$500,000 for real 170mph boxer?
Too rich for my wallet:
1939 BMW RS 255 Kompressor Chassis no. 2 Engine no. 16152 " Gilera, took top honors in 1937 (170.27mph), before BMW snatched the title again later that year (173.68mph), which it retained until 1951." Bonhams 1793 : 1939 BMW RS 255 Kompressor Chassis no. 2 Engine no. 16152 Some of you lads were probably around when it was made.... Scary stuff. |

Those men back in those days were incredibly brave. The lack of tire technology alone would scare me off.
