BMW R-Series description

How about a completely original BMW for Christmas ?
Hi and thank you for checking out this listing. Please send questions  and I will try to answer as quickly as possible.
I am selling my 1973 airhead toaster. The only reason I am willing to part with this beautiful machine is , because I just bought a R90s .
The bike is in original condition .It is not restored . This is the real thing.  Never been painted or laid down. It has matching numbers . Except for a few scratches its in perfect condition. The green metallic paint stands out and it makes this bike like a time capsule. Its like your right back in the 70s. I get a lot of compliments on the bike from people that know bikes , but I get a lot of compliments also from people , who see this bike just like the sign of the time it really is. The toaster tanks and the long wheel base make this a unmissable 70s airhead.
The pin stripes are in perfect condition. Frame and chrome is perfect. The seat is like new and lets you ride  for hours without getting tired.
Mechanically is where this bike really shines. It is strong and smooth. Reliable and never let me down. It does not smoke or drip oil. You have optional electric or kick starter .I just replaced the steering lock and added a trickle charger. I have the original tool roll and the original BMW mechanics rag with the bike. Also the air pump works and is included.. The tires are almost brand new and the battery is a month old.I am not sure if there are many more toasters in this good and this original condition out there. Too many are getting butchered and chopped up in the Cafe Racer craze. 
This is a true survivor and as good as they come.To the best of my knowledge the mileage as listed is true. I am the third owner and its always been a California bike. There is zero rust on this bike.
The only things that this bike could use if you wanted to make it 100% again is a repair to the tachometer. It stopped  working a long time ago. The speedometer and odometer are working flawlessly. 
I set a fair reserve looking at the other bike being offered. If you are looking for a cheep airhead , this is not it. If you are looking for a all original survivor , you have found it. 
Good luck bidding.

Naked BMW S1000RR Spotted Testing in Italy – Video

Wed, 29 May 2013

Italian site Motociclismo.it has published a video of what appears to be a naked version of the BMW S1000RR being tested on public roads in Rovereto, Italy. The test model was dressed in camouflage and appears to be close to being ready for production, especially compared to the earlier prototype spotted testing last summer. We expect BMW will officially unveil this S1000RR-based streetfighter at either the Intermot show in Cologne, Germany, or the EICMA show in Milan, Italy, later this fall.

Video: Corvette Stingray Take on All Corners of the Globe at Willow Springs

Wed, 09 Oct 2013

The folks at Edmunds took the 2014 Corvette Stingray and put it to the test at Willow Springs International Raceway versus its usual competitors: the SRT Viper , Nissan GT-R , Porsche 911 , Porsche Cayman S , Ford Shelby GT500 and the BMW M3 . It looks like the "Stingray vs. The World" title suits the video well, given there is one car from Japan, a few from Europe and another one from the U.S.
