I don’t much care for yellow motorcycles, but I do like the R65LS. This bike is claimed to have been completely rebuilt and comes with a rare extra chin fairing. It has 21,770 miles and comes with the OEM luggage, though they have some slight cracking. Assuming you’re OK with the repaint, find this R65LS for sale in Tucson, Arizona …
Orange or Black – Your Choice of BMW R90S’
Which would you choose?
1983 BMW R80ST
Edit: Sorry, seems like this bike is already been taken off eBay. The street based brother of the R80G/S, the BMW R80ST did not sell particularly well – only 5,963 were built over two years. But it’s become a bit of a cult classic, and plenty of owners feel that this was the best handling motorcycle BMW had made up …
Needs Some Work – 1962 NSU Supermax 250
After World War II, NSU found themselves with factories that had been destroyed. But they were able to persevere and in 1952 they released the Max, one of the most popular quarter-liter bikes of the 50s – 97,120 bikes were sold. Fast forward four years and NSU introduced the Supermax, which featured a 18 horsepower single good for a top …
In Italy – 1928 BMW R52
Post Sale Update: This R52 sold for $31,600 after 45 bids on eBay. Designed to be a tourer, the BMW R52 featured a 486cc boxer twin that generated 12 horsepower. The three-speed transmission had just been redesigned for this model, during a time frame when BMW was constantly making changes. Due to this, BMW switched to pressed-steel frames by the …
665 Miles – 2000 BMW R1100S
Post-Listing Update: This R1100S was pulled off eBay, final sale price unknown. For a while, I thought the BMW R1100S was the prettiest bike to come out of Munich for a long, long time. I actually had the pleasure of owning one for a few years, and I thought it was a wonderful, well-balanced road bike. Now’s your chance to …
Worth Motorcycles Build – 1976 BMW R60/6 Cafe Racer
Post-Listing Update: This bike got up to $7,877 before being relisted and then pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. It’s almost like I planned it, but the timing is just pure coincidence. Just a day after I featured Jeremy Malman of Worth Motorcycles in an interview, I see that one of their builds is available on eBay for …
2009 BMW HP2 Sport
The BMW HP2 Sport is one of the rarest bikes from the last few decades of BMW motorcycles. It certain ways, it was a tough sell. Loosely based on the R1200S, this was a very pricey and exclusive sportbike that put down less power than its competitors but handled like a dream.
Original Owner – 1975 BMW R90/6
Here’s a BMW R90/6 that’s been prepped for touring duty with a Luftmeister fairing, Krauser bags, and an extra 2-up seat. Despite the fact that it’s setup to cover all kinds of mileage, this one owner bike has just 20,257 miles over 40 years of life. Two years ago the bike was completely gone through – work included a carb …
Two Simson Scoots
A seller in Michigan is offering two very rare Simson scooters, so I figured I’d combine them into one post.
1963 BMW R69S
BMW has been producing motorcycles since 1923 – as they approach their 100th year of motorcycles under their own name, certain models have stood the test of time – like the R80GS, the R71, and of course, the R69S.
Nate Kern’s Personal Bike – 2013 BMW HP4
The personal bike of BMW factory rider (and S1000RR ambassador) Nate Kern, this HP4 is #655 and has just 3,300 miles. Normally I get to list all kinds of accessories and farkles that have been added to a bike, but this sale includes one free trackday at Roebling Road.
1958 BMW R69
Reader Bill K sent over this interesting R69, plus he added some great points that I’m going to include later on.
1 of 5 – Target Design MV Agusta 750S
Target Design was formed back in 1979 after 3 ex-BMW stylists (including the legendary Hans Muth) decided to split off and try things on their own. They almost immediately made a name for themselves by winning a competition from German magazine Motorrad about what motorcycles would look like in the future. Their winning design (called the ED-1, ED stood for …
2004 BMW Rockster R1150R
The BMW Rockster was an interesting variant on their naked bike of the time, the R1150R. The Rockster was BMW’s take on a streetfighter of sorts, made by pulling together the headlight from a R1150GS, gauges from the R1100S, and throwing them onto the R1150R with a distinctive paint job.
