Peaky Beemers!

Every month we take a look at the classic motorcycle market with a range of industry experts. This month, Paul Jayson from The Motorcycle Broker and our very own Scott Redmond look at BMWs at both ends of the price scale!

Looking at BMW’s R90/6 and R100/7 I can’t help but get a weird feeling that they may go to insane money like Vincents have.

Maybe because you can tune the hell out of low revving, push-rod, large capacity motors? I don’t know why, but I have this strange suspicion that these machines will become very expensive.

Let’s be clear about which ones, I don’t mean an R100 from 1985: although I don’t believe you’ll pick those up for peanuts. I mean the R90/6 from 1974 to 1976 and the 1976 to 1979 R100/7 – the ones with the tiny handlebar fairing and the black or orange with the smoke silver paint job.
