my winter hack has arrived

[turnipbmw]

check this beauty out

will still be using the 1200 now its covered in ACF50 but this will help keep the mileage down.

6100 miles £300, bought of original owner who purchased it aged 18 in 1981.

Jeez. That's a fairing and a half!

Heh heh,well done.

A bit of a polish and at the likes of the Stafford Show you could stick a grand on top of the price you paid .

I had one of those in 1979, it only lasted 6k miles before it threw a wobbler and holed the crankcase.


it was dull dull dull, should be fantastic as a winter hack

 

[turnipbmw]

just been playing with it, no rounded bolts, nothing seized, found toolkit and owners manual under seat, stripped carbs and they are spotless as is the inside of the tank - guess he must have run it out of fuel before storage.

All the wiring is as new - no green gunge etc in connectors.

well pleased

Off to get new battery now

 

[turnipbmw]

fitted new battery, changed plugs and filled up fuel tank.

turned bike on, pressed starter, bike started.

left on choke for a couple of mins, turned it of, bike ticked over.

actually sounds quite powerful

had a look on Dave Silver spares website, boy are the bits for these things cheap after 23 years BMW ownership !!
