The BMW R90/6 was introduced in 1974 alongside the R90S - a motorcycle that would go on to win the first ever AMA Superbike World Championship in 1976.
This immaculate example of the Hans Muth-designed BMW R90/6 was recently sold in Tokyo by Ritmo Sereno ('Serene Pace'). The upscale workshop has the glacial cool of a Porsche showroom, but specialises in mint BMWs and Moto Guzzis from the 70s to the 90s. The stock list is always worth checking, along with the portfolio of tastefully tweaked Euro custom bikes.

You know you’re doing something right when you’re based in London and get a commission from a German enthusiast to build a BMW. The compliment was paid to Untitled Motorcycles and this is the result: a very classy 1975 BMW R90/6 custom. Untitled built the machine for Antonius from Essen. And it was no easy task: the R90 would have to pass the strict German TÜV test to make it road-legal. After years of riding modern Triumphs, Moto Guzzis and BMWs, Antonius, 51, hankered after an old two-valve boxer BMW. “While searching the internet I discovered Untitled Motorcycles by chance,”

After five long years in the motorcycle blogging game, we’d like to think that there’s pretty much nothing we haven’t done. Electric bikes? Been there.

Some custom motorcycles are so outlandish that they grab your attention immediately, while some are so understated and classy that, once you notice them, you can't look away. Case in point: Cafe Racer Dreams' #38. This stunning '74 BMW R90/6 belongs to José Martín Espinosa, a prominent figure in the Spanish fashion industry. He commissioned this BMW cafe racer after a series of email conversations with CRD and a couple of visits to their Madrid headquarters, fully entrusting the creative direction to them. The BMW's stance has been altered by shortening the forks and swapping out the rear suspension for

1976 BMW R90/6 - R100/6 Classic
You don't see many of these around. It's a vintage BMW motorbike given the classic bobber treatment by Mark van der Kwaak of DBBP-Design in the Netherlands, with help from his friend Aad Heemskerk. The engine is from a 1976 BMW R90/S, with Stromberg carbs feeding through custom-made manifolds. The frame is mostly new, with some oval tapered pieces rescued from a 1951 BMW. And yes, the front end looks more familiar: it's a 45' H-D Springer. Other parts were sourced from swap meets or built by Crime Scene Choppers using CAD plans created by Mark.
Most customizers take themselves very seriously. But Kurt Walter of ICON doesn't. This BMW R90/6 comes with a military vibe and a heavy dose of irony.
A textbook restomod for a 43-year-old icon. Analog Motorcycles gave this R90 more power, better handling and modern electrics—without dropping style points.
