So you are saying if we can pull this off and get ~100 RS's there next year, we will be the "star" of the Open house?
I would say so, since I am not sure there were even 100 bikes there. Just guessing though.

RS's at MOA open house
C. R., et al,
You and I are two, and that's a start. If I ride mine ~900 miles, across I-70 to St. Louis, others will come just to see our RS's.

Don't know about those type curves, but we will be the "belle of the ball" if we can get multiple RS's at the MOA Open House. AND Missouri/Arkansas/Kansas/Oklahoma have MANY of the regular "drag your pegs" type curves.
Get that 77 together and come on

My 76 R100RS, serial #608414 (UK model) is now resting comfortably in the front atrium of my house in Green Bay. But its ready to ride and I did get some miles on it last fall.
A few mods: sport cam, lightened flywheel, dual-plugged, Dyna ignition, 38mm Mikuni flat slide carbs. Starts easily and runs great.

Sounds like we could have a convoy ...
Curious about why you say it's a '76. You're missing a digit from your serial number or I'd check it myself. I think they only built 2-3 '76 prototypes and introduced the RS in '77.

BMW has always tagged their UK & EU models as the year prior to the US version. If you look in the records, you will see that the R90S is first listed as a 1973 model, the first K bikes are 1984, etc.
The records do show that the first R90S was built in 9/73, but that doesn't make it a 1973 model, does it? To me, build year and model year are two separate things. I believe it's clearly stated in other books that the R90S was first introduced as a 1974 model.
Tomato, tomahto??

It is BMW's history/policy to number model years in EU and UK as beginning the year prior to their US release. So a 1974 first year R90S inthe USA is classed as a 1973 in Europe or UK. All other models happen in the smae fashion. Not a production date issue, just a BMW behavior/choice/policy/procedure/whathaveyou. (My 2001 R1100S has a build date of July 2000, but if it had been sold in EU it would have been a 2000 model year machine).
no need to agree with BMW, or even to understand the "why", just accept it as "this is what it is".
which thus explains Andy's 1976 first year R100RS, UK issue.

Thanks Darrly, that is a nice collection of RS's. Maybe there will be more next year. If all goes well, mine will be there.
