BMW R-Series description

1974 BMW R90/6 with only 12,877 Original Miles !

I am listing this for a buddy in our Vintage Motorcycle Club.  

He has a couple other Vintage Bikes plus a Trike Project and needs to make room in his workshop. 


Great Bike - please take a close look.


Started with a Vetter Windjammer Faired, 900cc 5 Speed BMW Original Paint in White.  

Triple Matching Numbers – Frame, Motor and Neck Tag.


Vetter was removed and a period correct Wixom Fairing with Original Windscreen was sourced.  Wixom Fairing and Tour Pack were painted and striped to very closely match the Original BMW color. Fenders and Side Panels are still Original Paint. 


There are a couple scratches on the tank from taking the seat on/off – please see pics.


Drive Train is Stock with Original Carbs & Air Filter systems. 

Exhaust & Mufflers are in good shape. 

Tires are new with approx. 200 miles on them and Brakes are good.  


Starts & Runs well.  All Instruments, Lights and the Horn work as they should.  


I also own a 1974 R90/6 that I have ridden from Ohio to Daytona, Sturgis, Myrtle Beach, Blue Ridge, etc.  My R90 keeps up easily with “New Bikes” on the trips. 


I have personally ridden this White R90/6 and it performs as well as my bike does. 


Vetter Fairing and “All Day” Seat included in sale. 


Buyer agrees to $500.00 deposit through PayPal at conclusion of Auction and Balance to be paid by Wire Transfer to seller’s bank within 5 days of Auction close. Buyer may elect to pick up BMW @ seller location north of Cincinnati in Ohio, USA.  Buyer responsible for all shipping costs and related insurances.

Also being sold / offered locally. 


I will attempt to answer any questions you may have. 


Good Luck Bidding !

2013 BMW C600 Sport Fairing Recall Extended to US

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

Last week, Transport Canada issued a recall on the 2013 BMW C600 Sport due to a risk of the scooter’s side fairings coming loose at high speeds. The recall has now reached the U.S., with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also announcing a recall. According to documents released by NHTSA, the three “snap-lock” fasteners securing the left and right side trim panels may not have sufficient strength to hold the fairing in place at speeds higher than 100 mph.

EICMA 2013: 2014 BMW R1200RT Revealed

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

We confess, the BMW R1200RT was a glaring omission from our list of top 10 motorcycles to watch at EICMA. There are so many new bikes coming out at the 2013 EICMA show, it was hard enough to narrow it down to just 10, but that doesn’t excuse us forgetting BMW is adding another model powered by the new R1200GS‘ liquid-cooled boxer engine. Follow the rest of our 2013 EICMA show coverage The peak numbers for the R1200RT are the same as with the GS, with BMW claiming 125 hp at 7700 rpm and 92.2 ft-lb at 6500 rpm.
