Toaster Tank – 1973 BMW R75/5
Here’s a low mileage (19k) example of the BMW R75/5 which looks great in original Granada Red paint. It’s being offered by the third owner, who refreshed by the bike in early 2014. The refresher avoided any cosmetics – instead the bike got new tires, suspension, ignition, cables, handlebars, and seals. All work was done by Bombars Beemers, and this …
2006 BMW R1150GSA Special Edition
For the last year of production, BMW released just 350 Special Editions of the venerable R1150GSA. Of those, only 177 were imported to the US. This example has some excellent upgrades to complement what is my favorite paint scheme BMW offered on this series of the GS.
2008 BMW HP2 Sport
Post-Listing Update: After being relisted, this HP2 Sport did not meet reserve at $14,097. The BMW HP2 Sport is one of the rarest bikes from the last few decades of BMW motorcycles. It certain ways, it was a tough sell. Loosely based on the R1200S, this was a very pricey and exclusive sportbike that put down less power than its …
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.

1984 BMW R80/100ST with DMC Sidecar
Here’s a nifty sidecar rig with a BMW R80/100ST and a DMC M72D Sidecar. The R80 has a slash because a previous owner threw a Nikasil 1000cc kit in it.

1992 BMW K100RS
This is a final-year example of BMW’s K100, a bike that was incredibly important in BMW’s history. Originally developed because the German firm felt their usual boxer engine would struggle to meet new emissions standards (they even stopped building the R100 for a short period of time), this bike was the result of a $110 million gamble to build a …
Pranafa Playboy Mini-Scooter
This bike contains one of my least favorite phrases – “ran when parked”. Despite that, it’s too cool not to feature. Originally imported to the US by Hap Alzina, the west coast BSA dealer, the Pranafa Playboy was a mini-scooter built by Dr. Seiffert in Frankfurt, Germany. The intent was something to have something you could take to work but …
1995 MZ Skorpion Sport

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.
