Da biemvuista che in tanti anni sono stato ti faccio i complimenti per la cura che hai avuto per sistemare al meglio tutti i piccoli danni che ha subito la moto, in realtà le vecchie BMV non avevano tutti questi pezzi. Se fosse stata mia questa moto avrei trovato qualche soluzione per non vedere il tubo appiattito del paracilindro sinistro, ho quasi 80 anni e ho nella mia vita posseduto e restaurato circa 43 moto. Un saluto da Roma👍👋
Loved the video, thanks. I'm not entirely sure I would want to ride the bike at highway speeds knowing both the stress points that mount the windshield had been superglued back together! also, was the bike crashed by the first owner on the first ride? It looks incredibly clean in all the nooks and crannies and the engine looked like it had run for an hour before the owner slid
@@danemiljus5485 If you think this bike, that started the adventure bike class and is still the benchmark, is garbage, I would like to know what bike you think is not garbage. I know it’s not for everyone but it’s been a iconic motorcycle for over 40 years.
@@danemiljus5485tell me you don’t ride without telling me you don’t ride. I rode one of these for 7 years, beautiful engine. Go back to reading Boys own Adventure
Great job. I love the additional fabric side pockets and the tool box. Are the crash bars going to be strong now they have been bent? I think BMW panniers would be nicer.
Wow you made what looked like a goner parts bike, shine again. increased the value by $10,000 or so. Can't believe you were able to save the crash bars, great job.
I bought a BMW R 1150RT years ago from Copart. 300 pound uk to fix. Basically bike for half retail price. It was flood damaged. Stopped and tipped over into a big puddle. Insurance wrote it off. Hardly a scratch on it. what a bargain. Ran it for 10 years.
Saludos de Venezuela Edo Trujillo bendiciones 🙏🇻🇪 exitos cada día más hermano excelente trabajo de recuperación quedó como nueva esa tremenda moto dios te bendiga y que cada día te valla de lo mejor hablasos de 🇻🇪🦾💪👏
Cheap work. Glued plastic that won´t stand vibrations. Did not replaced engine parts that should have been replaced. Did not performed a valve check clearance. Did not replaced the brakes fluid, nor the coolant neither, Didn´t even checked them... What about checking the cardan and replacing the oil. What about the engine air filter? Didn´t checked that neither. You managed to change the looks, good work on that, but sometimes there are much more important things to check. Those who said it was a great job, well...no further comments. Unless you only mind the looks, the rest I supose it's a pandora´s box.
Still a good amount. Auction, so it depends. I would guess around 6k usd winning bid. Then add fees and taxes. copart has fees for days. Under 10k when all is fixed. My guess.
I'm after doing that twice. In 2005 bought a 2001 first $1000, bought parts first $2500, road the bike until 2014 with 100000kms on it. In 2014 bought a damaged 2014 R1200GS for $4000, put $2500 into it, just sold it for $12000 after putting 90000kms on it. Decided on a brand new 2022 GSA.... Nice work on the bike
Excelente trabajo!! Por el valor de la moto yo le hubiese puesto nuevo la defensa de motor del lado izquierdo y no sólo pintar sobre el caño abollado. Buenas rutas!!
You Sir have SKILLS .....Great video I applaud the repair before replace if possible and a fantastic end result. I hope never to crash my 1250 because I don't have anything like your skill set or tool set.
Super job! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you skilfully bring back to life a goner bike. If it's not being too cheeky...how much did you spend overall, roughly, on the repair parts and equipment?
Good video, nicely done, but this made me sure to never ever get a bmw, cool looking bikes but never was a big fan and now seeing how hard are they to work on made me sure not to get one, would like to try it out how it feels.
