BMW R-Series description

This 1979 BMW R100 has had one long term California owner.  Retaining its original blue license plates, this motorcycle has been meticulously maintained from new. 

The motorcycle is equipped with a special order police issue solo seat from Great Britain.  Dual disks on the front and a single disk on the rear - new master cylinder.  New westco battery, rebuilt carbs, tuned and sync'd, new valve covers, new valve cover gaskets, rebuilt petcocks, freshly powder coated snowflake wheels, new tires, new tubes, new handlebar switches. 

The 1000cc motor pulls strong and smooth with incredible torque. Gear change is smooth and precise. 

I have a complete set of panniers and chrome brackets available for the bike, these can be fitted at request.  

Having just had a major service, this BMW is ready to ride anywhere, fly in - ride home.  This is a very handsome classic airhead. 

Clear California title, registered and insured. 

I can deliver anywhere in the USA for $500.

BMW Begins Motorcycle Production in Thailand

Thu, 28 Nov 2013

BMW has opened a new motorcycle assembly line at the company’s factory in Thailand. The facility will initially only produce F800R roadsters from complete knock-down kits for the Thai market, though BMW plans to eventually make the facility a production hub for other Asian markets. The Thai facility is BMW’s first wholly-owned motorcycle assembly plant outside of Germany, though the company does share facilities in Manaus, Brazil with local manufacturer DAFRA Motos.
