Bike is a 1974 BMW R90S that was originally Black Smoke and repainted to a Daytona Orange paint scheme at time of restoration 2007-08. Restoration work was done at Mischler's BMW in Beaver Dam, WI; receipts available. Actual history of the bike is not clear; I think I am the third owner. I got it out of an airplane hanger, started work on it, was in over my head, and then turned it over to Mischler's. This was NOT a frame up restoration. The drive train never left the frame. All seals, hoses, fluids were changed. Fork seals changed. Cylinders inspected. Heads inspected. Carbs rebuilt. The bike had 16661 miles on it when I got it back in 2008 and has 23036 miles on the odometer now. NOTE: I am told this is not the instrument cluster original to the bike, so actual miles on bike is not known. I have put 6375 miles on the bike since restoration and have kept up on maintenance. The bike was a good runner up till 1 year ago but has only been started in the garage since then. I added the Krauser saddle bags the second year bike was back on the road. Notice in the pictures that the bike HAS a kick start; 1974 was the last year a kick start was put on this bike.There is a picture of a solo seat off a R!00S that is included with the sale of this bike. The seat will not be sold separately. There is no seat hardware, hooks, latches, etc. Cash or certified check required for payment. A $500.00 non-refundable payment will be required to hold bike for more than 10 days after sale if final sale arrangements cannot be made. Buyer is responsible for pick-up and/or shipping of the bike. I will assist in this, but will not crate or transport the bike. If there any questions, drop me a line and I will answer to the best of my ability.
