The BMW caferacer


It has been a long while since I rode it. I thought I remembered it being about as fast and about as fun as the CB750. I must be getting old, because my memory was way, way off.


Being used to the CB now, I almost crashed it the first couple of hundred meters. Everything on the bike is violent. Gas response, the brakes, engine braking, cornering..... Absolutely fantastic. To say that I enjoyed riding it is a massive understatement. What a bike to ride.....


Just a shame the tank cure treatment failed. I'll continue this season with a messy looking tank and I'll try to fix things after the season again.

  4. Merci 4 Bulloni!

    @ Boom: I don't know what the exact problem is. I contacted Tank Cure and they didn't know either. I can feel air bubbles under both the paint on the outside and the tank cure on the inside. I fear that other epoxy products will just have the same effect.

    @ El Solitario: Thanks mate!
