1978 Bmw R-series on 2040-motos

Loss of income has forced me to sell (Ragnar)

This Cafe Racer was designed and built by myself and a friend that is a semi retired old school BMW mechanic. It started life as a very nice 1978 R100RT. We finished it back in the fall of 2010, but I've only put around 500 miles on it in that time, it's been babied and has spent it's life inside. The bike always turned heads where ever it goes, and it also demands you take notice with the open megaphone exhaust.

Most of the riding I've done on this bike is here in town, I hauled it up to Northern Illinois a few years back and rode to Starved Rock with my brother, took it to the Barber Vintage Festival in Birmingham, AL back in 2011 for the first annual Cafe Racer Show.
