BMW R90/S 1974
What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?
The introduction of the /5 series in 1969 marked a new era for BMW with new machines, such as the R75, marking a radical departure from previous BMW practice. Bright colours, a splash of chrome, light frames and resolute engines all added up to quick, good handling machines that retained the reliability and quality of the previous models. In 1974, to keep pace with the competition, the R90/S was introduced. Its 900cc engine fed 9.5:1 pistons through 38mm Dell'Orto pumper carbs and it used a new five-speed transmission to propel its 500 pounds (wet) through a quarter-mile in a mere 13 seconds.
