This is not custom paint job. There are some silver and black rocksters around. I think they were sold somewhere in Europe but can't remember more details. Enjoy your new ride...

That is a good one... Lot's of nice pics in the group.

Can you link to the group?

It's this one: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=21251937968

You can update mine with No 1564. I have also created a Facebook group for anyone interested. Search for Rockster...

Just ordered mine from beemerboneyard. After 6 years of side-standing I am about to experience some stable parking... Let's go USPS!

You could go for one of those "rear-view" helmets. I believe Reevu makes one but having not tried one before I am not sure how it feels riding with on of those... Or if it is even legal to ride without mirrors, rear-view helmet or not.

Damn, I've had my bike for almost 6 years now. Haven't looked into any of these. Off to the dealer's...

Welcome onboard

Can we get a closer look at the spot light you have attached there?

I've had those some time back. Now the paint has cracked and I have flakes falling off from time to time. What surprised me though is the fact that under the paint itself, the cylinder has more or less the same blue color which doesn't make it so bad. In fact I would prefer both my cylinders like th...

So I recently decided to quit my job and move to one of the Greek islands for a new start. Things have proven better than I expected and I now have time to play around with my Ed80 again. However, the roads here are not as smooth as I would like plus the distances I travel from start to stop last an...

Haven't been able to see it anywhere on the web but on one of my trips I came across a Rockster painted in a negative Edition 80 color scheme, i.e. replace white parts with black and black stripes with white ones. Although it is usually the other way around, I had to stop and stare for a while. Hate...

I also had mine replaced some time back. I would get scratching metal noise after every start which would only get worse as time went by. I had the starter taken apart and cleaned by BMW Service three or four times. It would work fine after every clean but only for a week or so. After a month of tro...

I guess that's what a bike would look like if the Rockster went doggy style on I am not even sure what and left their bastard out to grow on the wild side.

And I mean that in a good way... Mean machine

Can anyone upload a pic with the Ohlins installed on the Rock (preferably an Ed80 one)? I am thinking about going for the upgrade myself but I'm just curious how those gold things will look on black and white...

No argument there. True, you will have to look around before making up your mind on which helmet to go for, read around and of course try one on before you buy. It's just good and reassuring though, that the choice I made a year ago turns out to be a five star helmet. Just an extra point to validate...

If you wanna know how good your helmet is or if you are in the process of buying a new one, make sure you check the 2008 ratings by SHARP, the UK's Helmet Safety Scheme. It was a very pleasant surprise for me to find out that I own a 5 star helmet. Check the link below for more info... http://sharp....

Possibly a friend behind the bushes playing tricks on you... Seriously never heard of such a warning or indication system on the rock...

Never had a problem with the servo. I drive my Ed80 for four and a half years now with 45K Kms on the meter so far. If you can live with the whining the servo makes I wouldn't worry too much. BTW welcome to the board and congrats on your new ride

Gotta love that color... Awesome.
