BMW R90S ground-up build from new parts

[rbm]

Saw a posting on another forum I monitor that might interest members here.  Max BMW in New Hampshire is building a 1975 BMW R90S motorcycle using only new parts sourced from BMW's stock of vintage replacement parts.  There are Facebook and web sites available that document the build.

Be quick; the build is expected to take 4 days.

Nice. Good timing. I'm eyeing a R90s project I found for sale.

This is so cool. Kept sneaking peaks of the webcam all day at work.

What I bet they won't say is what the bike would have cost, if they'd paid for the parts.

A fair condition R90s is in the $10k range. New parts from BMW at retail I'm sure they are way over that. Wholesale. I still doubt the break even.
The Daytona orange is the resale color but the gray is growing on me. The basket case I'm looking at is gray and needs paint. If I get it not sure if it will stay gray.

I really like the burnt orange, it is different than boring grey, unique!
