That is astounding!

The highest mileage I have physically seen here in South Africa is 450000 kilometers, also done on a 1100GS.

Bulletproof machines indeed!

Yeah, that looks VERY similar to the Petit concept.

Us mere mortals would like a budget fitting version of that please BMW.

Brilliant!

I would have also just parked and stayed if Mojito's, Daquari's and Caparinias were served for Dessert...

Very, very nice! Many safe miles.

Point taken!

Yeah Harry, agree on Your comment that they're art as oppossed to functional bonies. I would have gone with road tyres that hark back to a 70's/ 80's GP theme rather than the knobblies (zig zag tread). Martini racing alludes to gran turismo along the French Riviera, not off-road rallying. Just my op...

That is special!

Good looking is good looking, albeit a Harley.

Sorry, trying again to get the photobucket thing right...

Brings back memories of the scorching heat on the shins mid-summer in Australia on country roads from my airheads, R90s and R100RS :roll: I concur. I did a 3000km trip down the west coast of Namibia (read Desert) in 45 degree Celcius heat on my 1150 GS. NO problems with the engine overheating ( can...

Thanks for all the replies. @boxerscott - thanks for advice, I'm just scared I mess it up more! I found a dedicated plastic epoxy made by " UHU", cut an intricate template (from an old dvd box) that allowed for the fairing overlaps, and epoxied the template to the underside to offer suppor...

There was this concept by Nicolas Petit in 2012. What a pity it didn't get the nod... I think it's just breathtaking!

Thanks Nigel -epoxy was my thinking too.

As this weak spot in the fairing is so notorius for damage, I thought that there would be a tried and trusted remedy that had culminated through the years.

Epoxy and reinforcing plastic on the under side it shall be.
