No Reserve – 1976 BMW R90S

In Germany, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

Post Sale Update: Sold for $6,000 after 9 bids on eBay.

Normally when I feature a R90S, the seller’s got a 5 digit asking price and the bidding is often dead before it’s started. I like this listing because bidding starts at $4k…and there’s no reserve. Could it end up being a bargain? Probably, because the paint on the tank is wrong and I think that’s going to impact the value quite a bit. But if you’re just looking to experience the riding pleasure of a R90S and you’re not a stickler for cosmetics, maybe this is the bike for you.
