His technical expertise and meticulous nature have left an indelible mark on this bike, making it stand out among the rest. Recently, this cherished BMW found a new home when it was purchased from the engineer by the most recent owner - our long-time customer and a Ural Sidecar Enthusiast. After enjoying this BMW for about 1,000 miles, he decided to go back to Sidecar Riding and reluctantly traded the R100RT for a brand new Ural Gear Up at AlphaCars.
