    The "No key for fuel tank" would probably be the hardest part.

    Did that model have any specialised and now unobtainable electronics?

    To the best of my knowledge - no. Charging side is stock Honda. Several ignition boxes of varying levels of tune/revs available. TCI ignition.
    Gauges are analogue, Suspension basic non electronic. No antilock.

    I've seen that bike - its very well done particularly compared to some of the "I have a cutoff wheel on my grinder and I'm not afraid to use it, also a rattle can of flat black paint, it'll be sick as bro!" brigade.

    I particularly like the cut and welded bend in the frame tube around the top of the shock.

    Presumably doesn't have a current wof as not mentioned, and suspect maybe not lams approved any more after being modified?

    All the people that advertise modified bikes as LAMs need a good beating, as soon as any mod is made that changes the power to weight ratio it is no longer LAMs approved

    as per the NZTA

    "These motorcycles must be in standard form as produced by the manufacturer. They cannot be modified in any way to increase the power-to-weight ratio"

    "Any motorcycle modified in a way that increases its power-to-weight ratio is not LAMS-approved, regardless of whether it appears on the LAMS-approved list"


    Slip on mufflers are allowed

    I'd think that subframe may need cert as well but being a bolt on bit might be a way around it
    "If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

    Don't know if this really qualifies as an optimistic seller or not.

    The LSR sidecar outfit we know as the Flying Kiwi is currently for sale in the US on Bring A Trailer.

    No reserve and the current bid is $US10,500. Currently painted orange....

    I agree it looks well finished, but

    -Why on a bmw650? and,
    -A bad idea made with some skill is still a bad idea.

    I know, right? I think its because we have all seen the 46 works build videos and think "Yes, yes, I need to do that". Except none of us are Zen masters, living in perfect harmony with nature in rural Japan, honing a lifetime of skill, dedication and talent into moulding nuggets of 70's Euro weirdness into beautiful pieces of art, that go. Purely because of that I find myself looking at old Moto Guzzi's going "I wonder how hard that would be to live with, really".

    Only if you've experienced a proper bike. Then it will be SR400 but with really annoying quirks.

    The street qualifies in spades as proper . But try a 765.
