I’m hoping one of you out there knows more about this bike than I do, because all I’ve really been able to determine is that the M250B featured a 247cc single-cylinder two stroke that produced 14 horsepower.

The street based brother of the R80G/S, the BMW R80ST did not sell particularly well – only 5,963 were built over two years. But it’s become a bit of a cult classic, and plenty of owners feel that this was the best handling motorcycle BMW had made up to that point.

Heavily Modified – 2007 BMW F800S
The BMW F800S was a very brief member of the BMW Motorrad lineup in the United States. Only sold from 2006-2007, the F800S had a short run (though the ST continues on today as the F800GT).
