BMW Other description

Bike has been well maintained, all records available to show this, by professional mechanics (Bob's BMW, MD; Tom Turnbal, Baltimore). I'm the second owner and enjoyed it for 6 months before deciding I wanted a speed bike. 

Bike runs perfectly, starts every time, needs nothing mechanically. Metzler Lasertech tires have plenty of tread left. 
Additions: round headlight setup (seen in photo) is easy to assemble, I have all parts; Vetter "Quicksilver" fairing and saddlebags available, with keys; full bmw toolkit. 
Issues: speedometer (works) but needle broke. 
This bike is ton of fun to ride, extremely reliable, and will run for literally hundreds of thousands of miles longer. It's a great both city and highway, and people have complemented the flat black look. 
Local pickup preferred. 
Thanks for looking!

When is a 500 Not a 500? – Question of the Day

Wed, 24 Apr 2024

When it's a 451, d'uh. In our last Question of the Day, we asked about some of the more… questionable names given to motorcycles (Hondas seemed to come up fairly often in the replies, which is both interesting and somehow not surprising.) I mentioned how it’s generally safer for a manufacturer to stick to a combination of letters and numbers. While that’s generally true, apart from the occasionally comical practice of tackling on another “R” to make a model sound sportier ( looking at you again, Honda), it does bring the focus onto yet another common pet peeve: motorcycles with misleading numbers in the name.
