Ive been offered one of these ,could someone please tell me how much something like this is worth,it was built to compete in the paris to dakar rally in 2003 but was not entered in the end
. They basically take a new BMWF650 GS Dakar, then strip all the non-competition parts off it and rebuild with all Rallye enduro spec equipment. The engine/gearbox I believe is basically left standard, as they don't want to lose the reliability of the engine for rally’s.
I do think that the engine has been back to BMW/Schalber in Germany for prep though, but have been told that the only thing they do performance wise is to gas-flow the head, and then rebuild and blueprint the engine. All the standard service parts you can get through any dealer, I have a new filters/plugs to go with it. I changed the cush drive for the MoT, but apart from that the bike is in fantastic condition. It has only done about 1400 miles, while the original owner was running it in. All the equipment is like new, and it hasn't been out in the rain since I have had it. I have the original Titanium Silencer, but have a replacement road legal one for general use. It comes with road-book and Rallye computer, and power connection for GPS; it has 5 petrol tanks and holds enough fuel for approx500 miles, which I believe is a Dakar requirement. In general the Rallye kit is of outstanding quality as most attachments are either aircraft spec or manufactured from solid aluminium billets. All the old stuff that was taken off to build the bike I don't have as I think the guy who had the bike built, sold them to try and recoup some of his 22K.
Performance wise, the bike is fast for a single 650, it keeps on revving and pulling all the way past legal speeds, and it sounds really nice once spinning even with the road legal pipe. The tyres are brand new, and if wanted you can have the desserts that come with it, but they are a little bit squared off.
All the details of the kit are on www.touratech.co.uk, but to set up properly I can see why the guy got professionals to prepare for him.
I can photo anything extra you want to look at, just say.
