BMW R-Series description

Helping my retired neighbor who is the original owner, sell his beloved pampered BMW which he bought off the showroom floor in 1971 when he was in his 40's! It only has 16000 original miles on it !!! It has not been ridden in a good 12 years or so. He had it COMPLETELY tuned up this summer. The left cylinder blows a little smoke but it should clear up if someone would just take it for a spin on the highway. He said that he added some oil additives and that it should burn out. I did notice the mirrors don't match and it includes the cover. This motorcycle was NEVER EVER ridden hard. It is ALL ORIGINAL. Tires are recent continentals.

Any questions ,call the owner, Irv, 773-528-0023, if no answer, leave a message and he will call you back. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND LOOK AT ALL THE PHOTOS AS THEY ARE PART OF THE DESCRIPTION and bid accordingly.

Selling at no reserve so bid to win !

BMW has launched an HP Race Power Kit for the S1000 RR costing £2,850 including VAT.For trackday riders and racers, the kit - a new ECU and an Akrapovic exhaust system - increases peak power and torque, while optimising the bike’s engine, braking and power management systems, claim BMW, for short circuit riding and racing.Ayrton Badovini’s 2010 FIM Superstock 1000 championship-winning bike uses the HP Race Power Kit. It can also be found on the Jentin Racing-BMW Motorrad S 1000 RR being raced by Richard Cooper in the British National Superstock championship.• Maximum engine output increased by 4bhp and 6lb.ft to 197bhp (147kW) and 88.5 lb.ft (120 Nm) with power and torque significantly bolstered throughout the key 5000 to 9000 rpm midrange• Once installed, the power mapping for the four engine management riding modes (‘Rain’, ‘Sport’, ‘Race’ and ‘Slick’) is identical and the S 1000 RR delivers the full 197bhp across all four modes• The different modes instead alter the electronic rider aids with the Race ABS reducing input and the Dynamic Traction Control allowing full power at greater lean angles as the modes move from ‘Rain’ through to ‘Slick’• Engine braking on overrun is reduced giving more balanced corner entry• Pit-lane limiter activated when the start button is held down in first gear (actual speed maintained may vary with the bike’s gearing)• Akrapovic titanium and carbon-fibre full exhaust system saves 6.8kg over stock and includes a baffle which allows the exhaust to meet noise regulations in place at some circuits

2011-2013 BMW F800GS and F700GS Recalled in Canada

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

Transport Canada announced a recall for the 2011-2013 BMW F800GS and the 2013 F700GS because of a problem with the kickstand ignition cut-off switch. The switch is designed to turn off the engine when the stand is down and the motorcycle is shifted into gear; this prevents the motorcycle from being ridden with the kickstand deployed. On certain BMW F800GS and F700GS models however, the cut-off switch can loosen and become damaged.
