BMW R 90/6

When the revised /6 Series was launched in 1973, BMW was marketing two new models in the prestigious 900 cc capacity class. One of these models was the BMW R 90/6, which appealed to enthusiasts of long-distance motorcycle trips as a comfortable and torquey tourer. This was the world's first motorcycle to be equipped with H4 light as standard in what was an innovation for the time. The new design and high level of performance provided by the R 90 S meant that the R 90/6 tended to be in the shadow of its sporting peer motorcycle. However, despite this initial setback the technically advanced model has turned into a real insider tip among twin-valve Boxer fans.
