HIGHLIGHTS
- Iconic Boxer-engined BMW Touring bike
- Family owned since 1992
- Completely original and unrestored
- Great mechanical order
THE APPEAL
Introduced in 1973 in order to reinvigorate BMW’s motorcycle business, the R90S was a modern, sporting bike with a dose of styling flair, answering criticisms that the company’s bike range was rather staid and ordinary, albeit beautifully engineered.
The 900cc Boxer Twin was a sports-style bike designed Hans Muth, which became the flagship of the boxer-engined range. It came with distinctive two-tone paintwork, a bikini fairing and a new tail.
It was a lively beast, too. Accompanied by an unmistakable flat-twin bark, the R90S would hit 60mph from a standstill in little over four seconds, with a top speed of 124mph. It’s still a fast and rewarding bike to rode today, half a century after it first appeared.
This one was owned by the vendor’s brother-in-law from 1992 until 2021, a time-served motorcycle and precision engineer. It was his pride and joy.
On his passing, his family decided to have it professionally re-commissioned. The braking and fuel delivery systems were completely rebuilt, as well as all fluids and related seals and gaskets renewed. Over £2,000 in total was spent.
While the vendor has a sentimental attachment to the bike and is reluctant to sell it, at the age of 80 he has decided it needs a new home with a younger enthusiast who will give it the use it deserves.
The bike is in show condition, but has never been restored - just always meticulously cared for. The bike is offered for sale in fully functional condition, with no known mechanical issues, and is largely original.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
