What are the thoughts on the R90/6 future values, the slower brother of the S, compared to the other airheads of that era,they seem the rarer of them all bar the S
It all depends on condition and history with "older" airheads - I would think that you could buy a R90S in poor condition, (particularly the paintwork, as mechanics are relatively easy to replace), for £3k, whereas the very best examples are being
advertised for £15k .............
I have just sold a 24,000 mile, very good condition 1984 R80 mono, (French Registered), which is one of my favourite Bikes, for Euros 6,000 in France - I advertised it on here for £5,500/£6k with it being re-registered in the UK and brought back, and fortunately I found an enthusiast who appreciated the Bike, and to tell you the truth I got more interest on a Watch Forum.
A good condition R90/6 was advertised on here a few months ago, (not sure if it was sold), so have a search
At one time, before we moved out to France permanently I have 10 "older" BMW.s - I started selling them maybe 12 years ago as I'm "getting" on - but none of the Bikes were sold on here, they were all sold through contacts - so it's finding the "right" buyer for these "older" airheads - very limited market on this Forum.... so maybe not the place to get an opinion
In my view they can only increase in value - judging from what I have seem over the past 20 years
The 90/6 is a good Bike - nearly a R90S - but if I remember correctly it seemed a lot heavier to ride than the R90S, a bit like the R100S, which I did not really like.
(I've still got a R90/6, but it's in bits!!!)
the /5 Bikes are really nice - I have a R60/5 which I loved to ride -if I were buying another, (which I'm not), that's what I would go for
I think I sold this for £3,250, - 10 or 11 years ago - not sure what it would sell for today
