Anyone got a R90S for sale

[cookie]

i had one painted by dream machine via keith shaw some years back. it was a pretty good job but not as good as original.
it was a lot cheaper than dream machine quoted though*

c. £1300 in 2004, and the bike was probably only worth about £2500 then

...and not long after it went back to it's owner, it fell off the side stand and i had to get the screen re-done

Picked up a 1974 model from a fellow enthusiast in Yorkshire yesterday. Lovely M/C

Hmmmm. I thought all the early 90Ss were silver smoke ? I'm probably wrong mind.

Me too.....I thought that 'Daytona Orange' came along in 1975.....

HOWEVER......I'm also no expert......

It seems the first orange bike was introduced in June 1974 but I am not certain. If it was grey and I was paying for a respray I would have had it done orange anyway so grey/orange isn't an issue for me on such a fine M/C

Mmmm I bought an Orange one in Sept/Oct 1974,

I remember it still had the solid discs on(not drilled) they changed them for me later the following year, and i had a problem with the seat, I don't think they'd put any padding in it, , so I changed it at a later date (as we still do )

I kept it for three years, never cost me a penny other than servicing costs,sold it to a friend at work who wrote it off

Think I have a set BMW panniers to fit that, somewhere in the loft But not the original ones the original ones may have been krauser but not sure, I do know they let water in badly,

I'm sure you'll get a lot of pleasure out of it Andy, if I was 10 years younger I'd be making you an offer for it

Even better. A demo ride on an R90s was what made me buy an R60/6, my first BM. (A tyro teacher's salary wouldn't stretch to the £1500 bank loan.) Great gobs of torque from those pumper carbs. Had an RD350 at the time so the contrast was fairly noticeable! Eek!

Health to enjoy many miles together.

That's lovely Andy. You enjoy it.

Look forward to seeing at the cabin one day soon.

I have a piece in this months Real Classic (October) mag on the bike.

It's my first ever attempt at something like this and it was more difficult then I thought it would be but it's still nice to see your own words and pictures in an article.

Edit:
Real classic is a subscription magazine but they will have a stand on the balcony of the Stafford Classic show selling mags later this month, if anyone is interested.
