Photos as ever can be a bit deceptive.

Looks like an important part has fallen off and rolled underneath…..

From the angle the photo was taken it does look like the gearbox is out,
But I can assure you the box is fitted and complete

Got some more photos,
Wheels are nice,
Just need a good clean

mikeyboy · Nov 12, 2021

Paintwork has been redone at some point,the finish is kinda ok but I’ve seen better :comfort

mikeyboy · Nov 12, 2021

The starter motor is missing,so no attempt has been made by me to run the bike,
I’ve had a torch down the spark plug holes and the bores look ok,
The engine turns over and has compression.

mikeyboy · Nov 12, 2021

The bike has come South Africa,so there is very little damp corrosion.
I have the nova cert and a dating cert from bmw,it’s a 1975 build.
The seat base is very good.
Generally the bike is good,
An ideal restoration project or just recommission,wipe its arse with an oily rag and ride it :thumby:

mikeyboy · Nov 12, 2021

Oh ,forgot.
It’s got Rs bars fitted and some crappy mirrors that really don’t work with the S fairing.
Dosnt appear to be any leaks from the under tank master cyl,lever is firm and the brakes work.

Well, this bike is about to make a reappearance and I'll tell a story here! It's been on a journey since November 2021 but is soon to be back on the road.

Another one here - Crack on...

King Rat · Jan 21, 2023

I am not a fan of the 90s, because of those horrible brakes. Yes, they are horrible, I had them on my first RS and could never get them to work as I wanted.... swapped for a Brembo one as soon as they came out! BUT, I love to see them in other peoples' hands.

I shall watch with avid interest. :beerjug:
