1974 BMW R90/6 review from United States of America
"Like an old friend - lots of fond memories"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
No problems other than need for restoration after 30 years under a blanket in the garage.
General comments?
Quiet ride and Wixom frame mounted fairing makes it a good tourer.
Rode on weekends in rural NJ and NY in the 1970's; now riding it in the Seacoast NH area. Back in the 70's, riding this bike was like sending my brain to the dry cleaners after a week of commuting in an American Motors Matador in rush hour traffic, to/from and working in NYC.
