The R90s BMW was an OHV, two valve per cylinder, air cooled flat twin, or boxer engined motorcycle weighing 215 kg and running a five speed gearbox through a shaft final drive. The model was an extension of the previous 750cc series /5 machines. The R90s was one of two 900cc models introduced in 1973 (1974 in Australia); the other being this bike, 900cc version of the existing R75/6 machine, the R90/6.

The bike also possesses an adjustable hydraulic steering damper activated via a knob located on the steering head. Suspension is by telescopic forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear. The rear dampers were adjustable for preload, which is the only suspension adjustment available. Aftermarket fork gaitors are often fitted to the bike but are not required due to the relative hardness of the fork stanchions.
