1973 BMW R-Series

I BOUGHT THIS BIKE TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION ABOUT 6 YEARS AGO. BOUGHT SIGHT UNSEEN, FLEW UP TO NO. CAROLINA, GOT IT RUNNING AND RODE IT BACK TO FL. HAS ORIGINAL PAINT & PIECES. NEAR AS I CAN TELL ONLY THE SEAT HAS BEEN CHANGED. I HAVE KEPT IT DRIVEABLE OVER THE YEARS [WHAT FUN IS IT HAVING A STABLE OF UNUSED BIKES!] IT IS A VERY EASY RESTORATION TO MAKE PRISTEEN OR JUST RIDE IT AS ORIGINAL. I CHANGED THE PIPES TO THE ORIG.'CIGAR' TYPE, DID A CARB CLEAN AND OIL CHANGE. I ADJUSTED THE VALVES & RETUQUED THE HEADS.THE ENGINE RUNS QUIET & SMOOTH,GETITING A RESPECTABLE 40 - 50 MPG. A NEW BATTERY FOR EASY STARTING - I CAN'T KICK 'EM LIKE I COULD IN MY 40'S! I HAVE PUT ABOUT 3000.00 MI ON IT SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AND ENJOYED THEM ALL. IT IS A LONG WHEELBASE - GOOD FOR TWO UP OR HEAVYR RIDER I PICTURED THE BIKE JUST AS I BROUGHT IT OUT OF MY BARN - NO FOOLING W/ A DETAIL & QUICK COVER UP. iT DOESN'T USE ANY OIL OR LEAK ANY. CLOSE-UP PIC ARE AVAILABLE. JUST ASK. -- JUST AS AN ASIDE -I UNDERSTAND THAT CONGRESSWOMAN GIFFORD IS AN AVID BMW RIDER W/ A /5. A BLACK ONE. LET'S HOPE SHE CAN RIDE AGAIN, GET IN THE WIND AND ENJOY THE ARIZONA MOUNTAIN TWISTIES... GOD BLESS HER & AND WISH FOR A SPEEDY, 100% RECOVERY. THANKS FOR LOOKING SAFE RIDING TO ALL!!! DC I ADDED A GROUP OF DETAILED PICS THAT SHOW AS MUCH OF THE BIKE AS POSSIBLE. PROBABLY THE BIGGEST DEFECT ON THE BIKE IS A BROKEN REAR SEAT HINGE.I HAVE HAD THESE REPAIRED BEFORE FOR AROUND 35.00. OTHER THAN THAT, SOME NEW CABLE PROTECTOR BOOTS, SOME NEW GRIPS, CLEAN & POLISH AND A GENERAL SERVICE. HUCKY'S BMW PARTS HAS ALL THE RUBBER BOOTIES AND GOODIES NEEDED TO BRING THIS BEAUTIFUL, ENDURING CLASSIC INTO A REAL HEAD-TURNER THAT WILL ALWAYS BE SO SIMPLY ELEGANT.TRUE ZEN.
