BMW R-Series description

I have here a 1969 BMW R69US that has been converted to an early R75/5 engine, transmission and controls.
750cc reliable engine, 5 speed transmission, early R75/5 headlight bucket and handlebars controls. Bike has under 2,000 miles since conversion. The speedometer and odometer both work great, but the mileage shown on the speedo 67,xxx is not accurate to the wear and tare of the motorcycle
Many upgrades, 12v battery conversion, has both kick start and electric start, wixom bags.
Runs perfect and needs nothing. It is ready for a side-car should you decide to add on (just bolts on).Very expensive bike to build but well worth it as you get the vintage look of a /2 and the reliability of the /5 engine and transmission.

This year, it was completely gone through to make sure everything was in order for 600mile trip that i just took. I have many receipts from a reputable shop in Chicago that shows the work done. This is a turn key bike thats ready to go and enjoyed for many years to come. Cosmetically not a show bike but a looker as i use it as a rider in the city and on weekend out of town trips.

I have more pictures and a video showing the bike running nicely, can email per request

I also have the contact information of the person that did the work on the motorcycle for any technical questions you may have

Gold Rush

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Spotted at this year's Motorcycle Live. The 'net is awash with gold-wrapped and horrendously painted supercars, often sporting Middle-Eastern numberplates but this S1000RR isn't an Arab creation. Nope, it's a one-off paintjob by BMW for the 2012 Olympics, where BMW supplied cars and bikes to ferry around VIPs.

Is there anything you CAN'T do on an S1000RR?

Mon, 08 Mar 2010

WE'VE SEEN videos of BMW's stunning new S1000RR pulling wheelies, stunting, sliding, racing a 700bhp Corvette, featured in a music video - we've even had a look inside the engine and now the company are using the 190bhp superbike as part of a new-style drag act - but not the Danny La Rue type. Real or not, the clip makes for amusing viewing.  Have a look.

WSBK 2013: Laguna Seca Race Report

Mon, 30 Sep 2013

Tom Sykes and Eugene Laverty each came away with a victory as the World Superbike Championship made its return to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The first race featured two red flags, ironically caused by AMA Superbike regulars Danny Eslick and Roger Hayden, the two men with the most recent experience at the famed track. The second race was a much cleaner affair, with a dramatic finish, setting up the final two rounds of the championship.
