That is a thing a
GREAT beauty
and reminds me why, from a position of total 15yr old ignorance, I fell in love with BMWs all those years ago! Coachlines and quality engineering- it was a very long time before I ever rode a bike but I remember a lad at school had a black BMW 600 (Ozzie B ?) and his dad came to school on his new H**da 750 and we stood around waiting for him to come out and kick-start it. Did we feel foolish when he sauntered out, sat on it, thumbed the starter and rode off! Electric starter on a 750 plastic rocket coooo!
Strewth! That's 1967/8 and I remember clear as a bell - can't recall last week though
Sean - you are a fortunate person
