2stroke4stroke Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 "Pity they never went on to make trials bikes. " I seem to recall I did once see a 250 BMW converted for trials - interesting, given the shaft drive. I can't remember where though, can anyone confirm its existence?

esteve Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) There was a BMW in the 2011 Pre65 Scottish, Rider No. 105. I remember I took this photo on Day 2 at Pipeline and there is also a shot of the LHS in the paddock.

b40rt Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The BMW used a pinion from an outfit to lower the gearing, still 1st for everything. Also had a base gasket that was about 10mm thick ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
