Limited Edition BMW R90S Screen Print

Description

Paiva printed the enhanced parts schematics at Brooklyn-based Have Press. Coincidentally, this is the same black-belt screenprinter we contracted for our own print series with illustrator Ryan Quickfall, and Haven Press is featured in the short film by @Serrini documenting the collaboration.

These BMW prints come sized for standard frames (11×17 and 18×24, respectively), and look great in just about any cheap black frame. Each one is individually signed numbered and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Why are we geeking out on these prints, too? The R90S is the undisputed unicorn of the BMW airhead lineup. Only produced for a few short years in the mid 70’s—the halcyon days of motorcycling, by any account—this is first BMW to come with dual disc brakes, the first to come with a bikini fairing from the factory; the only model to come with racier high-compression pistons; and the only bike in BMW Airhead to *not* come with Bing carburetors. 

Instead, the R90S came with a couple of throaty Italian jobs from Dellorto, trading the smooth and efficient vacuum-based Bings for the wet, thirsty and fire-breathing Dellortos.

The BMW R90S engine diagram is printed on an off off-white 100lb weight paper. Dimensions are 18×24. 

The PHM Dellorto Carburetor diagram, in all its geeky accelerator pump glory, is printed on 80lb weight French white paper. Dimensions are 11×17.

Each print is individually signed and numbered.
