With their solid design and legendary reliability, mid 1970s BMW ‘airheads’ have become the most popular machine for modifying into ‘brat bikes’ or ‘cafe racers’ in recent years, so it's rare to find one in a standard and original condition. The R90S, with its distinctive Smoke Grey paintwork fading to a Silver paint scheme, was one of the most desirable, and expensive, bikes in the 1970s costing almost twice as much as a Japanese bike in period.
This 1976 BMW R90S has certainly been well looked after by the vendor. In his ownership, he has had the rear shocks refurbished by Ohlins, a new battery and carrier, new BMW side panels and logos, mostly fitted with stainless fasteners, all new rubber parts, and new rubber carburettor sleeves. A recent recommissioning cost of £969.00 by Heritage Motorcycles, is listed in the history file. The paintwork is of a very good standard. With almost new tyres, it presents as a very nice example of the model and is ready for the road. It is offered with a current V5C, Swedish paperwork, and bills and receipts for work carried out, and an owner's manual.
