BMW Other description

1983 BMW R Series RT, 1983 BMW R80 RT Pacific Blue with approximate mileage 100,000. The odometer stopped working but the speedometer works fine. The bike runs great and is extremely dependable. I have owned it since 2001 and have logged many miles on it commuting to work. It has never once left me stranded. The rear tire is new and the new matching front tire is ready to be mounted. They are a matched set of Kenda Challengers. This is the second set of Kenda's on this bike. They handle as well as Metzler's but they out last them by at least 50% and they have a higher load rating than the Metzler's. They also out lasted my Bridgestone's and my Dunlop's and my Shinko's. I also have a new dashboard and a new set of the old style "peanut" valve covers and a new spare clutch cable for it as well as one used spare saddlebag (left side) and the original BMW expandable tank bag and tank cover. The bike has an Odyssey PC925 battery, a lift up rear rack, a Corbin seat with a two position removable back rest and I have the original factory seat that is in very good shape. I think I may have a few new oil filter kits left too. I had progressive fork springs installed in 2002 and they still handle like new. The paint and pinstripes are original and well-worn but still decent. The front discs have always looked worn but they work well and do not grab. Phone 770-487-6723 (please no calls after 9PM) Cash only. I have a link with 17 photos I can send if interested. Thanks $2,400.00 7704876723

BMW Produces 500,000th GS Boxer

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

BMW‘s most important model reached an important milestone as the 500,000th boxer-engined GS rolled off the company’s production line in Berlin, Germany. The landmark liquid-cooled 2014 R1200GS follows a lineage half a million strong of flat-twin adventure tourers tracing back to the first R80G/S produced in 1980. “As a plant it is a privilege for us to continue building on the successful history of the legendary flat-twin GS,” says Marc Sielemann, head of the Berlin plant which produces the bulk of BMW’s motorcycles since 1969.

Charge Up you iPhone While You Ride

Fri, 12 Feb 2010

Motorcyclists can now enjoy total freedom on the open road confident in the knowledge that their cell phones, GPS, MP3 players and latest generation of iPhone/iTouch devices will remain fully-charged and in-service for the duration of the ride thanks to Powerlet’s plug and play systems. “Our product line was inspired by personal experience and the realization that there were no worthwhile options for clean, reliable on-board power for cell phones, stereos and GPS devices,” says Powerlet Products founder Adam Bonislawaski. “Before we came on to the scene, riders would bust out the black tape and wire strippers and cut into their bike’s fragile wiring to tie-in a cheap cigar lighter to power their devices.
