Folks, I have a chance to buy R26 in a bit rough condition. The engine runs (I heared it, it looks like nver been disassembled), but I could not try the bike...
Try the half... 1000 Euros should be enough, given the poor shape of the bike. And you'll have a bit of money to put in it. Regards. JD ... Try the half......
Martin, Estimated cost for repair will at least be euro 2000. Merchant value if repaired about 3000 euro. The price you offer depends on the value of the fun...
Given the condition, that would be a high price in the U.S. I believe it is more difficult to find the singles in good condition in Europe though. General...
Hi Martin I paid £500 for my R26 in the UK, in slightly worse condition (engine not running but good compression) but a similar number of parts missing. I...
Kim, Not sure where you are but I buy my tyres at a local shop that's associated with the Beaulieu Motor Museum: http://www.vintagetyres.com/vts/default.asp ...

Does anyone know what the developments were going to be on the R28? I read about it in a BMW buyers Guide and was wondering what BMW were planning before they...
I am thinking of doing a little offroad touring on my R27 What tyres would be good?? with 18" Front and Rear how does the Metzeller enduro 1's sound?? Pezz :)...

Hello Pezz, I think you're pretty much stuck with what you have in the way of shock travel. There are benefits to dual plugging the head on your R27. Improved...

Hi, About double plugging, you certainly will put an danger no the head: it's not as strong as it coul d seem, and I know of broken heads. Be careful about...
... Never have seen a larger tank. A Harro tank bag can be used on top of the tank. A Denfeld folding rack is of main importance; they are very strong and can...
A Denfeld rack on the back can sure come in handy, I use mine to carry all sorts of stuff. I did find that soft side stuff tended to ride quieter, a little ...
There's a picture of an R27 with a 22L Hoske tank on "John's Beemer Garage" site. Probably one of the more rare tanks, but can you imagine the cruising...
