BMW R-Series description

Gorgeous vintage motorcycle, garage kept, all original german parts (hence the KM in title). Recent maintenance includes resealed gas tank, battery replaced, all light bulbs replaced, etc. This bike includes original saddlebags and mounts, worth about $500 now. Also, the bike is a burnt red color with no real damage to speak off, aside from minor nicks and dings (ex. small scratch on leather, small scrape on gauge from the keys etc)
I went to start it up recently and discovered a leak in the right carb due to worn gaskets and floats. Will need to be gone through.
Still fires up and runs!

Latest on my S1000RR

Not sure what's going on with the sound in this vid, but it calms down after a minute - sorry! As my long term BMW S1000RR does most of its miles working hard on track days, I felt an early 6000 mile service might be a good idea. A quick phone call to my local dealer (the friendly and efficient Pidcocks) saw my bike in the workshop the following week and back in my hands by lunchtime.
