BMW R-Series description

Rare extremely low mileage classic black BMW with the small sport tank.  Originally a California bike.  Bought from 2nd owner.
Early model R90/6 (1/74 mfg date) with factory LWB modification - still has the alloy turn signals, optional kick starter, hash marks on the gauges 
Very, very clean, was dry stored since 2002. Just installed a new battery, new oil, air filters, cleaned carbs, new floats.
Needs nothing but a key cut for seat latch and perhaps tires. Included is a complete tuneup kit: points, plugs, carb rebuild kit, valve cover gaskets. Tank and fenders are sporting original paint. Side covers have either been repainted or just had decals removed. Have a set of decals on order.
Valve cover on left side has minor rash from a spill (possibly why it was put in storage) and a small scuff shows on the left side of the instrument cluster as shown in the pics. Some minor rust and pitting on the bars. Otherwise a very nice and complete example.
Starts first kick or at the touch of the button, idles quietly, runs, stops & shifts well. No leaks, no smoke, everything works - all of the mechanical and electrical is functioning well.

Nevertheless, Interwetten Racing‘s Thomas Luthi, who rides a Honda-powered Suter machine in the Moto2 World Championship is a BMW brand ambassador, and thus, the German manufacturer has produced a limited edition R1200GS in his name.

BMW Standardizes Switches

Thu, 23 Oct 2008

Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isn’t your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.
