BMW Other description

1950 BMW Other , This is a fully and 100% restored 1950 R 51/2 BMW with title. Currently in my garage in Athens, Greece where I finished restoration a few months ago. All original German parts - matching numbers engine and body, engine and all mechanical parts 100% restored. (The write stripe on the front fender has been corrected. It is now at the edge of the fender). This is a brand new motorcycle. Immaculate. A collector's item. Bike will be shipped over to US upon commitment from buyer. Some History: bike was bought from a gentleman in San Diego in 1998. Looks like it was owned by gangs in the 50's and 60's due to emblems and cut exhaust pipes (have some pictures). The first few years 1998-2008 I did research and collected few missing parts from around the world. Actual restoration took place from 2009-2013 with the assistance of an experience and known restorer in Athens Greece. Completely restored inside out by the book. $23,000.00

New: BMW System 6 Evo helmet

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

BMW has released the new System 6 Evo flip-front helmet.  It retains the clean lines of the System 6, while increasing levels of comfort and practicality with a more scratch-resistant internal sun visor, a more robust visor mechanism designed to make operation with gloved hands easier, improved ventilation control on the chin, and a revised spoiler for better aerodynamics. BMW says it has a unique chin bar pivot which reduces the size of the helmet when the chin bar is upright. Weighing in at 1.57kg, the ECE 22-05 homologated Evo is a quiet lid, with noise levels registering at 84-86 dBA at 62 mph. The helmet comes ready for installation of the BMW Communication system, offering a Bluetooth connection to the BMW Navigator IV sat-nav, music players, mobile phones and other BMW helmets.
