1938 BMW R66

Introduced in 1938, the R66 was BMW's "sport roadster", and it was the pinnacle of their pre-WWII creations. It was designed to lug a sidecar around, but if you were only riding it as a two-wheeler then you could flirt with a top speed of 90 miles per hour thanks to an impressive-for-the-time power output of 30 ponies. Between '38 and '41, 1,669 examples were built.

Guess That Bike Revealed – Kawasaki’s New Model Edition

Unfortunately, nobody guessed the correct answer - which may have been because this is a "new model" that's not really new and not really a separate model.

Ride From Los Angeles to Alaska for $15/Day!

I've mentioned MotoQuest's "Transporter Specials" in the past, but this is one of the best deals I've seen from them. It's a simple premise - their rental business in Alaska is seasonal, so they'll give discounts for one way rentals to help move bikes to and from the Anchorage office as needed. They currently need to get some BMW GSes from Long Beach to Anchorage, and they're offering them for free - but there's a required $15/day cost for basic liability insurance. You're not going to find a cheaper rental for a trip like this!
