I wondered about that but it has the original tyrpe pressure stickers and stuff on it.
Should it be white?
Just reving you up Trippy. It's lovely bike
Mick Barr told me (he was the Leicester BMW dealer though the 80s) that the Paris Dakars initially came as a kit, you bought a standard bike and the Paris Dakar kit and the dealer fitted it for you. People chose what parts they wanted fitting and took the other bits away thats why the Paris Dakar models are such a mismatch of parts. Phil Hawksley doesn't have different engine/chassis numbers listed for the Standard and Paris Dakar models http://www.bmbikes.co.uk/chassispages/enginechassis800.htm it would be nice to know the full story. I think towards the end of the G/s production run they did what they did with the 1150 and the GSA and only produced the bike as a Paris Dakar. Mine is a July 87 bike with a white rear mudguard and what appears to be black fork legs under the silver that been aerosoled over the top - Hopefully somebody will post the full story at some point.
