The BMW S1000RR was an instant hit. Striking looks, amazing performance and mindboggling technology all wrapped up in a quality package. Weight was kept under 400 pounds and horse power came ever so close to the then magical 200 mark. In 2012 BMW upped the ante with the the HP4 editions. More of everything that…
A short lived model (2003-2005), the BMW Boxer Cup Replika was a celebration of the one-make, VIP racer series that BMW ran with professional racers. Based on the R1100S, the Boxer Cup model can be distinguished primarily via graphics – although there were some subtle changes from the standard model, including an underseat Laser exhaust…
Update 11.4.2020: This bike has SOLD! Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc This 2004 BMW R1100S is a shining example of the Bavarians at their best. It’s a long-distance sportbike with looks to match its purpose and a distinct lack of pretense. I won’t call it a “sport-tourer,” because I have just decided I don’t…
Someone absolutely unloaded their wallet at this 2015 BMW S1000RR to encrust every visible square inch of it with carbon fiber.

The result of all that expense is an already potent…
This is the fourth motorcycle being offered from the Stuart Parr Collection. Thank you for supporting the site and good luck to buyers and seller! -dc In the annals of modern motorcycle history, the Japanese have the technological might, the Italians have the performance artwork, and the Germans… well, the Germans had a more conservative…
I must admit, I’ve been sitting on the sidelines on this one. After the 3rd or 4th time around on eBay, I figured it was about time I wrote it up here (it was already on our Facebook site). After all, it is a freaking Krauser frame with seemingly pristine bodywork. That makes this a…
If you are a motorcycle manufacturer with a relatively “boring” reputation – known more for your gentleman’s autobahn express and less for outright performance – how do you change your image to go after the more sport-oriented buying public? One glance at Detroit and the Golden Era of NASCAR tells of the secret: Win on…
Somehow, weird isn’t exactly the adjective that leaps to my mind when someone says, “BMW.” I mostly picture skinny European men in their late 40s designing ergonomics with a supercomputer, getting every detail down to its most efficient and sensible form. But, then I look at the 2007 BMW R1200S and I have to wonder…
