Looks like a R1200s with R nine T front end and R100 gas tank.

It looks like a BMW R Nine T. Cool bikes that you can customize, with the help of BMW, to be almost anything you want.

Go for it! I felt the same as you. I lost out on a few over the years and decided the time is now. The market is soft on British bikes so you have that in your favor.

Because we're talking British bikes, here's my other Brit. A 1964, T120R Triumph Bonneville. You gotta love those parallel twins!

Im not a road bike guy but iv got 12 acres of woods I putter around on with dirtbikes and minibikes for the past 30 something years. This Rockford tora I pulled off the scrap pile at the junk yard 20 years ago. The first engine was junk so it sat around for 5 years without an engine. I tried a sachs saxonette engine but that was junk. Then my brother cobbled a yamaha 175 on it. It was pretty wild. It didnt have 2nd gear and only ran on choke because if you let off the choke it would run away. Only had a front brake and a kill switch to slow you down. We rode it like that for a long time. Then I got a piranah honda clone engine 90cc withe semi auto 4 speed and that was the ticket. Its perfect. It will do anything and everything I want it to do and with low psi in the tire and 140lbs its like a trials bike. Or what I imagine they are like. Definately my favorite bike Iv ever had.

Nice! I have Ohlins on the rear of my Roadglide.
If you have not one the front yet I cannot recommend Legend enough. Completely changed mine with the Ohlins. |

My Widowmaker is up better than my 911 percentage wise. That one is a bit high priced, but who knows in the upcoming year.
