THIS IS NOT!!!! THE ORIGINAL RATBIKE.ORG, BUT AN ARCHIVE FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT.

flat black BMW motor cycle
Attached are pics of my bobbed '71 R50/5 in street drag. I built it up from a parts bike to run as a race bike here in the States, but decided to put it on the street instead. It has some pretty trick stuff in the motor...aluminum flywheel, high lift roller rockers, hi compression pistons, etc. and is all business when it comes to amenities. Kick start only, no instruments, no turn signals... only a brake light, headlight, mirror and horn (bulb type).
Hope you like it. Beemers are too often overlooked as platforms for your basic street ride and I'd appreciate it if you'd help the cause by putting my bike up on your site.
