BMW R-Series description

25 year owner.  This bike was restored 10 years ago.  Like most, it's a one kick start bike. Engine has been gone through, with lower end checking out fine, valve job done with slingers cleaned.  Transmission redone with new bearings and seals.

12V conversion,  H-4 headlight plus GM points plate installed.  Frame and swing arms powder coated. All chrome items replated.  Stainless and white cadmium fasteners. New cables and all rubber parts replaced. New rims with stainless spokes. All chassis bearings replaced. European bars with Hella  signals. Rear fender was repainted and hand striped. The rest of the paint is in very nice condition. Bike has matching numbers.

The bike has scuffs on the right tailpipe and right valve cover.  The air cleaner cover has a cable rub.  The tank has a hard to see stone chip indent. It's just to the right of the reflection of my finger nail. See photos.  There is a very shallow almost imperceptible  dimple on the left side of the gas tank between the BMW emblem the knee rubber that I can't make appear in my photos. Lastly, the right carb drips occasionally after shut down. Contact me for more photos or questions.

Seeley On Form On First Night Of North West 200

Fri, 16 May 2014

Alastair Seeley took a double in the Ballymoney Borough council Supersport and Pirtek Superstock events at the start of racing at the Vauxhall International North West 200 this evening, what many “real” road racers refer to as the precursor to the Isle Of Man TT. In the Supersport race, the ‘Wee Wizard’ survived being caught up in a first lap crash at York hairpin that left him languishing in 16th to come through and win the opening race of the night on his Mar-Train Yamaha R6. Lee Johnston was the rider who went down in the first lap crash, causing Seeley to take evasive action to avoid going down himself.
