What ya got then????

[Fanum]

Thanks to BHT for the new Brick section

Let's get this baby populated- List what ya got and so on.

I've got a K100RS, 1989 on a G plate, which used to be a St.Eptoe loaner, so like the college tart, I bet a LOT of you guys have ridden her

Smoooooth.....(Smoother than my only previous 4 potter, a 550 Zephyr) and although it's taken me a few weeks to get used to that really linear power delivery, I'm liking it a lot now

Will get some pics up soon, probably as a 'before' and 'after' type thread, as although I'm going to be using this as a daily winter commuter, I'm going to give it some TLC because it's cosmetically as challenged as the Hunchback of Notre Dame after ten round with 'The Hulk'

 

[(RIP) john plane]

I have had a ride on it

See?

I knew this should have been named the Brick Layers or something. It's already being invaded by owners of the JapoGerman stuff.

Bloody Wapping'll be here in a moment with his BMW 1600Wing.

C'mon Uncle Grouchy........You have more knowledge and experience of bricks than most, get your list out

PS you divisive git....the section is only an hour old and you've already set up the equivalent of an airhead v oilhead chasm

Very pretty

I'm new to liking bricks, but I wonder how many models from other manufacturers look as un-dated as that does after 15 years

 

[flytoolow]

This was mine. Sold it about 12 months ago. I kinda miss it..Maybe I'll get another..

Had a go on St. Eptoes current loaner K100 brick yesterday. Realised that it was the first 4-cylinder bike I've ever ridden in nearly 20 years of riding...

This is my little collection, the K is a 16v model with a Remus system and Harmann chip. I have changed the bars to those from a K75C and they make a hell of a difference for comfort and control.

Really? That's interesting because I always found the K1/RS 16-Valve bars the most comfortable on any BMW I've ridden.

My K75S has K75C bars. I'm tempted to fit a pair of K75S bars that I picked-up on eBay for 99p but I'm also holding-out, looking for K1/RS 16-Valve bars.

The K75C bars are the same width and rake as the K75S bars, just about 2 inches taller. It was the rake and width of the K1/RS 16-Valve that I found better.

Have I been subjected to K series snobbery

No. It's K-Series pedantry.

[electric_monk]

looking for K1/RS 16-Valve bars.

I had a close look at a K1 a couple of weeks ago and the bars were nothing like those on the RS 16v.
I do have a set of 16v bars surplus to requirements.........

WTF is all that gubbins on the back Marc?

It looks like one of those dog-shit collecting bikes they have in Paris

 

[Ogmios]

"gubbins"

merely a top box off me Guzzi, a cable lock under it - oh and a tow bar

Not dawg sheet / it's "shabby chic" i'm told.

Here is mine, when it was alot cleaner. It now has a good protective layer of crap on it

It was sort of loaned to me when my airhead gearbox shat itself 3 years ago and Its been in my care eversince I am in 2 minds about removing the fairing.Every time I use it in the cold and wet I want to keep it and when its sunny I want to get rid of it
