BMW ‘Blue S’
We are talking here about a 1976 legendary BMW “R90 S” with wonderful Dell Orto carburetors and dedicated camshaft… Still for an unknown reason, coming with mag wheels and not rim wheels this time.
The owner wanted to go for a street tracker inspiration which he could use for both commuting and road tripping. Convincing him to go for a vintage non OEM tank with no paint job was not that hard.
And even if he had not been convinced, we’d still have sticked to this AD.
