BMW R-Series description

1980 BMW R100 custom cafe racer. This bike started as a stock bike owned by an older gentleman who commuted on it, and put close to 50,000 miles on it doing so. It was then purchased by a friend who spent thousands in services and customizations by a BMW specialist shop in Georgia. I purchased it from him and gave it a rework of my own style, as well as some added service. Everything on this bike has been gone over and I just replaced all of the engine top end gaskets a few weeks ago. It starts right up and runs beautifully. It has roughly 4,000 miles since the rebuild and most of the recent services.
 
The wheels were just powdercoated gloss black and the Avon tires only have a couple thousand miles on them. This bike has three disc brakes and they have all been rebuilt and have new stainless lines and pads for improved performance. The suspension was just rebuilt and the front end has been internally lowered for a much better look, along with the low clip on handlebars for the real cafe racer feel. There is a gorgeous Motogadget speedometer to keep track of your speed and mileage. The fuel tank has been given a fresh BMW Alpine White paint job, and the racing stripes are decals with can be removed if they are not your style. The tank is topped off with a custom hand machined billet gas cap. The rear subframe is a custom unit and my favorite part of the bike. It has a LED rear tail light and brake light strip on the end of it. The seat is custom made for the bike and covered in red leather with a double stitch diamond pattern. Black billet aluminum rearsets complete the cafe ergonomics. They are a great match with the clip on handlebars.

There is an airbox delete kit on the bike and it has a upgraded lithium ion battery mounted semi-hidden under the seat. The carburetors were fully rebuild and ultrasonically cleaned, along with being rejetted. They are fitted with high performance dirtbike style airfilters for better looks and performance. The exhaust is a custom mounted set of mini mufflers that sound aggressive without being obnoxious, and the rest of the exhaust has been wrapped with high heat header wrap to keep things nice and cool. 

This bike needs absolutely nothing other than a new owner ready to enjoy it! Everywhere this bike goes it forms a crowd. Park it next to a new $30,000 Harley and no one will even notice the other bike. A true cafe racer that is a blast to ride around on! I can assist with shipping both internationally and domestically. Clean Florida title in hand.

BMW Helps Vertically Challenged

Tue, 02 Dec 2008

No matter where they go or what they do, it seems that people who are vertically challenged always get the ‘short’ end of the stick, pardon the pun. Historically, if a pint-sized person wanted to get into the hobby of motorcycling, their choices were limited to bikes like the Suzuki Marauder, Ninja 250 or HD Sportster (the thought alone makes my back hurt.) BMW Motorrad now has good news for riders who either need or simply prefer a lower seat height, but do not want to compromise on model choice. BMW is the first motorcycle manufacturer to launch a range of models that can be ordered from the factory with lowered suspension – to provide customers with low seat height options.
