1981 BMW R80GS

In Dual-Sport, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

Hindsight has shown that the introduction of the GS model line was one of the best things BMW did for their Motorrad business. But at the press launch in 1980, journalists (and the public) shared a general sentiment of “what’s the point of a large, heavy dual-purpose bike?” Modern cynics still have the same complaint as the bike seems to …

Post Listing Update: This C1 did not meet reserve with 24 bids up to $6,124 on eBay.

In Dual-Sport, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

The HP2 Enduro was the perfect bike for riders who thought the R1200GS was capable but too heavy. Thanks to a trellis frame and conventional telescopic forks, the HP2 saved 53 pounds of weight from the standard GS. They’ve become cult classics and that means that asking prices can be hefty – here’s one that’s bidden ridden and enjoyed plenty …

In Canada – 2008 BMW HP2 Megamoto

In Germany, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

One of the rarest BMWs of modern times, the Megamoto was only sold in 2008. As this was BMW’s take on a large supermoto, the model name is just about perfect. Think of it as a street version of the HP2 Enduro. The US got 107 examples, and if you believe the seller of this example, Canada only got…one. I …

2021 BMW M1000RR

In Germany, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

The M1000RR can be a little confusing – you’re paying about $15k more than the already-impressive S1000RR with the M Package but at first glance you’re not getting much more for your money. Well, that’s because it wasn’t really built for the public – it was specifically built to be the next platform for BMW’s race efforts. So there’s no …

1960 NSU Super Max

In Germany, Standard by AbhiLeave a Comment

Well Modified – 2006 BMW K1200S

In Germany, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

I’ll admit that when I first saw this bike, I didn’t click through the listing as I figured it had aftermarket bodywork after some sort of crash. But I’m glad I decided to look into it closer, as the owner of this bike since new is Jerry Finley, the owner of Pirate’s Lair, a K-bike parts specialty shop. Unfortunately, it …

2005 BMW R1100S Boxer Cup Replika

In Germany, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

The base model R11S was a wonderful all-around streetbike similar to the Honda VFR800. BMW went above and beyond with a couple of limited editions, including the Boxer Cup Replika as featured today. BMW created a spec series to race these bikes, and 300 examples were released as a homage.

1985 BMW K100RS

In Custom, Germany, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

BMW’s K100RS is a tried-and-true sport-tourer, though even when it was new no one was overwhelmed by the power. A previous owner of this example has rectified that with one of the 200 turbo kits that were produced by RB Racing on behalf of Luftmeister!

Original Owner – 2006 BMW HP2 Enduro

In Dual-Sport, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

The HP2 Enduro was the perfect bike for riders who thought the R1200GS was capable but too heavy. Thanks to a trellis frame and conventional telescopic forks, the HP2 saved 53 pounds of weight from the standard GS. They’re nearly 2 decades old, and here’s a rare one that’s only had one owner (though that’s about to change).

BMW Airhead Custom – “The RK1”

In Custom, Germany by AbhiLeave a Comment

This custom was built by Omar Sayied (the man behind MotoGhost) as his “dream BMW”, combining the classic aircooled boxer motor with a modern chassis. It uses parts from BMWs between 1970 and 2002, and the only non-BMW components are the handlebars and the Yoshimura exhaust. What do you think?
