I see it uses the ubiquitas front disc that was rubbish at stopping my G5 250 and F1 550/4 good luck stopping an even heavier bike - at that time twin leading shoe was still better imho
There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity

Sand cast are the holy grail but even as little as two years ago you could have scored one for £25k
R1200GS TC. Triple Black
R1200S. It’s gone. Had it 11yrs. My favourite bike in 42yrs riding.

My mate bought one of these without seeing it in the flesh from guy in holland for 20K last year. It goes with the other one he has. He reckons he'd get 45K easy for both....

Another mate has the non sand cast 69 model, apparntly thats only worth 25K :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

I wish I was as rich as them :dontknow:
