My latest purchase

So just bought this factory-made BCR, found in a barn.
It has a circuit-history but I dont know any details about it.

The bike itself has 11500km on it and has had 2 previous owners. The latest one bought the bike at 7500km, I got the invoice from the garage ( Ludwig bikes belgium ) he bought the bike from.



I Gave the bike a maintenance, it has a rapid bike PC in the bike, which version I dont know. Can just say it runs perfectly and I'm not gonna touch it for my first season with the bike.

Im transforming the bike to a road legal one. Bought a chassis with papers from a wreck-salesman, found the neccesary fairings as well. Im now waiting for some electrical parts I've ordered which should arrive this week.

Here some extra pics


Thats my dad on the right upper corner. I'm just 25 :D

As you can see here, the right fairing hasnt it original colours anymore. This due to a low slider on track I assume. Im just making the bike road legal now and next winter we're going for a new paint-job and some extra's as in: Rvs-braking hoses, new carbon parts, HID lights etc

greetings!

You're far too young to own a BMW oil head!

I thought so too, at first. But then again, some people grow up fast, and others take more time to mature. Hats off for Gilles, for seeing the light at such young age!
For me, it took some 25-odd years of riding bikes…

oh, and: welcome to the forum, Gilles!
