BMW R-Series description

You are bidding on one 1983 BMW R100RT running project bike with only 10,298 miles. I got this bike from a friend of mine who had purchased it from an elderly gentleman. The bike did not come with a title, so I purchased a separate frame (the frame is a 1981 model RT-VIN 6232665) with clear title in order to rebuild the bike onto the titled frame. The engine started right up, and sounded smooth. The bike needs complete restoration: the brakes are not functional, and the front forks are slightly rusty. The gas tank is in good condition, but needs petcocks and a gas cap. As you can see from the pictures, the tank does not match the paint of the rest of the bike. The stock seat has been replaced with a Corbin seat, but the stock seat is included in the sale. I eliminated the emissions system, and plugged off the ports with an emissions kit from Bob's BMW. All the airbox parts and starter cover are included with the sale. The bike is being sold at no reserve to the highest bidder, AS-IS, with no warranties expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for arrangement and costs of shipping. I will assist your shipper with getting the bike loaded for transport. You are also welcome to pick up the bike yourself, and I will be happy to arrange a time to meet. That being said, I believe this will make a great project for someone who has the capability and time to put it all together. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!

2014 BMW R1200RT Officially Recalled in US

Thu, 03 Jul 2014

BMW has officially recalled the 2014 R1200RT in the U.S., after the company released a worldwide warning to customers about a potential defect with the rear suspension system. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the piston rod on the R1200RT’s Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment (ESA) rear shock absorber may break without warning. The problem was first discovered April 1 after a warranty claim was filed in France.

Thumbs up for a chilly N.E.C.

Wed, 08 Dec 2010

Apart from the freaky weather I have to say last week’s Carole Nash Motorcycle Live N.E.C. show was the best Birmingham event I've attended in the ten years. I really appreciate the fact that manufacturers chose to ignore the recession giving us great stands to cater for every enthusiast young and old.  Aprilia made a welcome return and I don’t know anyone that didn’t enjoy admiring the WSB RSV4, surely the the most gorgeous bike on the planet? The Honda stand rarely disappoints and this year was no exception with banking bikes providing fun for all the family.

2013 BMW R1200GS Telelever Problem Explained in Transport Canada Recall

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Earlier this week, we wrote about reports in the Italian media of a delay on deliveries of the 2013 BMW R1200GS because of an issue with the suspension. Transport Canada has now issued a recall notice on BMW‘s new GS – the third to come from the Canadian government agency – that would explain the delay. According to Transport Canada, the threaded plugs securing the fork tubes to the upper triple clamp may come loose over time on some units.
