46. 1973 – 76 BMW R90S
The R90S is a 900 cc sport motorcycle produced from 1973 to 1976 by BMW. The company commissioned designer Hans Muth to oversee the development and production of the R90S, which became the flagship of the boxer-engined “/6” range. Sporting a distinctive two-tone paint job, a bikini fairing and a new tail, it was intended to shrug off the enduring image of BMW bikes as staid and utilitarian. The 67 bhp R90S had a top speed of 124 mph and it ran the quarter mile in around 13.5 seconds with 0 to 62 mph acceleration in 4.8 seconds. Maximum torque output is at 5,500 rpm and redlined at 7,200 rpm.
