BMW R-Series description

Beautiful and very rare 1986 BMW R80G/S in 99% original condition (it can be returned to original condition easily.) The side-stand and LED tail lights are the only modifications from stock that I am aware of.

Under 20,000 miles. Not abused and showing no signs of ever being wrecked. Comes with original tool kit, air pump, tool tray, and BMW panniers. Panniers are in usable, fair, condition (there are repaired cracks in the plastic - very common with these panniers.) I do not have the owner's manual.

Mechanically it is in excellent condition. It starts easily, runs, drives, shifts and brakes as an R80G/S should. It is a pleasure to ride.

I bought this R80G/S intending to keep it forever but I am moving in a few months and space will be very tight. I have set a reasonable reserve that is below the price of recent sales for comparable motorcycles. If it does not meet the reserve I will keep it.

The new owner can choose to keep it in original condition or restore it to showroom condition.

I prefer to sell it to someone who can see it in person first, if at all possible. If you can't view it in person please keep in mind that photos tend to hide minor cosmetic imperfections. This G/S is very presentable but does not look like new. The overall condition and patina are appropriate for a motorcycle of this vintage.

$500 deposit due within 48 hours of the auction ending, payable by Paypal. The remaining balance must be paid before the motorcycle is picked up. If the balance is paid by check, it must clear the bank first. The motorcycle can be picked up in Seattle, Washington. Buyer to make arrangements for delivery and I will provide assistance.

MINI Scooter E Concept Revealed

Thu, 23 Sep 2010

MINI has just officially revealed not one, but two of its MINI Scooter E Concepts that will officially debut at the Paris Auto Show next week. Created to bring together a youth-oriented lifestyle element and sustainable mobility, the scooters take significant design cues from the MINI lineup of cars while using a lithium-ion battery pack to deliver guilt-free mobility. Making the MINI E Scooter Concept almost excessively hip is its smartphone integration, where the owner’s iPod or similar device acts as the actual key for the scooter, clicking into a central docking station between the handlebars.

FIM to Revise WSBK Homologation Requirements

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

The International Motorcycling Federation is considering modifying its homologation requirements for the World Superbike Championship following Bimota‘s somewhat surprising plans to re-enter the series. Under current regulations, manufacturers must produce a minimum number of motorcycles for it to be eligible to compete in the production-based WSBK championship. The official regulations currently require a minimum of 125 units produced for an initial homologation inspection, 500 units produced by June 30 of the current year, 1,000 units by the end of the current year and 2,000 units by the end of the following year.
