Another lovely BMW Airhead, just in.
It seems to be getting harder and harder to acquire nice, original airhead boxers, so we’re delighted to have just taken this one into stock.
We’ll be assessing and riding the bike over the next few days, but first impressions are excellent. The motor fires readily from cold or hot, with non of the usual Boxer smoke. Oil, charge, and neutral lights operate as they should. A quick spin out reminded me of just how effective the RT fairings are, and being the monoshock, the suspension, and those twin Brembo brakes up front make for assured and rapid progress.
This one is very, very clean and original, and despite the much used word “patina” cropping up in adverts nowadays, i think that in this case it fits perfectly. Even that lovely silver coachwork, complete with fading, hand painted factory coachlines, is original.
As i say, we’ll be riding and assessing the bike this week, so please feel free to give me a bell and register your interest, or have a chat about any of our other boxers. Please ring prior to travelling, as we’d hate to disappoint.

This one has just arrived, and has come to us from long term storage.
It’s a while since we’ve seen one quite as original as this, and despite its age and mileage, it carries its original paint to both bodywork, and frame.
Please just ask if you’d like me to forward you some pics of that bike that .....
