BMW R90S – The Motorcycle That Put BMW On The Performance Map
When BMW introduced the R90S in 1973, it transformed the company's image almost overnight.
Until then, BMW motorcycles were widely respected for reliability and long-distance comfort, but the R90S added something new to the formula – genuine performance.
Powered by a 898cc boxer twin engine, the R90S delivered impressive speed, strong torque and outstanding stability. Its distinctive cockpit fairing and sporty styling helped create one of the most recognisable motorcycles of the decade.
The R90S also proved its ability on the racetrack, helping BMW establish itself as a serious performance motorcycle manufacturer.
Today the R90S remains one of the most collectable BMW motorcycles ever built and is admired for its engineering, originality and timeless design.
More than fifty years after its launch, it still looks every bit as special as it did in the showroom.
