BMW R-Series description

5 DAY AUCTION 
You are looking at a 1987 BMW R100 RT model which began life as a fully faired touring bike and has been reimagined as a cafe racer.  Custom leather saddle and fiberglass rear end, modern LED indicator lights and taillight. Pegs are relocated for a sportier riding position and handlebars have been swapped. Bike has a deep growl, but is not obnoxious...sounds like an air cooled porsche on two wheels. ONLY QUALITY PARTS USED. The original block, trans and running gear have not been modified and are in great running order. Very strong bike, shifts smooth and idles consistently. Just installed a new starter and battery. Mileage unknown ( no odometer)- last recorded was around 50k. Turn signals stopped working after new battery was installed, needs troubleshooting. Otherwise a trouble free commuter or weekend cruiser. Contact me for more detailed photos, videos or information. Will be posting closeup photos shortly, since many have asked. 
We have had a decent amount of local interest and are giving opportunity to wider market.

BMW R 1300 GS, R 1400 GS and M 1300 GS Expected for 2023

Tue, 29 Mar 2022

All three expected to share a new liquid-cooled Boxer engine Credit: Photos by Bernhard Höhne Last summer, we published photos of a very raw BMW GS prototype undergoing testing. The test mule was heavily disguised, to the point of having panels with a fake trellis covering the real subframe. The prototypes were so raw, it was difficult to tell exactly how much of it would make it to a production model.

BMW Streamlines WSBK Program, Hands Reins to BMW Italia

Mon, 16 Jul 2012

BMW announced it realigning its World Superbike Championship program, with BMW Motorrad Italia taking over as the company’s factory team in 2013. The German manufacturer is currently represented by two teams in the WSBK championship, the BMW Motorrad with Marco Melandri and Leon Haslam and the BMW Motorrad Italia Goldbet team represented by Michel Fabrizio and Ayrton Badovini (there is also a privateer effort of Mark Aitchison riding a BMW S1000RR for the Grillini Progea team.) Next year however, BMW’s Milan-based Italian arm will be responsible for the factory team as well as chassis development and testing. BMW Motorrad itself will focus on developing the power train and electronics.

WSBK: 2012 Donington Results – Video

Mon, 14 May 2012

BMW earned its first-ever World Superbike race win at the U.K.’s Donington Park, but missed out on sweeping the round after teammates Leon Haslam and Marco Melandri crashed on the final corner while battling for the lead in the second race. Melandri earned BMW its landmark first win in Race One leading Haslam in a one-two finish. They could have repeated that finish in Race Two but Haslam low-sided after making contact with Honda‘s Jonathon Rea trying to pass on the inside.
