crazy, but a very nice example.  when you pay that much, is it garage art or do you just ride it.

more money than brains

[Stretch]

Oh, yeah - way more money than brains.

A lot of R100RTs and R80Ts were "converted" to S or CS
after their owners had minor spills and wrecked the
fairings. Much cheaper to convert it than to buy all of
the BMW parts to fix it back to original!

Sorta like the streetfighter craze......

I like BMW's and that's a nice one, but that's just nuts.

Me too, but I thought that, 9 or 10 K would all the crazy money for that bike.

Yes, but the FZ1 doesn't look the nines.  And what about the old Beemer?  Just a yada yada thing?
