1974 BMW R90-6RS for sale - $1000 (Mt. View, Hawaii Island)

1974 BMW R90-6RS complete basket for sale. 90% apart. Full fairing. Twin-plug heads. Under 30,000 on the odo. Can ship at your expense anywhere. Ran 125MPH with 2 up last time I drove it. Smooth & straight. Hate to sell it but I will never get it back together; too old & too tired. Great rare project for an enthusiast with skill. I will not take offers...$1000.00 cash FIRM.

Might make a nice cafe... any thoughts? THANKS! Don

Sounds fair to me. I'd like it for myself it it wasn't so far away.

Too bad it's half an ocean away, definitely sounds like a good deal.

You could sell the parts on e-bay for 4 or 5 times that amount if you had the time & energy.

Do you even wonder about relative prices when you live on an island?

YES! thats the only way to survive around here Dave! I make a decent living, but it really costs about 33% more to live here, so ya gotta live simply and shop around (my motto is "never pay full price for anything" I leaned that from a millionaire buddy).... On the big island, about 1/3 work for the government, 1/3 self employed or small biz (like me), and 1/3 on some kinda welfare. Its paradise!
