BMW commissioned designer Hans Muth to oversee the R90S, which became the flagship of the boxer engine "/6" range. Sporting distinctive two-tone paintwork, a bikini fairing and a new tail, the R90S was intended to shrug off the enduring image of BMW bikes as staid and utilitarian. The 67 bhp (50 kW) R90S had a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h), it ran the quarter mile in around 13.5 seconds and it accelerated from 0 to 62 mph (0?100 km/h) in 4.8 seconds. Maximum torque was delivered at 5,500 rpm and the engine redlined at 7,200 rpm. The R90S' "airhead" engine was a pushrod OHV, two valves per "boxer" unit. The engine was based closely on the R75/5 sharing the same stroke, but with a larger bore, to give a capacity of 898cc. The R90S weighed 215 kg (474 lb) and has a five-speed gearbox with a shaft drive. The first R90S models had a two-tone paintwork scheme of "Smoke Black/Silver" with adhesive gold pinstripes. Feedba
