BMW R-Series description

Vintage BMW classic "toaster tank" R60/5 motorcycle for sale.  This is a second owner bike, I purchased this from the son of the original owner who purchased it new in 1973.  The bike is in excellent shape, clean, in unrestored original condition.  I had the cylinders off, valves replaced, and adjusted.  Runs smooth.  Carbs were rebuilt, but still drip some gas out of the overflow.  Speedometer is not operative, so mileage is not accurate, but I probably only put a couple thousand on it since I acquired it.  I registered this motorcycle a couple years ago, but I have let it expire. Even includes the original tire hand pump and tools BMW supplied with the bike when purchased.

Local pickup only.  I can assist in delivery.

FIM to Revise WSBK Homologation Requirements

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

The International Motorcycling Federation is considering modifying its homologation requirements for the World Superbike Championship following Bimota‘s somewhat surprising plans to re-enter the series. Under current regulations, manufacturers must produce a minimum number of motorcycles for it to be eligible to compete in the production-based WSBK championship. The official regulations currently require a minimum of 125 units produced for an initial homologation inspection, 500 units produced by June 30 of the current year, 1,000 units by the end of the current year and 2,000 units by the end of the following year.

Charley Boorman’s BMW R1200 GS Adventure Stolen – and Recovered

Fri, 27 Apr 2012

Adventure touring documentary star Charley Boorman and his BMW R1200GS Adventure have traveled a long way together, but the motorcycle had a bit of an adventure on its own after thieves stole the bike. The stolen BMW wasn’t the one Boorman rode with Ewen McGregor in “Long Way Round” (that was a R1150GS Adventure) or the one used in the sequel “Long Way Down“. Boorman did ride it on his last project, “Charley Boorman’s Extreme Frontiers: Canada”.
