BMW R-Series description

Vintage BMW classic "toaster tank" R60/5 motorcycle for sale.  This is a second owner bike, I purchased this from the son of the original owner who purchased it new in 1973.  The bike is in excellent shape, clean, in unrestored original condition.  I had the cylinders off, valves replaced, and adjusted.  Runs smooth.  Carbs were rebuilt, but still drip some gas out of the overflow.  Speedometer is not operative, so mileage is not accurate, but I probably only put a couple thousand on it since I acquired it.  I registered this motorcycle a couple years ago, but I have let it expire. Even includes the original tire hand pump and tools BMW supplied with the bike when purchased.

Local pickup only.  I can assist in delivery.

Adventure touring documentary star Charley Boorman and his BMW R1200GS Adventure have traveled a long way together, but the motorcycle had a bit of an adventure on its own after thieves stole the bike. The stolen BMW wasn’t the one Boorman rode with Ewen McGregor in “Long Way Round” (that was a R1150GS Adventure) or the one used in the sequel “Long Way Down“. Boorman did ride it on his last project, “Charley Boorman’s Extreme Frontiers: Canada”.

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.
