    1981 BMW R100 RT, ALL ORIGINAL SURVIVOR MOTORCYCLE, 25,667 ORIGINAL MILES, GREEN SMOKE METALLIC, RUNS AND RIDES AS NEW  1984 BMW R100 RT, ALL ORIGINAL SURVIVOR MOTORCYCLE, 25,667 ORIGINAL MILES, GREEN SMOKE METALLIC, RUNS AND RIDES AS NEW   Frame Number: 6240400 Engine Number: 6240400   In the 1980’s, with the touring craze in full swing, the BMW Motorcycle Company turned out some of the most advanced and dependable road bikes of all time.   The condition of this machine is completely original.  Everything from the frame to the motor to the fenders is exactly the way it came from the factory.     I believe I am the third owner from new, but can’t be positive.  This machine has been a part of my collection for a long time and is ridden.  The bike is stored in a temperature controlled environment throughout the entire year.  When I purchased this particular machine, it was in the condition you see in the photos, but had not run in some time, since the owner was up in age and not able to ride anymore.  I went through the entire machine and got everything working.  All of the major engine, transmission, and braking components are operational.  The tires are in good condition and are not in need of replacement.  The brakes have also been completely rebuilt, front and rear.  The engine and transmission are original and are in perfect running condition.  The bike starts very easily.  A brand new battery was also just installed.      The paint is original and in very nice condition, considering the age of the machine.  The seat pan is original, but as you can see from the photos, has the king and queen cover on it.  The cover is in beautiful condition, but if you do decide to re-foam and cover it, shouldn’t be too difficult.

    This is a very special bike to me and the world, but I am starting a business so I am offering it to the highest bidder. I found this bike online 5-6 years ago, flew to Anchorage Alaska and bought it from the original owner who had it in his barn since 1984.   He is ready to take your call and tell you the stories.

What’s The Deal With KTM Camshafts?

Fri, 18 Oct 2024

Motorcycle.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 2024

More 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 2024

The 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).

2024 GS Trophy – Preparing to Welcome the Regions

Fri, 13 Sep 2024

Welcome to basecamp   BMW saw it fit to invite the world’s media to Namibia ahead of the competitors to get setup, settled, and vetted. As I looked out the window while our plane descended toward Windhoek, I couldn’t help but to notice the similarity in terrain to the American west. In the shuttle toward camp, the sentiment was the same as we made our way north.

Harley's DEI Climbdown Isn't the Woke-ism Defeat You Think it Is

Wed, 21 Aug 2024

You 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.
