BMW R-Series description

We are selling an all original, very hard to find 1969 BMW R60/5. The motorcycle is in great running and driving shape. The paint is sharp and bright and seems to be all original except for the rear fender.  The tank has one small shallow dent on the very top right corner (see picture). There is some normal wear and tear for the age. The engine starts and runs great, both kick and electric start fuction properly. All lights and gauges work great. The tires are new and the bike is ready for the road. Comes with a clean Utah title. We take Paypal.

We have recieved numerous emails about the year and vin number. From our research we have done production started in 1969 but not released until 1970. We believe that this motorcycle may be a pre-production or early release. The vin number is an elusive "phantom" number that BMW is know for back then. We do have a current title stating that it is a 1969 BMW R60/5 with matching vin numbers.

BMW Streamlines WSBK Program, Hands Reins to BMW Italia

Mon, 16 Jul 2012

BMW announced it realigning its World Superbike Championship program, with BMW Motorrad Italia taking over as the company’s factory team in 2013. The German manufacturer is currently represented by two teams in the WSBK championship, the BMW Motorrad with Marco Melandri and Leon Haslam and the BMW Motorrad Italia Goldbet team represented by Michel Fabrizio and Ayrton Badovini (there is also a privateer effort of Mark Aitchison riding a BMW S1000RR for the Grillini Progea team.) Next year however, BMW’s Milan-based Italian arm will be responsible for the factory team as well as chassis development and testing. BMW Motorrad itself will focus on developing the power train and electronics.

Despite the increase in sales revenue, BMW reported a much smaller profit from its motorcycle business, earning 9 million euros (US$11.6 million) in 2012, compared to 45 million euros in 2011.

Epic biking holidays - of a lifetime?

Mon, 31 Jan 2011

I never had the rudimentary gap year traveling before university, seeing it as a bit of a cliché I set upon knuckling down with my studies and getting a degree. I never had that moment of discovery and finding out 'who I really am' and to some extent it's a regret. But I'm feeling inspired and the inspiration comes from two adventures offered by Compass Expeditions.
