Mingh’s nailed it. Dressed in the Dakar livery of old, this would be a GS killer.

Read the story on Ron Wood, this bike, his Nortons and Rotax singles - exclusively in his own words - in issue 3 of Sideburn magazine. GI

the only thing i’d change to the bike is the colour scheme. The white red blue on the dakar bikes of old would finish it off. I’m sure this bike would sell. Probably more than the HP2 as this lightweight would make it appealing for the hardcore street trackers as well as anyone else who prefers flickability over pure bulk. Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee…..

Yeah, it’s a Bimmer. That’s a Bimmer engine. And this Ron Wood remix makes it pretty much my favourite Bimmer ever. Christ, this thing would blast around a track! Nice one Bike EXIF!

The F 800 engine is a BMW design, developed in co-operation with Bombardier-Rotax GmbH. It’s manufactured in the Austrian Rotax plant but to all intents and purpose it’s a BMW engine – and it wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for BMW. I believe that BMW also contributed financially to the building of this bike. Hence the BMW logo. Ron Wood isn’t the kind of guy to go slapping logos on his bikes without good reason.
