Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
A friend works in the car trade, posted this on Instagram. I guess he was delivering or collecting a car, and found these.
Whatever your views on Bimmers, it's a shame they're just dumped.
Don't know what the fourth one is.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Nothing is irretrievable,but unless the bike is deemed desirable by collectors,then the cost can be prohibitive. Building any bike up from it's constituent parts can often be more expensive than the finished article is worth.
Now if it was a pile of R90S.......

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Given the number of K and R-RT bikes used as the basis of custom builds, all 3 BMs should have some value

I imagine the owner plans to do exactly that. (And has done from the day he dumped them in the garden. 'Projects' eh? Always starting tomorrow. ).

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Some mainland outfits charge more to post to NI than it costs from the good old US of A. I'd be in a corner before I'd use them

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I didn't want to start a thread, but here's an interesting story about a very uninteresting bike, the VFR750.
