DESCRIPTION
The legendary BMW R90S is a 900cc sport motorcycle produced by BMW from 1973 to 1976. BMW commissioned designer Hans Muth to oversee the R90S, which became the flagship of the boxer engine range. Sporting distinctive two-tone paintwork, a bikini fairing and a new tail, the R90S was intended to shrug off the enduring image of BMW bikes as staid and utilitarian.
The 67 bhp (50 kW) R90S had a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), it ran the quarter mile in around 13.5 seconds and it accelerated from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 4.8 seconds. Maximum torque was delivered at 5,500 rpm.
This delightful 1975 BMW R90S is presented in beautiful condition having benefited from a total restoration in 2014. We are informed by the current vendor that this bike has travelled a genuine 12,500 miles from new having spent some 30 years off the road prior to it's total restoration last year. Interestingly enough this bike was originally supplied new in 1975 to the current vendor's brother.
During the total restoration the cylinder head was removed and all valves replaced. Wheels, suspension and steering bearings were also replaced. All new tyres and suspension were fitted along with a new stainless exhaust. New carburettors were also fitted and wheels rebuilt with new forks.
Viewing of this classic motorbike is highly recommended.
