- German engineered, boxer engine, rock-solid, and all that other stuff. And while all that other stuff is good, let's be clear-it's the paint job that makes this bike soooo desirable. Hans Muth (of later Katana fame) styled this bike, and its juicy, smoke-faded Daytona Orange paint came to be know as the Creamsicle. I've seen pictures of these bikes before and thought that looks nice, I can see what the fuss is about. But today as I drove up and pulled into the Nova parking lot I was absolutely transfixed. It is delicious eye candy. You have to be there. The photos do not do it justice. I went from like to want in under 2 seconds flat. And while we're gonna do our best to show you this bike, do yourself a favor and find one to look at in person.
One of my favorite paint schemes on any motorcycle. Thanks again for sharing
Interesting,I gotta check out that designer you mentioned, and that bike so attractive and color perfect for that bike .
Had a mongrel '72 R75/5 with an '79 R100 motor traded for something or another. Best bike in the world, best years of my life, best times, the usual story....
I had a 78 R100RS. I put 264,000 miles on it. I'm a local legend. 🙂
Why BMW quit making the machine and its variants is still a mystery to me. They sold zillions of them. It did absolutely everything you could possibly ask of a motorcycle and did them beautifully. Its appearance is timeless.
I bought a 100s in 1977. The color that year was RED and it had the more streamlined valve covers. My paint immediately faded. The dealer was a friend and got me all repainted parts from bmw that never faded again. I just had to send back all the faded stuff back. The bike shown sure looks like a 76????
Hi, the R90S has stainless steel rims. Cheers 😊
10.3.24. 🤔I believe that Daytona Orange was only used on the 1975-1976 years. What a beautiful bike & the sunny day is superb to showcase the BMW. In the superbike series the BMW far out handled the Japanese bikes that is why they were winning. It wasn’t until the Japanese started learning how to build frames and suspension systems that they took over super bike.
Yes early Japanese handling in the superbike class was very very bad! Also, to be clear this paint is similar but not the same as the R90S orange. There can be only one.
in 2012 i worked at a marina on cape cod and in a back shed was a former employees R90S! he had moved to the Netherlands and nobody knew how to get in touch with the owner. apparently he was not interested in selling. it was torture.
how much is a bike like this now a days?
