That's the bike they have in Motomart. Must've put it up on Trademe since its been sitting in their showroom for a while. Awesome bike though

I'd get that Beemer just cause its hideous. Dare to be different

There's a good article in the latest Performance Bikes (which is getting back to it's glorys days of Good Bike Stuff, with a new editor et al.). It's all about Padgetts bike shop in the UK. All sorts of modern and antique bikes available. '74 TZ750, brand new, in the crate. Brand new 98 R1, 0 miles 1987 FZR750, out of the box RG500, RD500 and RD250LC's. Parts galore - Brand new crank, carbon disc and carbs for a YZR500. NSR500V's, Harris-Yamaha GP frames, WSB Bimota YB4 chassis (2 off) holding up a wall. Brand new HRC RC30 heads. Sportbike pornorama.

Helps to have run GP teams for 47 years apparently.

Well worth the 5 mins in the bookstore to have a drool (December issue)

A mate of mine had one of those for a while, same donk as his K100, similar performance too.
I rode it quite a few times neither of us were too impressed with it, they have a very narrow steering lock but that only affected it when you tried to turn around 180 degrees etc.
He didn't have it for very long. Cheers John.

Not a big fan of beems in general, but i'd ride an R80 over that thing anyday, low k's or not. A low K's CB1100R, or VF1000R, and I'd be in like Flynn (Errol Flynn that is)

With the optional luggage it would carry you and the missus (or somebody else's missus) all day at 200kph with some to spare.
Maybe 230 ish max. It'd need careful checking to see that nothing had corroded, like the tank for instance, but it could be a good buy if the price was right.

I remember them being quite cutting edge when they first came out,maybe its just me, anyway I think they would look ok if you changed the front fender out for something less boxy.

**Groins_NZ** · 3rd January 2006, 09:25

I agree that it's more interesting than ugly. The design of the bike, from front to back, looks quite good except for the front guard which throws it out.

Anyone know how much they weighed? Nevermind, looked on the net and found this... !
