I adore the BMW R90S, which was a game-changer when it was released to the world. The gray and smoke paint scheme shown here was the first 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 …
Bought on Bike-urious – 1992 BMW K1
These have quickly become my favorite types of posts to write up – sharing the story of someone who bought a bike on Bike-urious! Today’s congratulations go to Michael B, who snapped up a 1992 BMW K1 that I originally spotted on Craigslist, and saw again for sale 6 months later on ADVRider. I’ll let Michael tell the story himself: …
Bought on Bike-urious – MZ 1000S
I’m absolutely delighted to share our first success story (tentatively titled “Bought on Bike-urious”) with you all. David, one of the more prolific (and knowledgeable) members of the Bike-urious community, has just taken delivery of the MV 1000S featured two weeks ago. As you can see in the background, the weather isn’t ready for him to enjoy his new motorcycle, …
Ending Soon – 1978 BMW R100RS Motorsport – 1 of 200
Post Listing Update: This RS did not meet reserve despite 26 bids up to $7,300. A classic in its own right, the BMW R100RS needs no introduction. However, in 1978, BMW released a limited edition – the Motorsport. 200 were released to the United States. The fancy name of the BMW R100RS Motorsport might lead you to believe that there …

Reader John S. tipped me off about a private collection of over 50 bikes that’s come up for sale – if you can’t find something you like in this set, you probably don’t belong on this website!
Black and Gold – 1978 BMW R100RS
2-11 Update: After being relisted countless times, including some BIN offers, this BMW R100RS is back up for sale with an opening bid of $2,599. Hopefully the reserve is low enough to actually be sold this time here on eBay. The BMW R100RS was the flagship of BMW’s late 70s lineup. With the world’s first full factory fairing, it was …
1 of 30 – 2005 MZ 1000S
Post-Sale Update: This MZ 1000S sold for $4,000 – to one of our own readers! Once the world’s biggest producer of motorcycles, MZ went bankrupt in May of last year. The last decade of its history was full of financial troubles, but the varying ownership had MZ constantly trying new things. In 1996, a Malaysian group took over and resolved …
1 Owner, Low Miles – 1977 BMW R100/S
How can you not love a 37 year old bike that’s had one owner? This R100/S checks almost all the right boxes – 1 owner, just 37,000 miles, everything works, and you get factory luggage! I’d prefer to see it in the classic BMW black, but I have to concede that the red metal flake looks pretty good in the …
Video Intermission: Stunts with a BMW K1600GT
Chris Pfeiffer is a well-known stunt rider who has been using BMWs for the last few years – I first discovered him with this amusing video of him goofing around on a F800R through the BMW Tower in Munich: Someone on r/motorcycles/ just linked to another impressive piece of riding by Pfeiffer, except this time he’s on the 765 pound …
Fully Farkled – 2007 BMW G650X XChallenge
A slightly tangential evolution of the F650GS, the BMW G650X XChallenge was arguably the German firm’s most dedicated off-roader. With help from Aprilia and an engine from Rotax, the XChallenge (pronounce Cross Challenge) was defined as a “hard enduro”, whatever that means. Today we’ve got an example that’s been beautifully modified for serious dual-sporting adventures.
Mini BMW R65
Panda Moto is a French company that specializes in modifying current BMW bikes. In fact they recently made the news again with the R1232, a bike built to look like BMW’s first bike, the R32, but with the engine from a R1200. But today we’re interested in something a bit older. Several years ago, Panda Moto built a series of …
1990 BMW K1
Post Listing Update: This K1 did not meet reserve despite 17 bids up to $4,205.01. BMW’s first attempt at a modern sport bike, the K1 featured distinctive bodywork that in hindsight, seems like what a kid would imagine bikes would look like in 2050. In addition to its remarkable looks, the bodywork led to a drag coefficient of .38 – …
Video Intermission: 2014 BMW Motorcycles Assembly
Instead of always looking at completed bikes for sale, let’s take a break and check out some new ones being built – no music, no fancy visuals, just motorcycle manufacturing goodness: Here you’ll see BMW making a R1200GS, a R1200RT Police, and a S1000RR.
1985 BMW K100 Wulf Gerstenmaier Special
Wulf Gerstenmaier is a German painter who now resides in the Caribbean and runs an art school. What does that have to do with this motorcycle website? Well, decades ago, he ran one of Germany’s best aftermarket companies for BMW parts. Utilizing his art background, he went as far as to develop custom bodywork which was supposed to be more …
1969 BMW R50
With 68k on the clock, this numbers matching BMW R50 (#644839) has lived a good life so far, and there should be plenty left. It’s claimed to still be a first kick bike, and it’s relatively original, though some parts have been repainted. Find it for sale in Richmond, Virginia for $8,500 here on eBay.
