Yesterday’s Last Edition got a tremendous amount of attention, so I figured I’d share another one with you (this one’s cheaper but has a lot more miles), courtesy of reader Jim R. This unit has 74,805 miles on the odometer, but has several upgrades like new crash bars, a Brown side stand, 450W charging system, Hella driving lights, panniers, San …
Heavily Modified – 2007 BMW F800S
The BMW F800S was a very brief member of the BMW Motorrad lineup in the United States. Only sold from 2006-2007, the F800S had a short run (though the ST continues on today as the F800GT). An upright parallel-twin developed by Rotax provided around 85 horsepower and earlier than expected torque, but the 360-degree firing order of the cylinders made …
5,440 Miles – 1984 BMW R100CS Last Edition
Post Listing Update: This CS was pulled off of eBay, final sale price unknown. Here’s a bike that pissed off a few BMW enthusiasts back in day – the BMW R100CS Last Edition. You should probably be asking why it pissed riders off. It wasn’t the bike itself, it’s how BMW decided to market it.
Granada Red – 1963 BMW R60/2
Here’s a ‘completely rebuilt’ example of the BMW R60/2 that the seller claims is basically a brand new machine. Additions to the stock bike include Hella bar end turn signals, chrome headlight mirrors, protection around the headlight and tailight, as well as engine crash bars. Find this ‘brand new’ R60 for sale in Pratt, Kansas with bidding up to $11,063 …
Desert Storm Vet – 1978 Hercules K125 Military
This Hercules 125 spent some time in Operation Desert Storm as a NATO bike, but now it has just 1,750 miles and is being offered with a warranty.
Red Hot Chili Customs – BMW R100RS
Based out of Szczecin, Poland, Red Hot Chili Customs has put together an interesting scrambler based on the BMW R100RS. All kinds of parts have come together to form this, including the tank from a Honda CB400, brake calipers from a Honda Africa Twin, Edelweiss Hot Cam, Motogadget speedo, and plenty more. Find this R100RS custom for sale in Szczecin, …
Toaster Tank – 1973 BMW R75/5
Here’s a low mileage (19k) example of the BMW R75/5 which looks great in original Granada Red paint. It’s being offered by the third owner, who refreshed by the bike in early 2014. The refresher avoided any cosmetics – instead the bike got new tires, suspension, ignition, cables, handlebars, and seals. All work was done by Bombars Beemers, and this …
2006 BMW R1150GSA Special Edition
For the last year of production, BMW released just 350 Special Editions of the venerable R1150GSA. Of those, only 177 were imported to the US. This example has some excellent upgrades to complement what is my favorite paint scheme BMW offered on this series of the GS.
2008 BMW HP2 Sport
Post-Listing Update: After being relisted, this HP2 Sport did not meet reserve at $14,097. 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 …
Smoke Silver – 1974 BMW R90S
Post Sale Update: This R90S sold for $11,500 after 15 bids on eBay. I adore the BMW R90S, which was a game-changer when it was released to the world. With oversight from Hans Muth, this bike was built to show the world that BMW could make more than just touring bikes for old guys. Reg Pridmore helped soldify that claim …
1984 BMW R80/100ST with DMC Sidecar
Here’s a nifty sidecar rig with a BMW R80/100ST and a DMC M72D Sidecar. The R80 has a slash because a previous owner threw a Nikasil 1000cc kit in it. The bike also has a Paris-Dakar tank, seat, and rack in addition to an upgraded alternator. The rig has just 100 miles on a new top end, with over 64,000 …
1992 BMW K100RS
This is a final-year example of BMW’s K100, a bike that was incredibly important in BMW’s history. Originally developed because the German firm felt their usual boxer engine would struggle to meet new emissions standards (they even stopped building the R100 for a short period of time), this bike was the result of a $110 million gamble to build a …
Pranafa Playboy Mini-Scooter
This bike contains one of my least favorite phrases – “ran when parked”. Despite that, it’s too cool not to feature. Originally imported to the US by Hap Alzina, the west coast BSA dealer, the Pranafa Playboy was a mini-scooter built by Dr. Seiffert in Frankfurt, Germany. The intent was something to have something you could take to work but …
1995 MZ Skorpion Sport
The MZ Skorpion was the result of an international partnership between a British design firm, an East German manufacturer (MZ), and Yamaha. Weighing just 380 pounds and packing 48 horsepower, this is a rare sportbike that has become quite the cult classic.
1955 Horex Resident
Here’s a “gorgeously restored example” of the Horex Resident, which was produced for just two years as the successor to the Regina. This bike is powered by a 350cc four stroke single with twin port exhaust that produces 24 horsepower. Find this Horex Resident for sale here on Brad’s Bikes (scroll to the bottom) for $6,500.
