No Reserve: 1974 BMW R90/6

The vehicle is a classic, no reserve 1974 BMW R90/6 motorcycle. Manufactured in the same year as many iconic achievements were made around the world—the fall of Nixon's resignation and the release of the first Apple computer—this bike is more than just a machine, it's a testament to history on two wheels. As you approach this vintage beauty, your gaze is drawn to its sleek, shiny black finish, untarnished by time or use, suggesting it has lived a pampered life in its home in Charleston, South Carolina. It stands tall and proud, not just due to its 32.5-inch seat height but also because of the robust 899 cc air-cooled flat-twin engine that lies at its heart. This classic beast boasts a four-speed transmission and a dry weight of around 465 lbs, providing an impressive power-to-weight ratio for a motorcycle of its era. The R90/6 is a rare find indeed, with only around 10,000 units produced in total during its production run from 1973 to 1976. This particular bike, with the serial number 6262851-49501, is not just any R90/6—it's a piece of history that’s ready for a new chapter in its journey.
