I really hope you do more voiceover work in my opinion it was very informative about the bike and definitely added to the video.
That is a beautiful bike I really like it definitely worth the price
Nice video, thanks👍
Yes these old type 247 airhead BMW boxers, are anong the most reliable bikes ever build!
Since 1978 drive ny own 900cc R90S. Never, ever let me down. 200.000 kilometers on the clock! Without any bigger repairs, only regulary and scheduled maintenance. Such iron horse Beemmers deserves a regulary hug, though:-)
Ride safe 👍 and
all the best!

The toaster tank, only year 1973. Had a 71 R75 for many many years. Great bikes. I drove mine after pulling a valve through one of the cyl heads from York Pa to Hammond In, It never failed me. Sold it when I bought my New 1999 Moto Guzzi Bassa 1100. Wish I had it back. If you didn't already you have to sync the Carbs with a vacuum stick to get the best performance out of them.
Had a 1974 R75/6,best bike I ever had.Should never had sold it.
Glad you have an Airhead! had a R90/6 for about 19 years. Great bikes. They love to be ridden many miles.
Super nice scoot. Great runners. And last forever. Making bunch ride videos for my channel this year. Keep up the great work
Nice old ride. Lot's of fun riding an older bike. People always want to know about them. 🤟😎
Yes, the commentary and history was a great addition. Nice bike, but I'm more into street and trail. It's funny you mention highet. I have to tippy toe on my Honda 650L. Can't wait for more car & truck videos. Keep on ridding.👍
Nice boxer twin, always thought they were the smoothest ride. Had a R100RS, long time ago, was a pleasure to ride. Sure, my buddies with 4 cyl, could get ya outta the hole, but you'd blow by on the mid & upper end, lol! Met A grandpa that rode an R100RTback in the early 80's, that had well over 250k riding coast to coast visiting kids & grandkids, other than maintenance & tires, his only issue was a shaft seal that had leaked A little...
Definitely enjoy the commentary, info & history, enjoy that classic for decades to come! Thanx !
Love seeing yall get old stuff back on the road. Gives me hope on all my projects
One thing about the old airheads is once you adapt to the them you will enjoy that bike more than any other bike.
Ike, I really liked the narration! Just what I was hoping you would do with this one! Super interesting!
Man that bike sounds like it rolled off the factory floor. And looks super clean.
Thats a sharp unit. Nothing beats the open road on or in a classic ride, nice work
Sweet bile Ike, it's in great shape obviously kept in a garage, I remember as a kid seeing these around during the 70's here at home and the shaft drive on BMW bikes have been known to last well over 100k when you take care of them with regular maintenance and don't ride the crap out of them, this was shared with us by a neighbour who owned several of these BMW's until he gave up his bike license at the age of 86 years old, he road bike during WW2 as a courier which was always a wild ride, I had an uncle who did the same 👍Oh ya i am definitely jealous of your weather, here in Winnipeg it is warmer than usual 30 degrees now, it'll be 8 weeks before we see any blossoms on our trees
Don't change anything Ike, just look after it and you will not regret owning it. I love the power delivery of the boxer engine, effortless. Good find at $2300
I'm so glad that you started talking over the video Isaac because looking at the just the front wheel and hearing wind noise wasn't that good. Anyway it's another avenue for you to explore and I wouldn't mind seeing something more of this ilk buddy. I hope things are looking up for you and of course you are in my thoughts. Take care dude. ✌️👍🇬🇧
Beautiful Bike! they say riding a Motorcycle is like an art Something you do because you feel something inside. thanks for sharing... watching here from the Philippines.
Love the airheads, sir
Always love those bikes because it's like they shoved a twin cylinder airplane engine in a motorcycle frame I love the looks of the jugs hanging out the side I don't know how comfortable it would be to ride personally I feel like I'd burn the hell out of my legs on the heads but definitely a gorgeous bike
I've wanted one since I was stationed in Germany 1990. Nice find.
I've had the same model for over a decade and I'll never get rid of it. Such a great bike! Btw, you can tell if it's long wheel base if there's a 1-2 inch collar welded into the swing arm. Looks like someone cut it and welded on an extension. LWB is a much smoother ride but the SWB model is a little more fun in the twisties.
Another great video Ike 👍. Brings back memories for this Old Man. Hope to see some day. 🛵🧔💝
Sweet bike! Great job on the edit and walk around at the end. ✨✅✨
Yea Boy what a Good Looking Bike!
Loved the video, it was so good to hear the history of the bike and what you though and that you wanted this model bike.
Thanks for sharing, being a fellow rider I diggit ☮️
The bike is beautiful and I love the voice over I could hear everything you were saying it was good. good 😊 luck with the bike Isaac
That’s a very nice BMW motorcycle, Isaac. I liked the commentary. Have a great weekend.
Nice score, Isaac! I like the color, too; my '00 F150 is Amazon Green Metallic. :)
Sexy bike! The commentary was important for the back story on it. Love the green too
Glad to see you got a BMW i had the rs1000 touring bike and i put a lot of 4 cylinder rice burners to shame with full saddle bags and trunk. And i am sure you know what BMW stands for Best Motorcycle in the World...
Excellent video Issac :) also this bike doing well for sure and more information about the bike be great to hear about! Think you did excellent job for price and light TLC to it get going too! Like mellow sounds on video too and keep in tip top shape too!
definitely a sweet bike
Yeah man, cool commentary of info on this really nice bike, Isaac!
Nice bike glad to see part too of this bike . Oh nice music 🎶 felt like I was in B M W comurshall 😁
So jealous lol. I love those older bikes.
A lot of class in that bike.
