The Basics

1978 BMW R100*/7 FOR SALE

Condition:

This is a blue 1978 BMW "Airhead" motorcycle with 47,000 miles on it.  The bike has been maintained but not “restored” or reconditioned during my ownership.  The bike’s condition is consistent with (or better than) a gently used 42-year old BMW motorcycle.  It is still very high quality and reliable, with no significant mechanical or cosmetic issues.  It rides smooth and straight, with no wobbles or any other stability issues at any speeds.


The bike has been not been ridden for the past 3-4 years and has been stored in a garage the entire time.  The battery has been kept on a charger.


Features:
