Review
The 1973 BMW 90 S represents a higher-performance variant of the classic airhead BMW. Its 898cc boxer twin generates 67 horsepower at 7000 RPM, resulting in a noticeable power increase over the 90-6. This translates to a top speed of 196 km/h. The 5-speed gearbox is well-matched to the engine's characteristics, providing smooth and precise shifts. A larger 24-liter fuel tank provides extended range for longer journeys. Distinguished by its striking paint schemes and upgraded components, the 90 S features dual front disc brakes for improved stopping power. The ergonomics are similar to the 90-6, with a comfortable, upright riding position suitable for touring and everyday riding. The 90 S provides a slightly more aggressive riding experience. The BMW 90 S appeals to riders who want a classic motorcycle with a bit more performance and style. It is perfect for those who enjoy spirited rides and appreciate the heritage of BMW's airhead motorcycles. Its blend of performance, comfort, and classic aesthetics makes it a desirable machine for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
