1978 BMW R-Series (1978)
My very clean 1978 BMW R80/7 w/ 42,200k miles, all completely stock except for hand grips, carbon brake lines. European handlebars, luggage tailpiece and hard side bags in good shape. Very dependable, smooth, easy starting. Tank has scrape on left side from a tipover in my garage when it hit another bike's handlebar. Not a show bike, but original paint and nice looking. Some bolts oxidizing, but otherwise quite nice. Some wear on the seat sides but otherwise intact (see pict) Relatively new front tire and battery (changed in last 6 months). All lights, guages and switches working, rides nicely, tuned well, vibration-free, and sounds great. Have owned bike 4 years, mostly use as weekend getaway bike. Need to thin the herd a little.2016-12-06 04:40:54Dobbs Ferry, New York, United States4231000 -

1978 BMW R-Series (1978)
You are bidding on a nice and very original numbers matching 1978 BMW R 80/7 motorcycle This motorcycle was pickled (all fluids drained) and stored in a garage in North Florida for over 12 years. Originally purchased in Germany by owner who was in the military so it has the kilometer speedometer instead of reading miles. Shows only 16,400 kilometers or 10,160 miles, and the condition and how it runs tells the story. It is all original except for the battery, tires and front brake hose which I replaced. It was missing and I added one of the side gas tank BMW emblems which does not have the clear factory coating. It is very nice with a few scratches and a small crack in the plastic fairing as has been pictured. The inside of the gas tank is in like new condition with its original red coating. Everything works as it should, the tires are over 10 years old and believed to date back to 2005 but have very little wear. It could use new mufflers and front shocks are a little stiff. Needs a good cleaning and detailing. The bike was first titled in the USA in April 2013 under my name and I am the second owner. I have owned it for about 3 years and only rode it about 230 kilometers since August 2013. Very original and nice motorcycle for the serious collector looking for originality and low miles. Original factory paint and pinstriping. Missing the tool box and tool kit. It comes with its original German issue owners manual which is somewhat weathered from humidity but pages are readable. Any questions please contact George at (305) 562-0526. Please ask questions prior to bidding or if you want to schedule to look at it. May consider a buy it now if prior to reaching the reserve price.2016-06-20 04:57:46Miami, Florida, United States1030000 -

What’s The Deal With KTM Camshafts?
Fri, 18 Oct 2024Motorcycle.com digs for the truth behind the 790 camshaft hullabaloo Photo by Sebas Romero The internet can be a cruel place sometimes. Keyboard warriors, safe behind the anonymity of their computer screens, can spew words without much thought about the facts or the far reaches of where their words could be seen or heard. What’s worse, seemingly innocent or off-the-cuff remarks can be picked up by a third party and spread like wildfire.

2025 Honda NT1100 Updated for Europe, but Still Not Coming Here
Fri, 04 Oct 2024More than 12,000 sold since 2022, but 0 in North America Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Honda has updated one of its most popular models in Europe, but it’s still not coming to North America. We’ve heard that refrain a lot over the years, and it’s no different for the NT1100 sport-tourer. Introduced in Europe in 2022, the NT1100 is a sport-touring model that shares much of its bones with the CRF1100L Africa Twin.
2025 Husqvarna Vitpilen 801 – First Look
Wed, 02 Oct 2024The Svartpilen 801 has a new roadster-styled sibling, as Husqvarna announces the new “White Arrow” Vitpilen 801. Like the Black Arrow, the Vitpilen adopts the 799cc LC8c Parallel-Twin of the KTM 790 Duke, offering yet a new option to the shared platform. Ryan Adams recently reviewed the Svartpilen 801 and found it a “worthy contender in the market that brings its own unique style alongside proven performance.” That theme continues with the new Vitpilen, which brings its own take, with more aggressive ergonomics and a bright splash of color in yellow (a silver color is also available if you prefer something less flashy).

Harley's DEI Climbdown Isn't the Woke-ism Defeat You Think it Is
Wed, 21 Aug 2024You may have seen this week that Harley-Davidson has decided to shelve its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Ostensibly, this action came as a result of criticism the company received from right-wing activists - certainly that's the way it's being reported in most media outlets. The thing is, I'm pretty sure that's incorrect.
