2004 BCR for sale

Postby davegooch » Mon Aug 16, 2021 3:25 pm

So I've owned my 2004 BCR since it was a year old. I've done nearly 70k miles on it, it's been to Northern Ireland, Scotland, Spain, France, Germany, Luxembourg. It's done a couple of laps of the Nurburgring, a few laps around Brands Hatch on a rider skills day, a couple of track days at Cadwell Park and a track day around a little circuit in France, but nearly all of the miles have been on the road.
It had a new clutch and replacement gearbox around 20 months ago, and has been regularly serviced by a BMW specialist.
Unfortunately a few weeks ago the engine became very noisy, and I realised that the oil level was far too low. The specialist diagnosed big end bearings, he's fitted new shells, but it still won't go.
It either needs a full engine rebuild or a replacement engine. I don't have the room or the skill to do the work myself, and I don't have the budget to pay someone to do it for me. Unfortunately that means it is time for my well loved bike to go.
I would rather it go to an enthusiast who will care for it better than I have and put it back on the road rather than sell it to a bike breaker, which is my other option.
So, that is a very longwinded way of asking if anyone here is interested in buying a non-running 2004 BCR? If so, please make me an offer, I am based in Kent in South East England.
The pictures were taken on a trip to Scotland in September last year. I don't have any more recent pictures of it, and it is still at the mechanic's place so I can't take any new ones right now.

Edit - I've just realised I didn't put a price, which is against the forum rules. Unfortunately I don't know what a non-running BCR is worth, and Ebay is not very helpful. I have seen a couple of non-runners that sold, one for £1150, the other for £1395, they were standard, not BCR, but probably wanted less work doing to them, so I'm going to say offers in the region of £1000 please

Thanks for looking

Dave
