if the bike is everything he is claiming, the price is not unreasonable.  i like it a lot.

A 1977 R100 is a 1,000cc engine. It says it was increased to 1,000cc? Maybe it was technically a 980cc and increased a few cc's?

So the mileage is 10......8484

Maybe in the year 2525 I could go across the US to pick up a BMW.

I think the original bike for this custom was an R75/5, or a  750cc displacement engine.  Different versions of this engine displaced 800, 900, and 1000cc (actually not quite 1000cc, more like 980cc.)  I believe all had the same stroke, but had different cylinder bores.

 The ad states it started life as an R75/7 , and yes , same 70.6 MM stroke as the 1,000 .

Very nice looking classic BMW!  :thumb: I bet the uninitiated go nuts meeting that on a highway trying to figure out what they just saw as it goes by.

That is gorgeous. Anyone else think the Wixom bags look kind of small?

The Wixom bags will hold a cold 18 pack in each one! They hold alot.

Bike must have sold - ad is gone. You guys should have copy/pasted it in here so I could see what you're all drooling about.
