This bike started as a R60/6 but it was given the heads, pistons, cylinders, crank, and camshaft from a R90S – the work was done by a former BMW dealership. Combined with a 33/11 final drive gearing, this bike is claimed to be very quick while still maintaining ‘classic BMW ride quality’. Even better? It’s got no reserve, so this …
Sleeper Rig – 2005 BMW R1200RT with Hannigan Sidecar
Named “Clifford”, (presumably after the big red dog?), this BMW R1200RT has been paired with a large Hannigan sidecar to become what could be your home away from home.
In England: Privateer Racer – 1981 BMW R80GS
Two things. One – expect to start seeing more bikes from outside of the US as I try to pay a bit more attention to my international readers. Two – this bike is AWESOME.
Restored – 1976 BMW R90S
View PostRestored by Seller – 1952 BMW R51/3
Built over four years, the R51/3 was introduced in 1951. It was one of the first bikes BMW released after they were allowed to start creating motorcycles post WWII, so they took one of their pre-war designs and evolved it to prevent having to start from scratch.
1993 BMW K75S
You seemed to enjoy the cheap BMW K100RS tourer I featured a few days ago, so let’s follow that up with another cheap flying brick.
Nice Price – 1974 BMW R90S
This is a ‘rider’, not a show bike, but I think the $7,500 price reflects that just fine. I haven’t seen a good-running example of the R90S for this cheap in a while, but can you get over the faults?
2005 BMW R1200ST
The BMW R1200ST was the short-lived successor to the R1100RS/R1150RS. Considered by some to be one of the best sport-touring bikes ever made, this bike was an absolute commercial failure in the US. I’d pin that on two factors: first, this bike overlapped too much with the RT and the GS. Second (and more importantly)…it’s hideous. Just 554 were sold …
Cheap Tourer – 1985 BMW K100RS
I’m always trying to find attainable bikes to complement some of the more insanely expensive finds, and I think this sub $3k BMW is perfect for those of you looking for a sport-tourer with some 80s style.
1976 BMW R90/6 Cafe Racer
This R90/6 has been turned into a cafe racer – and it’s claimed to be a ‘true zero footer’.
1994 MZ Saxon Country
6-4 Update: This MZ is back up for sale, find it with bidding up to $1,025 and the reserve not yet met here on eBay. Post-Listing Update: This Saxon Country did not meet reserve as bidding only got up to $1,285. I love featuring models that I’ve never seen before, and this incredibly rare MZ Saxon Country fits the bill, …
Naked Speed TV – 1974 BMW R90S Custom
If you’re a Bike-urious regular, you’re well-versed on what made the R90S so special. That’s also why I’m curious to hear if you love or hate this custom build by Boxer Metal.
Giant Tank – 1970 BMW R75/5
I think the 10.5 gallon Heinrich fuel tank ruins the lines of this bike, but it’s hard to argue with the range capabilities of this restored BMW R75/5.
1975 Hercules Wankel 2000
View Post1991 BMW K75S Custom
I’m a big fan of the K75, especially as a platform for custom bikes. My current favorite would have to be the Renard Speed Shop build, which made me instantly regret selling my K75C as soon as I first saw it. Here’s another custom that I’m on the fence about…what do you think?
