This is a nice , low mile example of a good solid 70s airhead. The bike starts and runs great. It has been converted to dual plug at some point. It has set up for a bit prior to me getting it ready for sale so it will need your standard fluid change of your choice and should be ready to go. The bike has been repainted in what looks pretty close to the factory Monza blue at some point in its life. It looks good and shines well. The bike has a Vetter faring installed thats in great shape. It could be removed easily if thats not your thing. Youll just need the headlight lens, trim ring, and blinkers from a stock bike as I do not have these parts. The wheels and spokes look good but the tires do need to be replaced. Instead of changing them, I decided to let the new owner pick his or her brand out for themselves and have adjusted the price accordingly. The fork boots are a little dry as well and I would replace them the next time I serviced the forks or while I had the front tire off. I dont know much about the bikes history other than it was owned by a very good friend that recently passed. I have a book with some paperwork that will come with the bike as well as several sets of keys. I have the keys for the Vetter fairing, and extra ignition key, a fork lock key, keys for the Samsonite luggage, and a few more bits that come with it as well. The luggage is in great shape and is a nice addition to the bike. There is no tool kit but the air pump is there.
This seems to be a very good bike needs little to just ride and have fun. Im selling the bike no reserve. The high bidder at the end gets it. That being said it is a 39 year old bike and comes with no guarantees/ warranties expressed or implied. A local inspection is welcomed and recommended prior to bidding. Payment is due via cashiers check, bank wire, or cash in person. All funds must clear my bank before the bike or title will be released. The bike must be paid for in full within 5 days of the acutions end and a $500 non refundable deposit is due within 12 hours. Arrangement for the remainder need to be handled within the 12 hours as well. The bike must be picked up within 3 weeks of auctions end or storage fees will apply . The title is a open Indiana title in my friends name. Ive tried to take plenty of pictures to show the true condition of the bike. Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding as I want no surprises on either end. Thanks
Author of five books and thousands of articles, Clement Salvadori’s newest tome takes its reader on 30 varying trips around the world. From kick-starting a 500cc Single at 17,200 feet in the Tibetan Himalayas to riding to Pamplona, Spain, in 1960 to run with the bulls, the 416-page book is an adventure-travel enthusiast’s dream. An excerpt from chapter one, Afghanistan 1973, reads: “While working at the American embassy in Rome I decided that after five years I did not want to continue my career as a diplomat.
Euro 5 updates and more for six-cylinder K bikes
The R18 Transcontinental and R18 Bagger have been getting a lot of attention lately, as BMW‘s foray into large-displacement cruiser touring segment. Getting somewhat lost, however, are BMW’s existing K1600 range, which used to be the company’s representatives in the touring category. While still part of BMW’s lineup, the six-cylinder models have not been updated since the 2017 model year, not even receiving any changes to meet Euro 5 standards that came into effect last year.
Two weeks ago, BMW announced updates to its R 1250 R roadster. It’s not a big surprise, then, that many of those same updates are coming to the R 1250 RS. And just like the roadster, the updated 2023 R 1250 RS remains at the same MSRP as 2022: $15,695.
