I got this BMW R60/5 two years ago after it was sitting in a indoor garage for about 9 years. It has triple Matching engine, ID tag & frame numbers (#2941524 ). This R60/5 runs and stops as it should be 40 years ago. All the lights and controls are all in working condition. This 1972 BMW R60/5 has the one year only (1970) very rare alley turn signal housing with reflectors which is much better looking. This very original R60/5 has original paint all around beside the rear fender which has been repainted to match the bike. The paint on the bike DOES show it's 40 years of using with normal dings and dents. The red seal in the gas tank is in REALLY well condition which can been seen from one of the photos. The tires are old but still useable, and a new set can be well used here. This is going to be the next big thing after /2 prices have been sky high. The reason I only put about 400 miles after the bike is done is because I have many others to exercise. This bike would be a great true original BMW vintage bike for a relaxing afternoon ride to get a coffee or cursing along the back roads. As I said, it runs and stops as it should be and does NOT leak. NO manual, tool kit, tool box or hand pump included.

2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 First Look
Wed, 02 Oct 2024The Svartpilen 801 has a new roadster-styled sibling, as Husqvarna announces the new White Arrow Vitpilen 801. Like the Black Arrow, the Vitpilen adopts the 799cc LC8c Parallel-Twin of the KTM 790 Duke, offering yet a new option to the shared platform. Ryan Adams recently reviewed the Svartpilen 801 and found it a worthy contender in the market that brings its own unique style alongside proven performance. That theme continues with the new Vitpilen, which brings its own take, with more aggressive ergonomics and a bright splash of color in yellow (a silver color is also available if you prefer something less flashy).

BMW S1000RR Valve Train Working at High RPM [video]
Tue, 23 Feb 2010Id like to ramble on about a dozen different things relating to this video, but the 3- minute, 19-second clip speaks for itself. However, once the engine is revving at high rpm, watching the cams, finger followers and valve springs seemingly freeze in action due to the incredible speeds, I was reminded of that whole Dude, the faster I went the more everything around me seemed to slow down, experience weve all heard about or experienced. Enjoy!
