Due to a change in circumstances/space and a recurring elbow problem, I have reluctantly decided to part with the last few of my Classics.
I’m aware the market is not as strong at the moment but thought I’d try them on here first before subjecting myself to eblag etc.

1975 UK BMW R90S in the legendary Daytona Orange colour scheme. I’m only the 4th owner from new and it’s totally original and unmolested, I was assured that it’s not had a spanner on the engine and runs like a new bike. I’ve only had it 14 months after having my name on it for over 5 years but time waits for no man!☹️
It has a genuine 7942 miles on the clock which can be verified and I think it’s unlikely you’d be able to find a lower mileage original example.
I’ve added a set of new chrome pannier rails and changed the tyres for new Avon Road Riders and the bike loves them. You can see from the original and current miles how much use they’ve had.
I’m asking £8950 in the current market which I feel is about right, my agreed insurance value is an awful lot higher!😳 If I’ve priced it right then it will sell, if not then it’s no hardship to keep it until it does.😉
The bike is in Blackpool and any viewers are welcome.
Judging by recent sales and the current market I don’t anticipate it will sell on here and I’ll have to open it up to a wider audience but felt there was no harm in trying.🙂
Mobile is 07815911025 if easier for any genuine enquiries or WhatsApp pics etc.

Realise people on this forum are all over the place and viewing wouldn’t exactly be easy for some if they were interested. In the interest of honesty and a closer inspection I’ve decided to show some ‘warts and all’ pictures which will hopefully show any blemishes etc which would be seen on a viewing.
There are small holes drilled around both sides of the fairing. From research I’ve found that a 70’s German fabricator called Heinrich designed some wind deflectors which would see to match the holes. Needless to say they are like unicorn crap to find!😄 I was going to insert some small bungs and paint them but decided not to bother as I don’t mind them and don’t think they’re too insightly.
There are some small areas of touch up which the pics will show, there’s also an area of lacquer missing by the rear BMW Club sticker and there may be a blemish underneath but it came with the stickers on and I’m not going to start peeling them off to find out.😉
There are a couple of small dings in the left hand exhaust which hopefully the picture shows but they’re not too bad, after all it is an unrestored original 51 year old bike so it’s not going to be perfect🙂 I also checked some old MOT’s to find it’s only covered just over 312 miles from 1978 to now!!😳
I understand the market at present and guessed it might not sell on here despite lots of views, therefore I’d listen to a very near offer if someone is genuinely interested, before subjecting myself to ‘wider audience’.😉

Forgot there are some panniers albeit with different keys. They’re by know means perfect with a major scuff and lid repair to the right hand pannier but they’d do a job on a trip!😉

Guess what, I have a pair of unicorn crap wind deflectors :love:
😂 Are they for sale by some slim chance? just in case it doesn’t sell and I’m faced with the hardship of having to keep it! 😄 Either way I wouldn’t mind seeing an actual picture of what they look like.😉👍
