BMW Other description

1983 BMW R Series RT, 1983 BMW R80 RT Pacific Blue with approximate mileage 100,000. The odometer stopped working but the speedometer works fine. The bike runs great and is extremely dependable. I have owned it since 2001 and have logged many miles on it commuting to work. It has never once left me stranded. The rear tire is new and the new matching front tire is ready to be mounted. They are a matched set of Kenda Challengers. This is the second set of Kenda's on this bike. They handle as well as Metzler's but they out last them by at least 50% and they have a higher load rating than the Metzler's. They also out lasted my Bridgestone's and my Dunlop's and my Shinko's. I also have a new dashboard and a new set of the old style "peanut" valve covers and a new spare clutch cable for it as well as one used spare saddlebag (left side) and the original BMW expandable tank bag and tank cover. The bike has an Odyssey PC925 battery, a lift up rear rack, a Corbin seat with a two position removable back rest and I have the original factory seat that is in very good shape. I think I may have a few new oil filter kits left too. I had progressive fork springs installed in 2002 and they still handle like new. The paint and pinstripes are original and well-worn but still decent. The front discs have always looked worn but they work well and do not grab. Phone 770-487-6723 (please no calls after 9PM) Cash only. I have a link with 17 photos I can send if interested. Thanks $2,400.00 7704876723

BMW Bounces Back with Record August Sales

Thu, 06 Sep 2012

When BMW released its second quarter report last month, the company reported a 4.2% decrease in BMW and Husqvarna motorcycle sales due mainly to a struggling European economy. The economic woes persist but BMW appears to be recovering, reporting a new sales record for the month of August. BMW reports sales of 7,400 motorcycles and scooters in August 2012, a company record for the month and an 11.3% increase from the 6,646 units sold in August 2011 and 14.7% more than the 6,405 units sold in August 2010.

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.
