BMW R-Series description

Complete frame-up restoration by well-regarded Mid-West independent BMW tech ( a good friend of mine who originally planned to keep the bike for himself ) of my 1,000cc matching numbers '77 R100RS. This example is one of the approximately 200-only of first year production 40mm intake/exhaust ( "big pipe" ) 70 HP models ever imported into the US. As far as I know, future RS models reverted to a 38mm configuration producing less HP. Since I ride the bike regularly ( mileage now approximately 6,300 since restoration ), all maintenance is up-to-date and all "mechanicals" and "electricals" ( including the clock ! ) function properly. Avon Road Rider tires have seen only 2,000 miles. When not ridden, the bike is stored in my RV garage and kept on a battery tender through the installed BMW electrical socket. The bike's new owner will receive two sets of ignition keys ( one of which is a "folding" key ) / expandable BMW tank bag/correct Krauser panniers with two complete sets of keys which not only lock the bags to the frame but also lock the bags themselves/proper Riders Manual, Technical Data Manual and BMW shop manual. A Brown side stand has also been installed for more convenient ( perhaps safer too ) deployment. Center stand and BMW spring loaded side stand remain on the bike. Sorry, solo seat only! I will provide assistance with shipping. Please contact me with specific questions but SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. Do not waste my time or yours. $500.00 non-refundable deposit due upon acceptance of offer. Balance due within five days. Contact me directly for payment methods and buyer approval at 928 642 5379.

BMW Standardizes Switches

Thu, 23 Oct 2008

Whenever you throw your leg over a bike that isn’t your own, there is always a few minutes needed to become familiar with the proportions and controls of the foreign machine. Getting a sense of the clutch release point, brake feel, throttle response and riding position may all differ from what you have been accustomed, but they slowly become second nature after enough seat time is logged. One such control that strays from this rule of thumb is the turn signal operation of many BMWs.
