Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
That exhaust is visually offensive,it looks lovely apart from that.
I daren't look up the price tag,no doubt it's an expensive bike.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's in the link (if you dare click it), it's built by Motorrad Martin in Germany. It's not that different from the official bike, but all the option boxes have been ticked and it's got a nice paint job.Bustaspoke wrote: Thu Jul 17, 2025 8:42 pm That exhaust is visually offensive,it looks lovely apart from that.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Saw this earlier. Not sure if I hate it or want it. I expect price would play a big part in deciding.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
The local bike night often throws up something unusual (at least to my eye's) & last night was no exception.
This recently built HL540 was there so I had a chat with the owner & his mate.I'd never heard of one before,here's a link to the bike's history https://www.classicdirtbike.co.uk/hl-lore/


Just before I left this Goldwing turned up looking nice & different

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Just had a nice afternoon at Aintree,apart from the racing there was a parade for a few laps with some of the old 'Ace's of Aintree'.
Here's spme of the bikes & a road bike I'd never seen before.
A brace of Bimota's,they looked like TZ motors in there but I'm not certain.

Early Yamaha 250

And a BMW Supermoto road bike.

Plenty of other unusual bikes & a wide variety of race bikes,a good day out in the sunshine

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Saw this today. Amazing, if flawed condition. Didn’t look restored as such, just looked after. And blessed by a decent climate, obviously.
Envious!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It looks OK, but that 650 engine (if it's the same one from earlier bikes) was nothing to get excited about, for sure.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: Thu Aug 07, 2025 8:39 pmThey weren't greatCount Steer wrote: Sat Aug 02, 2025 5:01 pmI never knew there was/is such a thing!Bustaspoke wrote: Sat Aug 02, 2025 4:57 pm Just had a nice afternoon at Aintree,apart from the racing there was a parade for a few laps with some of the old 'Ace's of Aintree'.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Is that the updated Rotax? (was the F650 and became the G650 in BMW terminology I think).
