BMW R-Series description

Selling 1978 BMW R100rs. I bought in 2008 and it came with the original fairing, which I had removed as I prefer the naked look better. I got it at 50K miles and now it has about 60,300 miles.

The bike runs great and never let me down. I am selling it because I don’t get to use it enough. It comes with two original saddle bags (the lock of one of them is broken), original paint (not the tank, which I replaced), ohlins rear shocks and much more.

Over these eight years I wanted to bring it back to its old glory and have several improvement/maintenance jobs done at Motorcycle Works shop in Brooklyn, where it was extremely well taken care of. This below is a brief list of what has been done in the last 6K miles; I can provide complete service history:

New Yuasa battery

New clutch

Restored speedometer

New headlight

New brakes pads

Rebuilt carburetors

Rebuilt engine (new valves, reconditioned cylinder heads and barrels, etc)

New timing chain

All new wires

Replaced all forkseals

Lastly, before putting it on the market I had a tune up and the annual NYS inspection done (valid until end of July 2017). All fluids are new, tank clean, valves tuned, carburetors checked, new fuel and oil filters, etc.

Feel free to ask any question.

The buyer is responsible for vehicle pickup or shipping.

Thank you for watching

2014 BMW F800GS Adventure Announced

Thu, 02 May 2013

BMW has announced a new Adventure version of the F800GS, providing a more off-road-oriented version of the middleweight dual-sport. BMW has offered an Adventure version of the R1200GS for a while now but this is the first time BMW has done the same for one of its smaller GS models. Like the base F800GS, the Adventure version is powered by a liquid-cooled 798cc four-valve parallel-twin engine.

BMW GS Rider Rescues Cow Calf From Canal [Video]

Wed, 26 Oct 2011

As a motorcyclist I’ve made it my duty to stop and lend assistance any time I see a fellow rider that looks like they’re in need, a sort of paying it forward mentality for the many times I found myself in need of a hand. In most instances the rider stopped on the road’s edge had pulled to the side temporarily to resolve an innocuous issue, but occasionally a rider genuinely needed my help. In either case the riders were grateful that a fellow motorcyclist was checking up on them.
