BMW R-Series description
'75 R75/6 in excellent condition. S/N 4940796. I am second owner. First owner purchased it new and put a lot of miles on it.I ride it frequently. Currently about 97,800 miles on the clock. Engine re-build in 2006 at 85,000 miles by none other than Oak Okleshen (tech guy for the Airhead's Club) in Illinois. I have receipts. Recent seat replacement. New cables. Burns no oil. No oil leaks. Tires are excellent, new battery, new original paint color done professionally about three years ago. After-market windscreen I installed myself (struts weren't quite long enough, I epoxied them). Both stopcocks replaced several years ago. Shocks replaced several years ago. Both the tach and the clock have been checked and refurbished last year. This bike always serviced to the minute, stored in heated, enclosed garage, concrete floor. Anything this bike needed it got. I ride this bike back & forth to work all the time. It was checked over recently by the one guy at my local BMW dealer that works on these old bikes, pronounced AOK, no safety issues, no impending big repair or maintenance work. Dent in underside of rider's left muffler (see photo) was there when I bought the bike. I never noticed it till recently. Muffler intact. I never got around to replacing the muffler. I am getting older and I ride less, so time to thin the herd in my back garage. I have several other vintage bikes. |

The future. But we can't have it
Thu, 10 Nov 2011It's no secret that we motorcyclists are getting older. We're ageing because less people are passing their bike test each year (roughly 30,000 last year compared to 50,000 for the 10 years before the new two-part test) and so not only is the pool not growing it's not even being replenished and so the average age isn't being diluted down by yoof. When the going gets tough in any situation, you really get to see who's got their shit-sorted and who's light enough on their feet to adapt to change.

Will the road-going RCV look like this?
Thu, 25 Oct 2012Honda announced in a dry-as-you-like press release that a new bike was coming. Not another motorcycle-cum-medical aid like the DN-01 or Integra, this is going to be a proper bike. A bike in a similar vein to previous bikes in the RC series, the RC30, RC45 and RC51, aimed squarely at winning races. So what's it going to look like?
