BMW R-Series description

1983 R100 RS Cafe
Custom Rear Subframe, Custom Works performance shocks. Dellorto PHM38 carbs from an R90s. Rear sets. LED tail light and turn signals. CNC'd upper triple clamp, steel lower fork brace.  New clutch, brake lines, brake pads, throttle cables, clutch cable, fuel valves, seals, rubber, grips etc etc. I purchased the bike stock with the vision to build a clean, fun and functional cafe racer.

It is very clean I have ridden it only 685 miles since restoring it. It was finished in August 16'. The bike was completely disassembled. The frame, tank, wheels and other parts were repainted. I get compliments everywhere I ride. When I purchased the bike it was very clean the odometer read just over 7100 miles but the owner was unsure if it was correct because he purchased it from an estate sale. So the actual miles are unknown. The bike starts, runs, shifts, stops and handles great. Its an 83' so it has dual front Brembo calipers, single rear disc and electronic ignition.

The wheels are converted to tubeless and the tires are conti classic attack radial. The seat is foam covered in super nice leather. I rode about 250 miles on a Sunday a few weeks ago and it is plenty comfortable.

I took the first picture just before my first ride after restoring. The others were taken on 11/18

I have two young children and another one on the way, so no motorcycles for me for awhile!

It is very clean but not new please look at the pictures to see the condition.

please message me with any questions.

This bike is fun, plenty fast, and gets a lot of looks. I absolutely love it and will hate to see it go

Bridgestone BT-023 tyre tested

Fri, 19 Mar 2010

Replacing the BT-021, the 023 has a uniform carcass construction but has two different compounds of rubber to alter its performance. The inner rubber is harder for increased life while the rubber on the tyre’s edges is softer for outright grip. On the brief dry sections of our ride the 023 seemed to get up to working temperature rapidly and delivered good dry grip, certainly more than enough for most road riders if you are honest about your riding ability.

2015 BMW K1300S Motorsport Announced

Fri, 04 Jul 2014

BMW announced a new special edition version of the K1300S equipped with some upgraded parts and a unique paint job. The 2015 BMW K1300S Motorsport comes with a new Black Storm Metallic, Light White and Lupine Blue Metallic color scheme, with a bit of red striping for good measure. A band of black running across the top of the bike from nose to tank to tail is complemented by a tinted windscreen.

Tested: Metzeler Sportec M5 Interact

Mon, 15 Mar 2010

With its clever Interact technology Metzeler has created a tyre that has a varying carcass construction to alter how the rubber performs. Without going too deeply the M5 consists of five bands of belting that vary in stiffness. At the outer edges of the tyre the carcass is quite flexible, allowing the rubber to move around and generate more heat and therefore grip, while nearer the tyre’s centre the carcass is stiffer, reducing the rubber’s movement and decreasing its wear.
