BMW R-Series description

1977 BMW R100S with Krauser 4 valve heads and flat slide Mikunis.  High performance Krauser heads installed & dyno tuned by Chris Hodgson of San Jose BMW.  Originally purchased in central California.  Bike starts and runs/rides, it needs a tune-up.  The motorcycle does not leak, smoke or make any unusual sounds.  The transmission shifts well.  It's a 40 year old vintage bike, maintained but unrestored.  The paint is appropriate for a motorcycle this age,  it has a few flaws, but presents honestly and attractively. The fuel system is clean and it has a new (60 days) glass-mat  battery installed.  While parked at BMW motorcycle events it always draws a crowd.  It has always been stored indoors since new.  If you have the funds available for purchase, and would like questions answered I will return phone calls to U.S. numbers.  Please be a serious buyer if calling.  Leave a voice message at (nine O for) 23for-sixtyseven eighty.  I have other horses in the stable, and am thinning the herd so check my other auctions for uncommon German and Italian motorcycles.  I have been riding and collecting bmw motorcycles since 1987.  Time changes everything, and I am finally ready to let someone else enjoy owning some of them.

This motorcycle, with the associated documentation, is a rare bird to say the least.   Make it yours.

BMW's optional extras are getting ridiculous

Sat, 25 Jan 2014

The third instalment of the Indian action blockbuster Dhoom became the highest grossing Indian film of all time. More interesting than that are the laughable bike scenes, with Dhoom 3 featuring one chase scene between a K1300R and a S1000RR. In the first Dhoom film a Hayubasu magically transformed into 125cc bike for a train jump.

How to destroy a GoPro

Wed, 14 Mar 2012

That scraping sound you can hear is a mixture of a knee slider and the GoPro camera housing grazing the tarmac at Mugello. The footage was shot on-board the BMW Motorrad France Team Thevent machine ridden by Hugo Marchand, in testing ahead of the 2012 Endurance World Championship. He managed to wreck the housing that holds the GoPro camera after only three laps.
