BMW R-Series description

Strong runner, starts every time.  Electrical all working. 

The BMW R90/6 was the top of the line model that BMW offered at the time. Equipped with their largest engine at the time a 898cc unit that produces just under 60hp. It was an instant success. Customers bought the R90s very quickly and in large numbers. And with their larger engines, BMW was able to convert some of the sport-bike, Kawasaki riders into BMW riders. 

This custom BMW has been outfitted with a Ural Sidecar and all necessary components.  This includes a spare sidecar wheel, and lighting.  The BMW has been very well taken care of mechanically and has some very unique accessories, including hard sided saddle bags, 2 up bench style seat, rear passenger floor boards, rear luggage rack.  Auxiliary external emergency gas can.  Custom made fairing with lower leg protectors.

This BMW starts right up and runs and drives fantastically. No stalling or sputtering. The engine is very strong. Will need some brake work, but does stop perfectly fine in its current state.  The sidecar includes its own braking system.  With a little clean up work, you will have yourself a truly unique Sidecar Motorcycle. One that will last for years and remain a sought after piece of machinery. This BMW/Ural sidecar motorcycle will make for a great project and riding motorcycle.

And fair enough, if I could afford the bike and the trip then I’d be gone as well. Obviously, BMW reaped the rewards when Ewan and Charlie showcased what their GS could really do, changing BMW’s image from solid but stuffy, to solid and cool overnight.

BMW Motorrad has shown what can be built around the in-line "two" from the middle "goose" F850GS

Tue, 26 Jun 2018

The 9Cento is a sports tourer with crossover features, and its appearance evokes associations of Italian design. So, for example, the short sportbike “tail” unobtrusively resembles the upturned, stunningly beautiful stern of Ducati Panigale sportbikes. The motorcycle is built on the basis of an in-line two-cylinder engine from the BMW F850GS, and we would not completely rule out the possibility of such a handsome man appearing in the production program.
