BMW R-Series description
I'm a vintage BMW enthusiast and restored this bike in 2014. I tried to return the bike to as close to factory condition as possible. Original hardware, clamps, etc. were used everywhere possible. Original parts were cadmium plated, chrome plated, or polished to original condition. I have pictures of the restoration and a folder full of receipts to go to the buyer. The process took about 6 months and almost $8000. It is a short wheel base model. The bike has 223km (140mi) on it since restoration. It starts and runs perfectly. Ready for you to ride and enjoy or take to shows. Some of the things that were done include: Frame, subframe, swingarm, centerstand etc. stripped and powder coated satin black Tapered steering head bearings Forks rebuilt with new seals and oil New Hagon shocks Wheels relaced with chrome "clover-leaf" spokes and nipples New Avon tires, tubes and rim strips New brake shoes New exhaust system Low "sport" handlebar New chrome side panels Rechromed tank panels, fender brace, and grab handle Original hardware stripped and cadmium plated Bosch H4 headlight upgrade for better lighting 1st over pistons Cylinder heads rebuilt by Cycleworks New top end gaskets and seals New rear main seal and transmission input seal New clutch Carbs ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt New petcocks and cloth covered fuel lines New seat New Motometer speedo and tach (in kilometers per hour) New grips, peg rubbers, and other rubber bits New cables as needed New sealed battery Bumm headlight mount mirrors Tank and fenders professionally painted Hand pinstriping Original toolkit, new air pump Original owner's manual Clean Kansas title Here is a video on youtube showing a cold start: https://youtu.be/dUHzuHH2sak If you have questions about the motorcycle, or would like to arrange a showing, you can contact me by phone at 913-486-9405.

Billed as the GS riders’ Olympics, the biennial competition pits teams representing different countries against one another in a number of challenges testing their riding skills. Previous competitions had competitors riding the F800GS but for 2014, the GS Trophy will switch to the liquid-cooled R1200GS.
AMA Pro Racing Announces Basic Twins Flat Track Class for 2014 Season
Fri, 12 Apr 2013AMA Pro Racing announced a new class for Flat Track racing designed to provide a new stepping stone for up-and-coming Pro-licensed racers, replacing the Pro Singles class in 2014. The new class, to be called Basic Twins, is more or less a revival of the Basic Expert Twins division that ran during the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but dropped when the Pro Singles class was introduced for 2009. The new class will give young racers a chance to showcase their skills on Twins, easing their transition to eventually enter the Grand National Expert Twins class.
I would not, could not, ride a BMW C1
Tue, 29 Jun 2010As the chair of this session I will start. On my walk to work this morning I got beeped at by BMW's C1 scooter whilst crossing the road. This, my most detested mockery of two-wheeled transport, beeped at me for no reason whatsoever but what angered me more was the pitiful horn the BMW has, it was a roadrunner like ‘meep’.
