On pure performance. BMW's R90S was not
the fastest superbike of the mid-1970s.
Nor was it the quickest around a racetrack:
at least, not often. But for a rider with
a long distance to travel on straight roads
and twisty ones, there was nothing on two
wheels that would prove faster or more comfortable
than the uniquely well-equipped flat twin. |

The BMW's distinctive smoked paint scheme
was perfectly in keeping with its image
as a very refined and expensive sports-tourer.
In many respects, the R90S was the best
all-round superbike of its day. Certainly,
no other production machine could match
its combination of I25mph (2()lkm/h) top
speed, relaxed high-speed cruising ability,
fine handling, reliability and impeccable
finish. |
