1998 Mercedes G320 SWB - Bringatrailer Walk around
Переглядів 75114 днів тому
It's not a motorcycle, sorry. This 1998 Mercedes G320 SWB was imported from Japan in 2024 and is the first year to feature the M112 aluminum V6 engine. Performance was greatly improved over the out-going M104 and offers greater fuel economy over the M113 V8. But if you're looking at G wagons, fuel economy is the last thing on your mind. It underwent a full cosmetic restoration, it was originall...

    Beautiful BMW R100. I am a bit of a purest owning a 1976 R90/6 in stock form. The absence of any rear fender or inability to carry anything other than a wallet and cell phone leaves me wondering why would anyone would pay more money to have less of a motorcycle?

    • @RoughchildMoto
      @RoughchildMoto 16 годин тому

      Well if we stick to the theory that 4 wheels move the body and 2 wheels move the soul, this r100 just moves more soul than your r90 with little regard for carrying much else. No one's using it to get groceries or ride cross country. Granted your r90 is very practical, sensible even. This isn't an exercise in sensibility.

    • @RoughchildMoto

      That's cute but money's only one piece of the puzzle. They are not cheap, and it is way easier to buy a brand new motorcycle from a dealership. You can't discredit the enthusiasm for something special. Special people, just like i said. Really, I'm not a salesman. I'm the anti salesman. It's for people that just get it.

      Ah you didn't watch the video. Watch it and revise the comment. 1. I didn't use a 4 speed gearbox. 2. I actually like a 4 speed gearbox, rebuilt. Old ones are clunky, if that's your experience I understand the naivety. 3. If you don't think this bike was worth the effort, you're simply in the wrong place

Longer form will add some staying power to all the time and effort you've put into these. Some of us still have attention spans longer than two minutes. More detail setting up the bike and insight. into your modifications. Your workspace, presentation and commentary are great.
