BMW 2valve K-bike RT-to-Naked-Format Conversion
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Removal of the RT fairing components ( 'Tupperware' in BMW-biker-speech ) prior to reverting the bike to un-faired format for weight-saving and cooler riding in hot weather.

Any idea of the weight saving ?

What's the problem with 'typical German over-engineering' ? This bike dates from the era when BMW manufactured top-quality machines exclusively in-house in their massive plant in Berlin-Spandau, bikes that had a well-earned reputation for quality, durability and reliability. They made these machines without outsourcing a myriad of Chinese components as they do nowadays:- wet clutch and other transmission items, signalling, starter, alternator, cabling, and many other crucial bits. They were extremely well-made and well-put-together vehicles - evidence the fact that almost every single authorities road-patrol force in Europe and in many countries further afield bought thousands of them and used them exclusively year-in, year-out.
