I'm back at Williams BMW with the K (of course

)

I'd not seen last week's MCN BoxerCup article as I no longer bother with MCN but read it while waiting it reads really well to be fair, and their valuations are not too bad either, although they should have had a pristine valuation too I think for the garage Queen bikes as I know of at least 2 that do not see the light of day unless there's no rain predicted for the next 2 weeks

Makes me wonder whether I should reconciliation my idea of selling mine in the spring

Oh bugger! I'll have to buy a copy now

And who are you calling a 'Garage Queen'

Yeh Steve,

Greg went all the way to France for a play on his and you didn't even take yours to the Yorkshire GP this year, preferring the 800GS.

Yeah, twas an interesting read. Nice input from Nigel (Sandbar) as an afficionado. I had no idea that the mk1 RM BCR is the rare version. Seems the later RWB tall ones weren't a limited production run. Every day's a school day...

There is an even more rare S ~ the one produced to by UK Motorrad in support of the British race series circa 2001/2 ~ only 25 of those I believe

Which article was it?I poured through MCN for five minutes in Smiths and all I could find was a column inch on the BCR next to the HP4 Sport?

Glad I didn't buy the rag. Outrageous price for thin newspaper.

A mate of mine has kept it for me, when he gives it me I'll scan it and put it here so all can read it

My opinion is that the rwb bcr is more a collectable. I sold mine recently, loads of interest from all over the UK and Ireland. Turned down people wanting to buy it without viewing it. Can not see for the life of me why this is not the collectors choice.

That's always been my impression. The RWB sure is perdy. 'Course, I wouldn't bet my house on what 'the comic' says anyhoo...
