Post by: xackley on September 20, 2018, 01:56:01 PM
These 2 are my favorites, now I can sell the rest. Preview seems to only display the thumbnail?

I've had the BMW since 1977, 62K, never did more than lubricate and adjust the valves.
Paint and chrome has lots of patina.

The EV really does have the charm of those old BMWs. It makes me wonder if a V7 is in my future.

OK.   My 1974 Eldorado, and 1976 R90S.   I didn't own the R90S when this picture was taken, but, I do now  :grin:

I have a photo, but the bikes are newer. My old R60 is long gone...

searching... can't seem to find a pic of my K75s (now gone) next to a V11.

That's a sweet R90s.

If you mean this Bob ..... here I am!

My first Beemer, purchased at Heritage BMW, Greensburg, PA in March of 1986.

I found this old pic a few years ago, stored on a Kodak Disk camera, tucked away in an old tank bag.  Horrible resolution, but the camera was small, for the time.

I loved this first generation K bike, even though it cooked my legs whenever there was a crosswind!

Above bike followed with this sweetheart.

I had  a K bike addiction. These two were followed up with a K1100RS and my last K, a 1999 K1200RS.

I've got a 77 R75/7 and a 77 Lemans 850.

Very interesting to compare the 2 but what I can say is the Guzzi trans is much better than that /7. A lot less clunking.

Don't have side by side pics yet but here's my 1993 R100R which I've had since 1999.

And my V7 II Stone I purchased in July.

Both are relatively light weight, air cooled, simple push rod 2-valve, motorcycles that I enjoy more than any of my others.

Love that R100R!  I own a 1991 R100GS that should be a reliable machine with all the $$ thrown at the old gal with 155000 miles showing.  Your R would probably be perfect for an older (75) rider who likes the GS, but is height-impaired.  I rented a '94/'95 Mystic for several days in Southern California in the mid 90s, and found it to be a fun machine.

Thanks Ohiorider, yeah probably better for someone shorter. I had a 1991 R100GS and after trading it on a R1100RS really missed the thing so picked up this R100R. Interestingly my Africa Twin reminds me a lot of the Airhead GS, similar riding position, handling, narrow at the waist, weight seems close but the AT must be heavier. Just a little more power and better brakes.

Not certain whether I could find a photo of a BMW and Guzzi of mine together...  Maybe the day I traded the '10 RT in on the Stelvio, might be on the phone, I'll look.

In the meantime...  Two Beemers and a Guzzi, love them all for different reasons.

1991 R 110 RT

And the 2010 R 1200 RT

And because there are waaay too many Guzzi I picked this one, 2004 EV Touring
