NOt ebay and not totally miserable but also not worth the current bid IMO..

https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/1985-bmw-k100-custom-built-n0AAe4

No word about engine rebuild and MOT history check reveals a curious mileage history. The Husqvarna rear end seems to work quite well but why the front off a Ducati ?? Looks like someone threw a lot of money at this 37 year old bike with mixed results. Would it be possible even to register historic in 3-4 years time given the alterations?

Aye, neither 'car' nor 'classic'. A lot of money has gone into creating something that only its builder could love and give a value too, so unless some Shoreditch top-knotted bell-end wants instant kudos amongst his top-knotted chums, I can't see a buyer...

LMFBO..

Funily enough I was actually planning to visit ST-KB-E headquarters this week to pour scorn on the enterprise.. as pat of a solo day out I promised myself. My route from KingsCross takes in 3 pubs on the way there and 3 on return Walk a mile in their shoes and all that.

I don't fancy the angle the shock is at. Seems like it would put some weird loads where it attaches to the frame due to it being at a sideways angle (ie it's not running parallel to the length of the bike) ... Maybe it's just the photos making it look like it's sitting pointing left a bit?

It's not totally horrible, just a bit. Using high end parts does not a superbike make.

There are plenty of superb unaborted bikes around the 5 grand mark I would absolutly love to have. That is not one of them.
