Very nice....

Amazing what a massive aesthetic improvement is made by losing that fecking awful XL250 style headlamp....

That`s one of the first changes I`m going to make to mine.

OOOOOPS.....what a giveaway....

Nice. I always wondered if there will be rallye kit for it from HPN or BMW - bigger fuel tank (with very low centre of gravity like the R900RR has) and complete front fairing for better wind protection.

Something like this:

So it'd be easy to convert it for motorcross or rallye. And acctually it is the rallye where the HP2 would shine more brightly with it's prefrormance...

Hey Margus,
i know that you go to enduro events, do you have more pictures of the R900RR? I have HP2, and cant wait to see bigger tank from HPN that was rumored on ADVrider.
I will try to bring my bike as close as possible to that shape(the front end).

thanks! :beer:

Hmm... You have multiple choices then.

The original R900RR 900cc looked like this - the front end was more minimalistic due fuel tank was smaller also the beak was part of fork (turns while you do) not part of front fairing (not turning) - the front light and screen are VERY similar to Touratech Desierto 1 fairing IMHO:

And then was this R1100RR buit for Oscar Callardo OPTIC2000 rallye - looks very similar to R900RR factory, but some differences, unfortunately i don't have any detailed pics - probably the best weight/performance GS-RR rallye machine ever made (R900RR was the lightest, but 900cc can't beat the 1100cc):

And then there was this R1150RR for BMW factory team - the most MASSIVE due HUGE tank and axiliary tanks taking more than 50 litres of fuel with it - it was a bit slow rallye machine due too much fuel on it to be in competition with long stages where fuel was issue. Beak is one part with front fairing - more plastic, more parts - more weight, the small +50cc increasment didn't give it any real advantage, but the very skilled rallye drivers did miracles with those massive machines, if only the clutches didn't burned out

:

And there was this special version of R1150RR bult by HPN for specially for PG Lundmark - looks very similar to the factory R1150RR, but note Öhlins front and some other differences:

The desierto fairing is a KTM part I think. They fit to 640 Adv etc. A friend has one fitted to a Gs 11 and it has KTM written on the screen.

If you have to ask...............you know it's unaffordable

The 3 Race to Dakar F650 bikes, raced by Pavey/Hall/Boorman in the 2006 Dakar were rumoured to cost a cool £75,000 each, but more like £30,000 each for the bike itself in reality, the £75k probably included the Dakar entry and cost of the support crew

I was looking back through these and remembered something I read in a magazine, possibly TBM (still going?) wher it said that Deacon had found that on the long straights across the desert, it the bike would get to a top speed and no more but he felt that the engine had more oommph, in the off season, BMW put it in to the wind tunnel and redisinged the front end, possibly leading to the fixed beak (I am not sure of the order of events)

any way, Like I said, thanks for posting the pics

Margus,
another question: why doesit say on the tank "GOAL WAS RACING" ?
i try to follow the bmw dakar bikes and theyir history, but couldn't find anything on that. I know that they had "GAULOISES" written on the tanks, since the official name of the team was "BMW GAULOISES".

Thanks!

it's changed from "gauloise" to "goal was" because of laws in
france (and elsewhere) restricting cigarette advertisement....

last year(2006) there was a KTM-Gauloises team.... maybe because they didn't start at France ???? :nenau
