1978 BMW R-Series

Clear

1978 BMW R100/7 BIKE RUNS EXCELLENT, SHIFTS SMOOTH, EXCELLENT ACCELERATION, GREAT BRAKES. I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT THIS BIKE TO BE A DONOR BIKE FOR MY 77 R100S RESTORATION, BUT IT RAN SO NICE, I JUST COULDN'T DO IT! NOW, I AM GETTING A 1977 R100RS, SO I NEED FUNDS TO HELP FINANCE THAT. NOT THE ORIGINAL TANK, AS IT IS AN ORIGINAL "RED" COLOR. I PUT THE TANK COVER ON IT. I LIKE THE LOOK. THERE ARE TWO TINY DENTS ON THE TANK THE SIZE OF A NICKEL, ANOTHER GOOD REASON FOR THE TANK COVER. THE BIKE IS AN ORIGINAL COPPER COLOR. . IF THE BIKE SELLS FOR OVER $3000 I WILL INCLUDE THE TANK COVER, BUT IF IT DOES NOT BREAK THE $3000 MARK, I AM GOING TO KEEP IT FOR THE 77 "RS", JUST SO YA KNOW. ALSO IT WILL COME WITH THE BACK REST MOUNT, WITH THE NEW UPHOLSTERED PAD. SEE PHOTOS OF THE BACK REST. ITS NOT CURRENTLY ON THE BIKE, AS I LIKE THE LOOK WITHOUT IT. SHOWS 31500 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, BUT THE FIRST TWO DIGITS FLOAT AROUND A BIT. TRIPOMETER WORKS FINE, TACH WORKS FINE. ALL ELECTRICAL WORKS AS IT SHOULD, HEADLIGHT HI/LOW, BLINKERS, BRAKE LIGHT ALL WORK AS THEY SHOULD. HAS THE 32 MM BING CARBS. HAS THE 34/11 FINAL DRIVE. MATCHING FRAME AND ENGINE NUMBERS. CLEAR OREGON TITLE WITH TAGS GOOD TILL 10/2016 *** I forgot to mention, the seat has the forward tool storage, that is inside the front part of the seat. A door flap hinged, swings down and tools can be put inside. I hear that is kinda rare... see last photo... CONS: I GET A DROP OR TWO OF OIL OVERNIGHT AFTER A GOOD RUN. LOOKS LIKE IT'S FROM THE OIL PAN AREA. ALSO A FEW PITS IN THE CHROME MIRROR STEMS. SEE VIDEO OF A COLD START. SEE 2ND GOPRO VIDEO OF A RECENT CRUISE IN AREA.
