Cooo that's a rarity
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I've always fancied one of these. With 40mm carbs and a 100S fairing it
would be a really spanking bike. I love the slightly retro look with the
K1100 type forks/brembos and paralever.
Be interesting to see how the price goes.

Are those the tubeless type spoked rims do you think?

The spokes go into the edge of the rim rather than the middle, so I'd
guess so.

I like the sound and feel of the Beemer airhead, but when I test rode
an R75/6 it had less power than I had expected (and wanted).

So maybe I'd be happier with an R100. In fact I'm pretty sure of it.

One slight problem: I have too many bikes already which I also like:

'07 Triumph Bonneville-Scrambler-Thruxton [under restoration]
'06 Suzuki S40 (aka LS650 Savage) [the one I actually ride]
'05 Sportster 883 [not insured yet]
'94 Magna V45 + sidecar [runs but not currently insured]
'85 Dnepr MT-11 + sidecar [also running and insured]
'79 Dnepr MT-10/36 + sidecar [not running] [never tried]
'71 BMW R75/5 [insurance write-off; not running yet]
'72 BMW R75/5 bare frame
'xx various derelicts in rehab including 2 Honda 1xx's

Wow, now that I list them all that's a lot of bikes for someone
who lives in a trailer (or "caravan" in the Queen's English).

Where do I keep them all? At various friends' places scattered
around the city here. (Vancouver, BC, Canada).

That one's been in my watch list for a couple of days though it does
look a tad grubby. IIRC, yes they are tubeless spoked rims.

I rode one at the launch and thought it rather lovely. Don't think it
would suit the S fairing though as the instruments are much bigger and
bars are more T than S

A friend had one: the "Mystic". He dubbed it the "Mistake".

I don't think I'll bid. I really have to dispose of 3 before buying another.
Shame because they are rare.

I've got a complete spare RS fairing I believe and a 3rd top half and frame.

The R90S had a certain presence for its day. Nothing since.
