BMW R-Series description

I am selling this bike for a friend/neighbor who does not have an Ebay account.

This is a pristine 1962 R 50  BMW.  It has been owned by a BMW collector for over 20 years.  It has had only three owner over it's life and all were friends who lived in Arizona. The bike has only 24K miles, all local Arizona miles. 

The bike was resored about ten years ago by Iron Hourse BMW in Tucson, Arizona.  In the last 20 years it has only traveled about 1000 miles.  Recently the bike has received new Avon tires and stainless rims, new bearings and brakes, rebuilt Bing carbs, new Pagusa seats and the  tank was repainted and striped.  The bike was converted to 12 volts about one year ago.

I have personally ridden this bike and can state that it starts easily, and runs smooth and straight.   Everything works and there are no issues.One of the best R 50's around.

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.

Latest on my S1000RR

Mon, 04 Oct 2010

Not sure what's going on with the sound in this vid, but it calms down after a minute - sorry! As my long term BMW S1000RR does most of its miles working hard on track days, I felt an early 6000 mile service might be a good idea. A quick phone call to my local dealer (the friendly and efficient Pidcocks) saw my bike in the workshop the following week and back in my hands by lunchtime.
