Loss of income has forced me to sell (Ragnar)

This Cafe Racer was designed and built by myself and a friend that is a semi retired old school BMW mechanic. It started life as a very nice 1978 R100RT. We finished it back in the fall of 2010, but I've only put around 500 miles on it in that time, it's been babied and has spent it's life inside. The bike always turned heads where ever it goes, and it also demands you take notice with the open megaphone exhaust.

Most of the riding I've done on this bike is here in town, I hauled it up to Northern Illinois a few years back and rode to Starved Rock with my brother, took it to the Barber Vintage Festival in Birmingham, AL back in 2011 for the first annual Cafe Racer Show.

Instead, the German manufacturer continues to roll on the throttle with an impressive start to 2014. BMW announced sales of 5,438 motorcycles and scooters in January, up from the 4,818 motorcycles sold in the same month in 2013.

WSBK 2013: Laguna Seca Race Report

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Tom Sykes and Eugene Laverty each came away with a victory as the World Superbike Championship made its return to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The first race featured two red flags, ironically caused by AMA Superbike regulars Danny Eslick and Roger Hayden, the two men with the most recent experience at the famed track. The second race was a much cleaner affair, with a dramatic finish, setting up the final two rounds of the championship.
