Title: Brand New 2014 R90S
Post by: Julio A. on March 23, 2014, 08:22:59 AM

Some dealers went together to build a  R90S from brand new original BMW parts. It's an almost perfect build, but the non period starter cover is an eye sore for me.

The three Max BMW stores in the n'eastern USA spent $46,000.00+ on parts -probably at their dealer cost- to put this promotional piece together. I believe it's still for sale at a rather eye-watering price.

That is phenomenal!  I dunno if I'd want one that bad, though...  Now, if BMW would put together a "kit" for between $15000 - $20000...

Look close at the blueing on the exhaust headers and you'll see it's just a look a like.  Some impressive stunts though, especially on a 4o yr old bike.
