. This bike was loved and
cared for then rebuilt to the highest standards possible. |

Revealed at the 2012 EICMA Show in Milan, Italy, the 2013 BMW F800ST is equipped with a 798cc parallel Twin engine claiming 88 hp at 8000rpm, an increase from the BMW F800ST’s claim of 84 hp at 8000rpm (the 2012 F700GS and F800GS also claims 84hp from a similar engine.)

BMW GS Rider Rescues Cow Calf From Canal [Video]
Wed, 26 Oct 2011As a motorcyclist I’ve made it my duty to stop and lend assistance any time I see a fellow rider that looks like they’re in need, a sort of paying it forward mentality for the many times I found myself in need of a hand. In most instances the rider stopped on the road’s edge had pulled to the side temporarily to resolve an innocuous issue, but occasionally a rider genuinely needed my help. In either case the riders were grateful that a fellow motorcyclist was checking up on them.
