Nice old Beemer

TTR · Powermonger!!

I had a red Beemer that model but not anywhere near as pretty! Lovely bike to ride but never really fancied laning it so sold it on.

Olly Cooke bought it off me. I know he recently put a years MOT on it and was thinking of selling. Don't think he wants a lot for it.

I like Airhead BMWs as they're simple and go on forever. Despite being an ST (road bike) that's been turned into a GS (the original 'adventure trailie') it's still very similar to Sam Manicom's bike which has done 250,000 miles and is on the original clutch!

The fork mod look good but not sure how compatible it will be with a standard rear shock which will have considerably less travel than a DRZ; long-travel front, short-travel rear - what will that do to the handling? The specs I have to hand are that the ST had travel of 6.88" front and a 6.02" rear while the DRZ is 10.2" front and rear.

Still, I'd find garage space for it - but not at that price!

Cheers,

John
