My FJR gets a new roommate

[bmwhd]

I'd been toying with the idea of picking up a nice /6 or /7 to futz around on when out of the blue my brother calls from Kansas and says his neighbor has an old BMW and wants to get rid of it.

It's a '91 with 75k miles. Hadn't been ridden in a year. I called a couple of folks to get an idea of what it was worth and then bought it sight unseen. I'll pick it up in a week or so. I think it kinda goes well with the FJR don't you B)

Yes, very nice.

Looks like a fun ride.

To bad that front seat section don't fit the fjr You could sell it to 818 guy... save his jewels

Nice bike btw. Price?

:jester:

Very happy w/ my 1150GS!!! Hope you enjoy her. She's not a FJR, but she's got plenty of go!

I had an '82 R100RS. It was a great bike. Loved the fairing on it. The FJR definitely has more beans, but the BMW is so simple you can ride it anywhere in the world with simple tools!

That's a nice one!

I'm an AirHead too. Have a /2 R60 and R69US. A bit older than your 'new' bike..

but oh so simple to work on.

...and, they don't freaking surge at altitude either!

Is it house broken or will you need to put a catch tray down to protect the carpet?

Seems to be house broke as long as you turn the petcocks off. Bings leak you know. Oil seems to be staying in place so far.

 

[OrangevaleFJR]

yet another chance to post a pic of my 2nd favorite bike ever

Yours is a '91??? I thought that model ended in 84.

 

[bmwhd]

It did, only to be revived in '87. They were produced through '95 almost unchanged.

I have allways liked the Airheads. I am on the look out for one to sit next to my Enfield. A freind is on his way to the BMW thing in Oregon on his Daytona Orange R90s and he has two R100rs in his garage. You would think he would part with one, No way in hell is the standard answer.
