They race airheads in Japan? Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing riding around on a '86R80 when they're are so many nice Japanese sport touring bikes. The Suzuki SV650 springs to mind, but all Japanese bikes have a similar, well enginered, NEW, practially priced bike.
I've seen your post on the airlist and pics in Airmail. It just fascinates me that someone in Japan is so dedicated to the mark.
If you have time, please email me and let me know it can't be a common thing to see a Rbike in Japan. With all the beautiful bikes the Japanese build it must be an infrequent site to see any BMW, isn't it?
