BMW R-Series description

Complete 1971 BMW R75/5 with a R80/7 engine and transmission. Factory R75 engine is long gone. R80/7 Engine has good compression, oil, doesn't leak oil, spins with the starter motor very well, and has very good spark. CARBURETORS NEED COMPLETE REBUILD, bike needs a new battery. I tried to get it started but carbs are very dirty and clogged. Right cylinder head threads are a little chewed up, SEE PHOTO. Comes with spare exhaust headers, not cylinder heads, I DO NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT CYLINDER HEAD. I have some of the hardware, but some will need to be sourced. I recommend replacing the cables and grips as well as the rear tire. I have a matching new, never used, rear knobby tire if you would like it. This bike has been sitting in an aircraft hanger for the last 12 years. It's clean and rust free. Gas tank is completely rust free, minus top inlet, scratched from gas pump nozzles while filling it up. Gas Tank has "Red Kote" liner. Rear wheel is not factory, but I have the factory rear hub and rim, complete with chrome hub cover. All electronics work, headlamp, turn signals, horn, brake light. I have the headlamp chrome and retaining clips. I have the ignition Key and clear title. I have the front fender and fairing as well. Speedo is missing the RPM indicator. PAINT IS NOT ORIGINAL, was repainted back in the day. Bike has new front tire and tube, I replaced it in order to be able to roll it around. I've always wanted a R75 but life is forcing me to part with this beauty. VIEW MY FEEDBACK, bid with confidence. I can deliver if need be. I live in Texas, delivering to either coast starts at $1300 and goes up from there. Price reflects fast and efficient means of transport.

BMW Helps Vertically Challenged

Tue, 02 Dec 2008

No matter where they go or what they do, it seems that people who are vertically challenged always get the ‘short’ end of the stick, pardon the pun. Historically, if a pint-sized person wanted to get into the hobby of motorcycling, their choices were limited to bikes like the Suzuki Marauder, Ninja 250 or HD Sportster (the thought alone makes my back hurt.) BMW Motorrad now has good news for riders who either need or simply prefer a lower seat height, but do not want to compromise on model choice. BMW is the first motorcycle manufacturer to launch a range of models that can be ordered from the factory with lowered suspension – to provide customers with low seat height options.

Capirex’s New Ride: the BMW M MotoGP Safety Car

Wed, 11 Apr 2012

Retired racer Loris Capirossi has been named BMW M MotoGP Expert, representing the official MotoGP safety car provider in the world championship. Since retiring from racing after the 2011 MotoGP season Capirossi has been serving as MotoGP’s Safety Adviser. That, plus his familiarity with the MotoGP paddock and its racing circuits, makes him the logical choice as an ambassador for BMW M, the German manufacturer’s racing-performance subsidiary.
