BMW R-Series description

Up for sale is a 1971 BMW R75/5 short wheel base motorcycle. This bike runs excellent and has had over 1k worth of repairs and maintenance since I've owned it this past year. It has been garage kept. The previous owner was an older gentleman who had knee surgery so he was unable to ride the bike for a couple of years. It was always run and has never been sitting for long. 

This motorcycle is cosmetically in good shape but is nowhere near mint or completely original. It starts up usually on the first or second try and has been incredibly reliable daily driver for me this past year. With a new job my wife and I need a second car so I am sadly listing my bike. It is one of the most handsome bikes you will see anywhere and I constantly have people coming up beside me and saying how much they love the bike. The bike is very powerful and some of my friends who have a lot more experience than me say its one of the most fun bikes they have ridden. If you live in the Nashville area please come by and take a look and test drive the photos do not do it justice!

BMW M 1000 R and Updated S 1000 RR Coming for 2023

Mon, 19 Sep 2022

Updated 999cc Shiftcam engine It’s been nearly two years since BMW first debuted the M 1000 RR, its first motorcycle to carry the company’s high-performance M brand. We knew it wouldn’t be the first, though, after we broke the news that BMW had trademarked the name along with “M 1000 XR” and “M 1300 GS.” What we didn’t expect was for the next M-branded motorcycle to be based on the S 1000 R. That now looks to be the case, as a new M 1000 R model has appeared in vehicle certification documents in Switzerland and Germany.

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.
