This happened just a year ago, but it’s well worth a reminder if you’ve seen it before. Watch as the MAX BMW team builds a brand new BMW R90S from parts ordered right out of their online parts catalog.
10K Miles – 1974 BMW R90S
Post Sale Update: After 48 bids on eBay, this R90S sold for $19,799. I know many of you think the R90S is overrated, but many others are always on the prowl for one (especially after Egan’s article) – and this is a nice example with less than 10,000 miles.
40 Years Later – Commando vs R90S
As I put together a sequel to the “Best Motorcycle Books” post from a week ago, Peter Egan’s name obviously keeps coming up. I was pleased to noticed that Cycle World has just published another excellent Peter Egan article – a comparison between the Norton Commando and BMW R90S in modern times. Egan’s words paired with some beautiful photos combine …
Ultimate Door Prize – 1975 BMW R90S
Post-Sale Update: This R90S sold for $9,500. Every year, the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America (an excellent organization, if I do say so myself) has a giant rally. Each year they give out an increasing amount of door prizes, and the big winner(s) can even get motorcycles. Back in 2005, the Rally gave away a new K1200S with custom paint …
Nice Price – 1974 BMW R90S
No, it’s not perfect, but this is the lowest price for a R90S I’ve seen in a while. That assumes that the bike still runs, which is not explicitly stated. But if you’re close by, it’s probably worth an email to find out…
No Reserve – Modded 1975 BMW R60/90
This bike started as a R60/6 but it was given the heads, pistons, cylinders, crank, and camshaft from a R90S – the work was done by a former BMW dealership. Combined with a 33/11 final drive gearing, this bike is claimed to be very quick while still maintaining ‘classic BMW ride quality’. Even better? It’s got no reserve, so this …
Restored – 1976 BMW R90S
View PostNice Price – 1974 BMW R90S
This is a ‘rider’, not a show bike, but I think the $7,500 price reflects that just fine. I haven’t seen a good-running example of the R90S for this cheap in a while, but can you get over the faults?
Naked Speed TV – 1974 BMW R90S Custom
If you’re a Bike-urious regular, you’re well-versed on what made the R90S so special. That’s also why I’m curious to hear if you love or hate this custom build by Boxer Metal.
Orange or Black – Your Choice of BMW R90S’
Which would you choose?
Smoke Silver – 1974 BMW R90S
Post Sale Update: This R90S sold for $11,500 after 15 bids on eBay. I adore the BMW R90S, which was a game-changer when it was released to the world. With oversight from Hans Muth, this bike was built to show the world that BMW could make more than just touring bikes for old guys. Reg Pridmore helped soldify that claim …
Original Survivor – 1975 BMW R90S
Post Listing Update: Despite 31 bids up to $22,800, this R90S did not meet reserve. The R90S is one of BMW’s most beloved motorcycles. Here’s an example in the striking Daytona Orange which looks to be in excellent original shape. This specific R90S (VIN: 4980831) has just 8,504 miles and is numbers matching. It’s being offered by the fourth owner …
Original Paint – 1975 BMW R90S
Post Listing Update: This R90S sold for $10,102 after 21 bids on eBay. They say that a vehicle is only original once – thanks to the distinctive paint that is nearly impossible to replicate, that saying is very apt with the R90S.

1975 BMW R90S
I adore the BMW R90S, which was a game-changer when it was released to the world. The Daytona Orange paint scheme shown here was the latter of two available paint schemes, both of which are beautiful and incredibly difficult to reproduce. With oversight from Hans Muth, this bike was built to show the world that BMW could make more than …
