Many, many years ago, when the MHRs were available new, I helped out at a place very near a Ducati dealer. Owners in the know would buy from the main dealer then push them round the corner for a proper PDI since the main dealer were crap at the mechanical side!

That's just lovely - is it a new model? - I was never into British bikes as I always had BMW - just got 2 left an R90S and an R100RS MotorSport

Looks like a current Scrambler, a 900cc Bonneville derivative.



Love the old air cooled Bimmers.

Yes Trevor;

I'm into scooters myself.

Love those older R model BMW’s from the 1970’s……iconic styling & design, I’d love one at some stage…!

Here's another one of mine - I didn't keep it very long - too bloody fast and in any case I much preferred the GS models

Interesting choice of handlebars given the style of the bike, would have expected clip-ons and rear-sets. Nice bike just the same.

Yeah, I agree.
He does have the original bars, but as he's in his mid 60's he finds the original bars too uncomfortable.

Here's another one of mine which I had for maybe 30 odd years - sold it 3 years ago to a guy in Aix-en-Provence

It was pure joy in the summer months

I was 1/2 tempted by an R9T but a test fitting on it and the Bonnie saw me saving a fair wedge and sat aboard the Bonnie.

Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the RT, hence me trying it on before the Bonnie. The one I tried just didn't feel right so I looked elsewhere!
