I have decided to part with my beautiful 1976 BMW motorcycle. I have owned many BMW motorcycles over the past 40 years and I can tell you this is one of the finest year and models ever made and in one of the most desirable colors. The 900cc engine is considered to be the best airhead ever built. Smooth and powerful. Produced from 1974 to 1976, but only 76 enjoys a 5 speed, this is an especially unique year in that this is the final year of what purists refer as the last of the best! It enjoys the optional classic style touring tank with black knee pads and the matching fenders and side covers all hand painted with black striping. This is a bike in which all of the parts on it have lived together for close to 40 years. Everything is original. No reproduction parts. No paint work. Frame, engine and data plate all have matching numbers This is a totally OEM unmolested survivor, in completely original condition. Clearly the bike has always been garaged and has never seen inclement weather nor is there any damage history. The paint color is Dover White. Rare to say the least. Ordered for use by Police departments and Government work throughout the world, this color commands premium prices since its introduction on the venerable /2 models. In this case the paint is 100% original and enjoys its full luster. The original alloy/ spoked wheels are perfect and shine beautifully. The mufflers are OEM BMW, not aftermarket replicas. The Metzler tires match and are in as new condition. All the electrics are in order. This is a well optioned bike as well. It has OEM Kraven bags and liners which were fitted by its original owner in 1983. The seat was built for BMW by the Korbin Seat Company and is made of soft black leather, matching white piping and is foam filled. This was a $600 dealer installed period correct option. Front and rear mud guards with original logos give it the Euro look it deserves. Chromium engine protection bars are smooth throughout and thankfully have never had to serve their function. As you would expect from a proper lady, the handlebars, risers, grips, controls and mirrors are all 100% factory original. The machine enjoys new Metzler tires, battery, plugs, condensor, point set and fresh oil and filters. Also, the fork oil and front brake fluid has been renewed. The carbs and fuel petcocks have been rebuilt. Mechanically it is one of best, smooth running BMWs. The throttle is perfect with the Bing carburetors responding perfectly. The carburetors have been completely rebuilt as well. This is the first year of the 5 speed. Gearing is perfectly mated to the proper horsepower. The braking is spectacular. Far better than you would expect from a 20 year younger bike! Buy it and drive it. That is all you have to do to enjoy this summer riding season and many future ones! This is one of the finest BMW bikes on the market at any price. Its current owner purchased it in 2003, 12 years ago with only 1,400 miles from its original owner! Watch and see, soon these mighty 900s will follow in the footsteps of the R69S and R90S of the same period. In fact, there are very few intact airheads which can be purchased for this price that actually run! Original tools, air pump and service records provided. This bike is sold with a proper State of Connecticut paperwork Form Q-1 Supplemental Assignment of Ownership. There are no liens, loans or damage history. The bill of sale as well and current registration provided as well. Feel free to call or text at 914-403-1768. I am happy to invite you to our scenic hamlet in upper Westchester, located just 40 miles north of Times Square, where the roads are perfect for this giant autobahn cruiser. Notice Bedford Historical Hall in the pics! Minutes from Danbury or Stamford Connecticut as well. Thank you for reading. Cheers. John Louis. Welcome offers too! 914-403-1768.
