  1976 BMW R90S

• Notes:
  The BMW R90S was manufactured by BMW from 1973 to 1976. BMW needed to change the image of their brand and to do this they commissioned designer Hans Muth to oversee the R90S, which became the flagship of the boxer engined range. The R90S had unique two-tone paintwork, a bikini fairing and a new tail, and combined with good performance the R90S changed BMWs’ image and has become an iconic piece of 1970’ engineering. The 67 bhp R90S had a top speed of 124 mph , ran a quarter mile in around 13.5 seconds and accelerated from 0 to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds, which is still quick even by today’s standards. The R90S weighs 215 kg and has a five-speed gearbox with a shaft drive. The first R90S models had two-tone “Smoke Black/Silver” paintwork, and then later models went nuts with two-tone “Daytona Orange”. The R90S had a redesigned seat, with a small “ducktail” fairing which housed an under seat tool tray and some storage space for say some wet weather clothing. The R90S came with accessories such as a full toolkit, a hand pump, a first-aid kit and even a small hand towel with an embroidered BMW logo! From 1973 to 1976, 17,455 R90S models were sold. In 1977 the R90S was succeeded by the R100S, so these iconic 1970’ superbikes are rare, serviceable, and becoming highly collectable. This example has had a fresh service and is ready to go for summer.
