|
Comments:
My first Beemer. Not a perfect fit, but the best I've had yet. Definitely the coolest bike I've owned. Pretty nimble despite the weight. Great for a day trip through Deal's Gap and on through to the magnificent Cherohala Skyway, with all the fixins. Need to fix the ergos/bars/leaks to reach true nirvana, plus a little more power, more brakes, yadayada and so on. (Anyone who's about 6' tall with experience changing out the bars, gimme an email.)
| |||
| For Sale: FOR SALE/WANTED: I might part with the old Vetter Quicksilver fairing that came on it, but it has cracks on the frame mounts. It's still quite salvageable. LOOKING FOR: the molded plastic BMW factory headlight nacelle, which converts from a square headlight to the factory BMW round lens. ALSO: one or two latches for the hard bags. ALSO LOOKING FOR: the "frame side/mount" half of one of these hard bags, so I can work on a project. | |||

Comments:
My first BMW, it's great. I consider it a very fine motorcycle, handles great. It has enough power, it's just not fast off the line. That's ok it's not a rocket :) The good part, I was away from riding for about 25 yrs. and this bike was my welcome "back" I'v put about 6,ooo mile on it since May :) By the way, riding is better than I remember... Past bikes: 125 Honda twin and a BSA 250 dirt/street.

| Experience: | I rode bikes for 10 years 20 years ago. Just getting back to it. | ||
| Bikes Owned: | 5 | ||
| Accessories: None. | |||
| Modifications: None. | |||
| Problems: The bike runs well but has high mileage. It was used by previous one owner regularly for his commute and stood outside often so the paint and non-metal parts are faded. Tires, headers, and front rotor need replacing. | |||
|
Comments:
The last BMW I owned (20 years ago) was a R69s. I'm looking forward to getting this bike back to good riding form as inexpensively as possible. I would appreciate any tips about good buys in aftermarket headers and as well as referrals of folks who do good inexpensive paint jobs in the Philly area.

| Problems: Engine seemed to misfire when at operating temp. Realized one choke was stuck half way open and other choke cable was not connected. Replaced choke cables-runs perfect (37,500 miles). Charging system weak when used for city driving; battery needs recharging every two weeks. Occasionally pops out of second gear when shifting into 2nd quickly. Gets stuck in neutral if you shift into neutral when bikes is not rolling; solution- roll bike a couple of inches and it engages. | |||

| Accessories: Stock BMW bags, got a great deal on a used pair at Marty's BMW Torrance, CA. Also a small windscreen, about chest high. "National Cycle Deflector Screen" $52.99 from Chaparral accesories in CA. 1 800 841-2960. Works great, breakes up the wind to about chest high. | |||
| Modifications: Works performance front springs, Helped the front end feel more planted. | |||
| Problems: A couple of oil leaks, the oil sending unit leaked where the plastic meets the connector. Also the oil filter gasket split on the top portion. Both times was able to limp home with about a quart lost. Side stand touches down when conering hard. I took some material off the sidestand tab. That along with the new front springs solved the problem. | |||
|
Comments:
Agile, easy to ride around town, and lots of fun on the back roads. Handles good to about 85mph, after that, the feel is a bit vague, and you start looking for more horsepower. Unless you are looking to go over high mountain passes while riding double at 90 mph, or race Ducati 916s, this bike is more than adequate. What it lacks in horsepower and handling it makes up for in versatility and character. Any reports on performance improvements please e-mail me. Thanks
