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.

Whilst stretched out bikes aren't that popular over here in the UK, you can certainly appreciate them a whole lot more more when you know they're going to be used at a drag strip. This video shows bike builder and ex-racer Roland Sands work his magic on a BMW S1000RR. Future plans are to increase the engine to 300bhp, and achieve speeds of 220mph.

Thu, 23 Jun 2011

BMW previously announced it will unveil two new scooter models at this fall’s EICMA Show in Milan, but the German manufacturer may have some news for us even sooner. BMW‘s global media site has a new section set up for scooter news. The section is empty at the moment, except for a subsection titled “Scooter Technology”.
