[Rob Farmer]

Fecking ace! What a great thing to be involved with

I fear for some of those "made in China" parts though. Had a few of those to contend with recently.

[jackassdave]

i havent read the whole blog thing yet but do they say how much it will cost ?

nice.

What a great idea. Tuned in and ready to go - guessing that Day 3 of the build will start anytime now?

Blog doesn't mention cost of the build but if I had to guess I'd say somewhere in the region of 40K?! I remember a UK bike mag building a fireblade or GSXR out of new spares a few years ago and the cost was similar.

You watching this Peeping Tom? Your R90S build is also going to take 3 days right?!

The Mobile tradition part of the company has been growing in strength for cars and bikes http://shop.bmw-classic.com/index-ClassicDE-WFS-en_EU-EUR.html

A master cylinder for my GS PD I bought recently is now made by Grimeca instead of Brembo. Looks identical to the original apart from the discrete Grimeca badge.
