I've had boxer 650's in past,want a classic to ride in summer VMCC runs and shows etc.The boxers are an easy bike to play around with and quirky looking,love that big wide motor.Make a great flat tracker methinks.Me Superdream is too small I can't ride it so it will have to go I'm afraid.Need to weld bits on the gear lever and brake pedal to make them wider plus vapour blast the wheel hubs and polish rims new tyres and good to go,can't wait.Was going to tart the Harley up but that can wait till next year,likely keep the Hawk unless I get a good offer on it.

This is the first summer since aug 14 back on the road putting the Dyna on the road end of march as it's the easiest to ride then the rest the superdream will be one.the lower leg brace has made a world of difference now got the van so long distance meets I can take the bikes in that lots of meets and ralleys this summer two years of catching up may do a superdream meet when they happen I know there will be some my way so we may cross paths and at the Iom in aug

I like the look of that Dave, it's funny 30 years ago I thought the boxster engine looked ridiculous in a bike frame, I now think they look really good, age does this to us 😎

Flat tracker Graham,you old fart lol What year is your R60? Was considering a nice R75 1973 vintage but bit too much dosh.Rode the R80 today for first time,goes well and starts easily with the new Yuasa on it.Needs a little tlc over next few weeks to bring it up to scratch.Just missed out on a nice R100 outbid last 3 seconds  .Gear lever and brake pedal are aluminium but my mate can weld them,need to make them wider so I can ride comfortably. |

The guy I bough my bandit had just bought one and his reason was the cost of the parts. Apparently they are cheaper to fix, I do like the BMW R naked style
70's bike now but hated them at the time lol
