Well with five motorcycles (one with a sidecar on it) the garage is pretty darned full.
Left to right: ’90 Yamaha FJ1200, ’93 BMW K1100RS, ’83 Yamaha Seca 750 with Velourex sidecar.
In the back on the right you can barely make out the ’83 Kawasaki GPz305 (it’s red) and stuffed in the corner against the wall is the ’81 BMW R100RS.
The shell game is this:
- Fix up the FJ1200 to make it the daily driver and figure out the best way to schlep the laptop on it.
- Swap the bodywork on the K1100RS, fix it up and sell it. (I have another entire set of almost pristine bodywork for it.)
- Use the proceeds from selling the K1100RS to buy new carb slides and diaphragms for the FJ1200 and misc parts for the R100RS to get it running again. The 750 Seca also needs new coils and plug wires I believe.
- Use the remainder of the K bike proceeds for starting the Electric Motorcycle project. I’m not sure if I want to use the FJ for the base, it’s pretty fun to drive as an ICE powered bike… But a liter bike is a good base for an EV conversion.
Anyway, that’s the plan today.
