Anyone have a BMW motorcycle?

[DMF]

Fell in love with the low end R65 when I was in Japan.

This exact bike would match my E30 perfectly!

^^hah,

alpina, perhaps you could go by and give blunt the vibration action of a v-twin.

Nah man, parallel twins are where it's at. Better rhythm, more vibration.

I've got a 98' R12C

<- dreams of having something like one of these someday:

I have an '04 R1100S & I love it (it is for sale too)! I sold my euro E30 to purchase it though and I truly regret it. They are great bikes and very reliable, but costly to maintain.

Is there any good forums for old Beemers? I want one with a sidecar but its hard to find any good info on them. I am even considering a Chang Jiang, but I have a feeling it will kill me because the the brake cable or fork nut gave out.

My dad has a long wheel base toaster R75/5, and we had a sidecar on it. Those frames though, aren't stout enough from the factory, so you have to run a subframe to bolt the sidecar to. There are guys with the old R series bikes that run a Ural or Chang Jiang frame and cycle parts for sidecar duty because they are copies of the older stronger BMW design.

Saw this at a D-Day museum near Omaha Beach about five years ago:

There are a few nice BMW bikes up on Craigslist right now. God how I want one, There are some really amazing lakeside roads great for cruising around here.

These peaked my interest.

this is my e30/honda (71 cb750) party. I had to get my bike to school, and didn't have any other way to do it. I got the bike in there by myself, which was pretty difficult. sorry this picture is so fucking enormous, i don't know how to re-size stuff.

THE BCC: BMW Custom Concept

BMW Motorrad introduced the BCC, a new custom design study at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan on November 4th, 2008. This concept developed by BMW Motorrad design team lead by David Robb is a marriage of naked and muscle and is homage to the incredible 85-year history of BMW Motorcycles and a nod to the purest form of two-wheel design.

The BCC design study is conceived as a fully customizable ride. The rider can choose the exhaust system such as shotgun-low or scrambler; the type of seat such as aluminum perch seat, minimal modern saddle or simple 2-man seat. Even the headlight can be customized, whether it's projector lighting or classic circular headlamp. Add to that four fuel tank paint colors and three engine paint finishes as well as a range of other details. This design dream study is unlike any other concept bike. The BMW Custom Concept allows the rider to directly participate in shaping his or her custom motorcycle. With dozens of unique variations, no two BCCs will be the same.

The BCC design study is currently powered by a flat twin 'Boxer' engine with 105 hp, yet weighing at a very light 418 lbs. This concept features a trellis frame, 17-inch wheels, 6-piston brake calipers and corner carving upside down forks.

We'd love to know what you think of the new BCC. Please fill out the short questionnaire below and share your thoughts on this new design study from BMW. Also, don't forget to select your favorite BCC from the 12 customized options shown. Are you a scrambler type, or do you prefer the exhaust down below? How about the seat, will you go for a single, double or café style? And on't forget the headlight; do you prefer it classic or modern?



Fucking cool idea if you ask me.

[Miasma]

God those bikes are fucking sick. Do want.

[dashboardmonkey]
