More of them! I've been getting some writing done lately, which is nice. A 748 with an 853 big bore kit, a 748SP with reset cam timing and tuning a high comp 900SS with FCR carbs.

About Me
- Brad The Bike Boy
- Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- . Previously known as Brad from Moto One.
Minnie the 600M/750
In commuter trim! Minne has a name as she nominally belongs to Hunnybunny, not me.
The 851
I really do like this thing. Although now it just sits forlornly in the factory getting covered in dust. Maybe I'll get enthusiastic one day and wash it. I think that I should be turning it over regularly, but it's not run for nearly 5 years, so has the damage been done already? Poor baby. I can remember riding home from work and the sound it made running up the Toorak Road off ramp past all the cars turning left knocking it down gears with a blip on each change. Was very cool indeed.
The 888
I know, I should have done the wheels in black.
The 900M
Much like the 888, I never really got into this bike. Don't know why. Maybe it was the black wheels.
Another of the Eldorado
This photo, taken by Russ Murray in the Moto One showroom, is one of my favourites. Don't really know why, I just like it. One of the things I liked about this bike (and also the Sport 1100i and BMW's now I look at them) was the minimal number of colours - orange, silver and black.
The Sport 1100i
Another bike that I could just sit and look at. And it sounded so good!
The R1100S
The project that followed the Sport 1100i, it went a touch better and handled amazingly with an Ohlins front shock, but could never look or sound as good.
The R1150R
A bike I didn't spend much time on over the year and a half I owned it, and my second in a two bike collection of BMW colours or schemes thereof with poor resale.
The Mighty KR1S 250
How it looked the rainy night someone came to take it away. Painted all black when I bought it, at some point later I realised i could rub the black off and have much of the original colour scheme underneath. Although the main fairing was originally from a red KR1 I think, and definitely badly repaired more than once, so it stayed black. And the tail panel shown was bought to replace the one I smashed the only time I crashed it and the last time I rode it at a Sandown track day. A sensational little bike, holed pistons and frequently failing stator windings aside. The first bike I rode on a race track and the first bike I had my knee down on. And a great commuter too I found. It's sometimes nice to have a bike that won't wheelie past the city speed limit in first gear.
