BMW R-Series description
1983 BMW 800cc air head built to shred the mountain roads, it's tuned perfect, the carbs have been rejeted for the header. It started life as a R/80rt & had a full fairing so a lot of weigh has been removed, it's less than 400lbs now and has a great power to weight ratio and real good balance due to the low center of gravity with it's boxer engine and with it's dual Brembo brakes it stops on a dime.
Everything has been replaced all wearable rubber boots, seals, bearings, even the rubber trim rings on the tach & speedo, neck bearings, fork seals, new customs shocks, 2in1 exhaust header, new over sized tires and lots of little extras.. Between labor and parts, this was a $18,000 build, this is a perfect bike that need nothing. I'm sure the mileage on the odometer is correct, when I disassembled the motor the pistons and valves looked like new. I bought this bike two years ago from a museum type of collection in Tennessee where it had been stored for many years. I still have the original fairing and other original parts that goes with it if wanted. It's a great handling bike with tons of power that needs nothing but a rider. Since It's been finished I have put almost 1600 miles on it and readjusted the valves and changed the oil, so it's ready to go anywhere, I did about 60 miles on the interstate at 80+ the bike was so smooth that I could hardly tell that the motor was running. |

Used Review: Arai RX-7 Corsair helmet
Thu, 01 Apr 2010This is the lid that saved me from a face full of road and stopped a big bacon slicer (a front disc) from carving a canyon in the top of my head. This helmet was transformed from gleaming white accessory to scrap when I got back from taking the new BMW S1000RR to Morocco. A pedestrian ran into me from behind a bus and the two of us hit the ground. She’s okay and so am I apart from getting knocked out and breaking my shoulder.
