Thanks, they're all lovely, but I always thought the angled frame brace from below the headstock to the swingarm pivot area was absolutely obligatory? Sort of like this:
Aaaaarghhhhh, shiney, polished, welded, finished!?! What are you trying to do to me?!?

Yes, I did see that one, but unfortunately it's not a Beemer, and I was more distracted by this http://bmwmotorcycletech.info/technical-articles-list.htm
Well monocoque at least. I've got Snobum favourited, but don't do enough acid to be able to easily follow his site.

Debut @ Silverstone '79, out @ the first corner for Grant with what I've seen reported as unpredicted oil surge, leading to a spill @ the 1st corner, Katayama out with ignition issues. It was a pity not to see hem in the race, except of course on their sighting laps & the warm up lap, but they were an interesting sight in practice & the pit walkabout/paddock. Was that the year I was there in a wheelchair? Can't recall. Lovely sound, but most of all a wonderful conglomeration of inovation, with the obvious starting point being the 'It's a 4 cylinder not an 8' oval cylinders, but also the monocoque-ish chassis, and the screen concept... http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/n...nd_hondas_classic_racing_photos/photo_08.html http://web.me.com/ganniclefft/Honda_NR500/Welcome.html http://www.millersmule.com/blog/uncategorized/honda-nr500-oval-piston-engine/ Fuller story @ http://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/Classic Racers/honda_nr_500_gp_racer_1979.htm http://www.modellismo.net/forum/1007611-post393.html http://www.r1150r.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4437 http://www.jumpingjack.nl/GP-races_1979-1986_Toon_Kannekens/12-08-1979_gp_silverstone.htm EDIT dead vid link EDIT dead vid link
