Years
1973 - 1976
The 1973-1976 R 90/6 is the 898 cc 44 kW touring boxer with Bing carburettors, single front disc, five-speed gearbox and shaft drive. It is the comfortable R 90, not the higher-tuned and differently equipped R 90 S.
The 1973-1976 BMW R 90/6 is the comfortable 900 cc touring boxer of the /6 series. Its air-cooled 898 cc twin produces 44 kW (60 hp), has a five-speed gearbox, shaft drive and was the first motorcycle fitted with H4 lighting as standard. It is aimed at long distances and torquey, relaxed riding; that distinguishes it from the R 90 S, which has its own sporting engine tune, equipment and profile.
A good R 90/6 is a usable classic, but confirm type, year and original specification before comparing it with an S or later R 100 model. Check servicing, pushrod seals and valve train, Bing carburettors, clutch/five-speed gearbox and shaft. Also test the single front disc, swingarm and 12V charging system. The standard 18-litre tank could be replaced by an optional 22-litre tank, so tank size alone does not identify the version.