Love bmw bikes. I’ve had a r1150r and currently have a r1200rt
She polished up real nice!
I like the voice over commentary. Keep up the good work!
Great classic bike. Just don't see them much anymore. Thanks for the videos! 👍👍
I owned a BMW K100 which i enjoyed very much. But then i did a test ride on an R80RT , similar aircooled boxer bike. I cleanly remember how leight that bike felt after stepping off the K100. Sadly those aircooled BMW's are getting more pricey as the years pass. Out of reach for many people. I would love to own an R80GS (offroad/allroad version)
nice bike, i wouldnt mind finding something like that and fixing it up to ride. pretty cool. hope you bring more motorcycles to your content in the future.
I have admired the opposed cylender BMW for years but never had one. My favorite bike was a 1975 Honda 400 Supersport.
Nice that you gave the info on the bike.
Great bike great video..
Thoughts are with u Ike. Oregon awaits a visit
Great bike man, such a cool choice keeping it stock,thanks for showing us. When you get a chance, compare legitimately advertised motorcycle gloves to the Mechanix mpact gloves . I do have moto gloves but usually wear mpacts.
That's a cool old bike. Nice you could revive it. I am super jelly of your weather. We just got dumped on with snow in Southern Wisconsin. I'm itching to get my bike out.
a dream bike for me,very nice.
Brilliant bike, and a reasonable price imho. Just enjoy it.
Really cool bike I like it. Great video ike. I prefer these older bmw motorcycles vs the new ones
Glove up Buttercup..
Allsome stuff bud😊👍🦇🎉🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Looking Good Isaac !!!
Bike is looking great Ike.
Great content and love the format
Guess which muppet burnt her leg on the exhaust first time she rode pillion- that'll be me! Never did it again though 😜. Liked the commentary Ike..
That seat looks so good no wonder you don't want to break that leather
That's a cool motorcycle! I liked the stats you gave about the bikes also!
I love these old BMW motorcycles. It cleaned up nice. 👍
Saddle soap works great on a motorcycle seat. Softens the material
That's a sweet looking bike
Nice bike brother!! Luv the green.
i just started hanging with some people the call themselves the TEXAS Tidlers. just a group of small bike riders mostly 300 CC and smaller. and old bikes. but there is one guy that i think is restoring that same bike. it looks just like it. and i think it might be the same year. but they are growing and the way you and the rest of the crew likes to ride small bikes also maybe you would want to look into it. and i think in the next few years. they may expand towards the east coast.
Man those mirrors are rock steady. Every bike I've ever rode the mirrors shake at least a little
Love taking a ride with ya!
Looks great!
I liked this video and it would be cool to see you do that with your Harley.
I enjoyed the commentary 👌 nice job
I like the curves/twisties too - mostly in 4 wheel vehicles but still fun
great stuff thanks
Loved the commentary
It's so hilarious how that bike sounds so much like a 2CV when riding, granted it's cos both are aircooled twins, but it still amuses me (I'm a simple fella!)... :P
(Though fun-fact, pre-WWII when the 2CV was in prototyping stages, they used watercooled bmw bike engines in their TPV test platforms, and post-WWII, Citroen developed their own engine loosely based on the air-cooled bmw bike engines)
Nice bike!
What a BEAutiful bike.It's a keeper for sure.Total clean and detail with waxing then just enjoy it.I'd find a period correct short windshield just for the bugs,and highway buffeting on long trip.But that's just me I guess.(my bud took his on his 1st highway trip of 200-ish miles and swore he wouldn't again because of the wind,but loved it around town and short excursions)
Beautiful bike man! I hope to one day get my dad's 77 Honda cb550 4k going again hard to find parts for the old bikes
Love that bike
Great Ride, let's do it again soon 😎
For sure!!
I'm not familiar with BMW bikes, but I agree that this one is a real looker. The gas tank is my favorite piece. They just don't make stuff that looks like that anymore. The engine is fascinating....a big chunk of metal with a couple cylinders hanging off of it. Looks like it moves out pretty good. 4.7 gallons and that big ol' engine....what's the machine weigh?? Too big for my small frame, but I'll bet it rides good. Nice work!
It weighs about 450ish
love the commentary
Commentary is great
Coll bike I'm sure there are not alot of those still out there.
Like the green paint
The commentary was great
I have a 1974ish powerdyne motorcycle they say that only maybe 300 were made it would be great if you could do something with it on cars and cameras I would donate it to the show
I cant wait another month to go by to get the KLR out.-19c here today no riding yet.
You may wanna check your timing, I’d say that’s where the kickback is coming from.
A motorcycle for those who ride for the joy of riding, not racing, stunting or bar hopping. Fill it up, check the oil, put on your gear and just ride!
Sweet bike! Now let's do something with that zippy Chevette.
Love my R100 Cafe racer.
Ike, maybe the kickback on starting are stuck mechanical advance weights!
He should for sure check the points gap and the advance mechanism.
sounds like the timing might be a little advanced, even with the electric starter sounds like its kicking back a little. nice bike though.
WhatUp homie !
Clear visors and shades.. so American.
If it has points the timing might be too far advanced. That’s why it kicks back when kick starting
No it's called compression and no compression release. Gotta b smarter than the actual motor is all. If was overly advanced would hear it under a load when riding it.
I had a 1973 DT360 that kicked back until I got the timing right.
That is a sweet bike, your doing the right thing just leaving it as is.
While your in the European bike mood will you be looking at the Triumph any time soon?
I need too
As for the crispy seat use either mink oil or pork belly grease.
The helmet cam needed to be pointed up a dit. I think the timing is off just a bit on the bike. Listen to it.
Sweet. I'm jealous.
