—————————-
This 1976 BMW R90S, serial number 973 of 1,260 reportedly produced for the U.S. market, is a triple numbers-matching example powered by an 898cc opposed twin engine, rated at 67 horsepower, paired with a five-speed transmission and a driveshaft. Restored by the seller between 2018 and 2019, it was finished in Daytona Orange and silver with red pinstriping and displayed at the 2019 La Jolla Concours d’Elegance and the 2019 Quail Motorcycle Gathering, earning first place in its category at both events and a top-10 selection by Cycle World at the Quail. Acquired by the seller in 2018, this R90S is now offered with restoration records, a tool kit, an owner’s manual, awards, and a clean title.
The bike’s exterior features a Daytona Orange and silver finish with red pinstriping, a gloss black frame, a six-gallon fuel tank, a quarter-fairing, a chrome rear passenger grab rail, a stepped two-up sport seat, and both center and side stands. The 19″ front and 18″ rear aluminum rims, re-laced with chrome spokes, are fitted with Continental tires. Suspension includes rebuilt leading-axle front forks and dual BOGE shocks, while braking is handled by rebuilt dual front disc brakes and a rear drum brake. The bike was professionally detailed in 2024, showcasing its concours-winning condition.
The chrome handlebar, equipped with Hella switchgear, dual mirrors, and rubber grips, sits behind an adjustment knob for a hydraulic steering damper. The dash panel features a 140-mph MotoMeter speedometer, a tachometer with a 7,100-rpm redline, a voltmeter, and an analog clock, with LED Katdash illumination. The odometer, reset during restoration, shows 500 miles ridden by the seller. The 898cc opposed twin, rebuilt with 38mm PHM Dell’Orto carburetors, cylinder heads, and a Keihan stainless steel dual exhaust with a crossover pipe, delivers smooth power. The clutch, transmission, and final drive were refurbished or replaced, ensuring mechanical excellence.
The bike’s triple matching numbers—stamped on the steering neck, left engine case, and manufacturer’s plate—confirm its authenticity. Included are a BMW tool kit with roll-up carrier, a tire pump, a BMW-embossed shop towel, and comprehensive restoration documentation.
This BMW R90S is an extremely nice, concours-winning motorcycle, featuring a vibrant Daytona Orange finish, a meticulously restored 898cc engine, and premium features like a quarter-fairing and dual disc brakes, making it an ideal choice for collectors or enthusiasts seeking a rare, award-winning classic with exceptional provenance and show-ready appeal.
