They say the 90s are cool again! Well, here’s a PROJECT BIKE that can serve as your personal Time Machine. Use it to relive the glory that was your reckless youth. What? You say you weren’t so reckless in those days — but you always wanted to be? Then we gladly offer you this low-cost, low-risk way to revive your inner recklessness. This merely 28-year-old BMW R850R is a mild-mannered, mid-displacement roadster that STARTS and RUNS, and is in pretty good overall condition right now. Essentially, it’s a PROJECT BIKE that doesn’t ask much of its new owner to bring back to the safe and roadworthy riding pleasures it was meant to provide.  Learn more now simply by calling 1-888-269-2627 to speak with one of our Certified Sales Advisors — Jim, Paul, George, or Todd. Call TODAY!

As with all PROJECT BIKES we want buyers to know as much as possible about the bike before making a purchase. We’ve nothing to hide and our only goal is that each new owner feels they paid fairly and got good VALUE in the deal. We encourage you to call, schedule a time to meet with one of our sales advisors, and inspect the machine in person to fully understand all the positives as well as the potential downsides involved in the refurbishing process. Please take a moment to learn more about Bob’s PROJECT BIKE program HERE.

The cosmetic condition of this PROJECT BIKE is decent. The bike, one of the venerable “Oil-head” models from the 90s, is obviously not pristine, but it has no serious issues. You will see some scratches on the tank, various places on the chassis where paint has chipped or faded, and a few instances of surface corrosion in the usual places. The bike was photographed still wet from the bath we gave it, yet it’s easy to see that you could spend some more time doing further deep cleaning and polishing to bring the bike’s appearance up to its highest potential. But that’s the good news: whatever cosmetic restoration the bike may need is almost all easily done.

Mechanically, the story is much the same. This PROJECT BIKE, while having no major concerns that we’re aware of, will nevertheless require the “routine” maintenance that wasn’t done in recent years. At the very least, plan on changing all fluids and filters, checking valve clearances, and making a host of adjustments to all its vital functions. The tires are no longer fresh and should be renewed sooner rather than later. These things are simple, though, and well within the skill set of most do-it-yourself home mechanics.

With this PROJECT BIKE, there’s only a short distance to long-term safe and satisfying riding. Come in and check it out NOW!
