BMW Other description

1950 BMW Other , This is a fully and 100% restored 1950 R 51/2 BMW with title. Currently in my garage in Athens, Greece where I finished restoration a few months ago. All original German parts - matching numbers engine and body, engine and all mechanical parts 100% restored. (The write stripe on the front fender has been corrected. It is now at the edge of the fender). This is a brand new motorcycle. Immaculate. A collector's item. Bike will be shipped over to US upon commitment from buyer. Some History: bike was bought from a gentleman in San Diego in 1998. Looks like it was owned by gangs in the 50's and 60's due to emblems and cut exhaust pipes (have some pictures). The first few years 1998-2008 I did research and collected few missing parts from around the world. Actual restoration took place from 2009-2013 with the assistance of an experience and known restorer in Athens Greece. Completely restored inside out by the book. $23,000.00

2022 BMW R18B (And R18 Transcontinental) Review - First Ride

Wed, 01 Sep 2021

Fast Facts Drivetrain unchanged from original R18 Self-leveling rear ride height Adaptive cruise control Amazing TFT screen Phone-based navigation Tank holds 6.3 gallons for 304 mile calculated range MSRP $22,590 (base) Riding 1,475 miles to see if the BMW R18B has the bagger chops to ease into this competitive market Credit: Photos by Kevin Wing As I pull the 2022 BMW R18B out of the underground parking of the hotel where BMW had hosted its new model introduction, I wonder if a 7:30 departure still qualifies as my crack-of-dawn goal. Within a couple of blocks, I’m fully embroiled in the peak Denver commuter bump-and-grind. Still, I settle into an easy rhythm of following the mechanical voice instructions paired with their informative visual counterparts on the massive TFT screen.

Bridgestone BT-023 tyre tested

Fri, 19 Mar 2010

Replacing the BT-021, the 023 has a uniform carcass construction but has two different compounds of rubber to alter its performance. The inner rubber is harder for increased life while the rubber on the tyre’s edges is softer for outright grip. On the brief dry sections of our ride the 023 seemed to get up to working temperature rapidly and delivered good dry grip, certainly more than enough for most road riders if you are honest about your riding ability.

Fake motorcycle police. Why?

Tue, 17 Jan 2012

People who like to pretend they're police baffle me and annoy me in equal measure. I took this picture the other day at Cobham, about to join the A3 heading to Guildford. I guessed that the guy on the left had just bought his rather fetching BMW off the guy on the right.
