BMW R-Series description
|
I bought this bike in 2008 from the second owner in Hurricane WV. It showed 17469 miles on the speedo. He had partially disassembled the bike and had all parts for it and quite a lot of NOS parts in their original boxes. The bike was 98% complete. VIN # is 624513 and is confirmed to be a 1963 by VBMWO. It is a triple matching engine, frame and and ID Tag. Rex Floyd completed the total restoration and rode the bike 100 miles and then adjusted the valves and torqued all the engine fasteners. The speedo was connected after this and it now reflects 98 miles which is how far it has been ridden since I picked it up. Speedo was rebuilt by North Hollywood Speedometer and looks and functions as new. All black body parts are finished in the correct single stage paint with accurately reproduced painted pin striping. All other parts were professionally powder coated in a beautiful gloss black. The engine, gearbox and final drive were stripped , cleaned and completely rebuilt with new parts and modern seals so hypoid lubricant can be used in the drive train with no worries. Drivetrain cases and wheel hubs were cleaned and finished by hand with scotch brite pads and WD 40. No blasting of any kind was involved. The work included correct new pistons and rings, 1st oversize, new slingers ,bearings etc. Heads were redone by a professional machine shop that include new valves, springs and keepers. The valves have a 3- angle valve job like is commonly seen on high performance engines. The exhaust threads on the heads are perfect. Valve covers were beat up so I replaced them with NOS covers. Crankshaft was totally rebuilt by Brent’s Machine Works and it drives a lightened flywheel for better acceleration. Wheels were spoked with S/S spokes from Buchanans and current new aluminum rims from Benchmark Works and were trued within 10 thousandths. Carbs are original with correct numbers and were cleaned and rebuilt with new floats and lever tops. Brake shoes were lined with modern brake material and installed with the proper copper rivets. headers and silencers are high quality stainless steel reproductions. Handlebars are new along with new S/S risers. handlebar perches were stripped and repainted the correct color. All polished aluminum was cleaned and polished to a high sheen. All cables are new BMW. New Denfield solo seat with new pillar block. All rubber parts were replaced with new. New High quality Albert mirrors. Ignition system was refurbished with a new coil from Bench Mark Works along with copper core plug wires. The headlight was replaced with a Halogen 6V conversion and the tail light is LED for better safety. All 4 shocks were replaced with new. Period saddlebags were painted the same as the body. This bike starts 1st or 2nd kick every time and runs and rides like a new bike. It could be shown in a bike show or be a daily rider. If you are looking for one of the finest restorations in existence, look no further than here. I have all receipts except for labor that total $18399. All provenance will be included in the sale. I have a clean Kentucky title in hand. Please contact me if you have any questions at 910 850-9899. Auction goes forward AS IS/WHERE IS, with no warranties or guarantees either expressed or implied. |

2011-2013 BMW F800GS and F700GS Recalled in Canada
Wed, 19 Jun 2013Transport Canada announced a recall for the 2011-2013 BMW F800GS and the 2013 F700GS because of a problem with the kickstand ignition cut-off switch. The switch is designed to turn off the engine when the stand is down and the motorcycle is shifted into gear; this prevents the motorcycle from being ridden with the kickstand deployed. On certain BMW F800GS and F700GS models however, the cut-off switch can loosen and become damaged.
The Falloon Files: 1973 BMW R90S
Mon, 24 Oct 2022Let's Boxer In 1973, I was beginning to look at the streetbike magazines as well as the dirtbike ones on the magazine rack at Lyons Drug; there must’ve been 20 or 30 of them, and plenty of time to browse as there was no www, and very little hope of obtaining any motorcycle at all anytime soon. The 1973 BMW R90S was a chunk of pure unobtanium, from a planet far, far away, that knocked my striped tube socks completely off. Ian Falloon wrote an entire 128-page book about it.
Kevin Ash, one year on
Wed, 08 Jan 2014I’ve lost dozens of friends in bike racing over the years, and while each death was a shock and incredibly sad, I’ve always had some kind of internal coping mechanism that allowed me to carry on relatively unaffected. Maybe it’s because I was always extremely passionate and committed when taking part in my dangerous sport so was also prepared to pay the ultimate price should things go wrong. Rightly or wrongly I’ve taken comfort from the fact that these unfortunate racers have checked out while doing something they love. I’ve also lost a few journalist friends in bike accidents over the years but for some reason these have hit me harder. The worst and possibly as it is the most recent is Kevin Ash who was killed last January while on a BMW launch in South Africa. Starting in 2001, over a period of ten years, I was in Kevin’s company on countless new bike launches in pretty much every corner of the world. At times he was cocky and occasionally irritating but always entertaining with a wicked sense of humour. He was many things but no one can deny he was a brilliant journalist and his technical knowledge was second to none. I always appreciated his complete enthusiasm to all things biking as he would ride through any weather on a daily basis to jobs or airports and seemed to always be tinkering with winter projects (mainly Ducatis) at home. I also admired how much work he got through as he had columns in more than one weekly publication plus all his launch and web work. He was a competent safe rider who was certainly quick enough to evaluate any new bike thrown his way. Kevin also drove a Porsche but then none of us are perfect! I looked to Kevin as a wise Owl so not long after I started working with TWO/ Visordown, I asked him on an R1 launch in Australia he thought the motorcycle industry was currently in a good place. His reply was, ‘we’ve just been flown here business class, been taken by speed boat to our five star hotel under Sydney Harbour Bridge, Yamaha have wined and dined us and furnished us with expensive gifts each day, what do you think Niall? How times have changed. On the subject on air travel he once told me, ‘when travelling business or first class it’s not about the pampering, comfy beds or fine dining, the important part is looking smug as you walk straight past all the people lining up at the cattle class check in! On more than one occasion I had food or drink spurt out when Kevin would deliver unexpected one line funnies at the dinner table.
