Post Sale Update: After 40 bids on eBay, this racer sold for $13,000.

We’ve featured a Krauser MKM1000 (based on the R100RS) before, but this racer caught my eye as it features the MKM frame, is unfaired, and features an incredible amount of high-performance parts. Unfortunately, it’s also currently not running, so you’ll need to take care of a couple of things before you tear up a race track with this former BMW tourer.

This bike was in a magazine feature back in August of 1988, in which the builder said he would “forget about cost, forget all the limitations, make anything I wanted.” The 13″ brakes and wheels come from Performance Machine, while the engine is a 1108cc unit with Krauser’s famous 4-valve heads. You also got 12:1 Venolia pistons, a custom aluminum flywheel, and more. It apparently took 18 months and $20,000 to complete back in the 80s.

The components are top notch, but there are a couple of needs. Prepare to deal with some wiring, and address the tires, rear brake, and a couple of other long-term consumables.
