That is true... I met a guy down in PHX who had a collection of all except for one of the turbo bikes ever made. Including the 650 and 500. Some he had two or three examples of. All were original and in tip top shape. Not one had more than 10K miles on it...

Have you seen the YouTube video I did for that bike in our Total Motorcycle YouTube Channel?

Confederate wraith, actually saw one here in SA, but the bugger would not let me ride it :evil: :evil: :evil:
I spent my therapy money an a K1200S
The therapy worked, I got a GS now
A touch of insanity crept back in the shape of an R1200R

You got me with that one other than it's a BMW...maybe from the early 70's, but I would guess it's a custom chopper, not a stock model. :D

Took that pic at an MC rally in Germany back in '84. It was the first time I'd ever seen a BMW modified that way and I spent some time chatting with the owner about it... unfortunately, I can't recall all the details as I was under the affluence of incohol at the time. :oops:
