Anyone seen one of these or got a picture?
I was at the Dirt Bike Show yesterday and picked up a WP brochure, in the front was a photo of a German registered Rockster, with silver stripes and wheels. Looked really nice, didn't know if it was a production model or not.

That's them, I thought the bike looked really well with silver stripes and wheels.

I have seen a pic or two...I'll check if I saved any..and yes it was a production model but I never saw one at my dealer..Maybe it was just a Euro thing.

I have seen a picture of one too and I don't remember if it was here or on ebay.
I believe it is a Euro thing and also think it's an 80th anniversary edition.
It's pretty sharp. I have thought about getting those stripes for my black roadster but didn't think they would be available here in the states.
Let me know if anyone finds them.

It was a Europe only (ie not UK) colour scheme for (IIRC) the last year or two of manufacture.
Mate of mine in Switzerland has one - he occasionally visits this forum.

Black and Siver Rockster, I found the pictures whilst doing a garage cleanup. Refer to 2005 BMW Motorad Range catalogue.

I've seen a black/silver one for sale here in Holland, and must say it looks a bit tame.
The other one is from a Belgian BMW-dealer, who has done some very interesting bike rebuilds:

By the way; if you are thinking of putting those stickers to your bike: they are expensive as hell !

I really wanted this colour, but as riceburner said, not available in the UK so settled for a Edition 80.

Wow, the ferro valve covers look REALLY out of place on that one.
Mine are now black.

Jeff, I commend you on your observation ability!
Just need to see the front to really tell.
