Basic- ly
 
Met a guy form Manila last year at BMW event in Garmisch, he had a basic, he had travelled 33,000 kms to get to Garmisch and was feeling a little home sick, however he said he only had another 55,000 kms till he got home, said the Basic was the best bike he had ever known, never missed a beat:thumbup1:

the Basic was the very last of the airhead gsers, produced 1995/96, only problem I found was the small petrol tank, to many fuel stops apart from that bukin frilliant:clap:

Never owned one, but I like them a lot!

Have the look of a no-nonsense, no-frills, get-you-anywhere type bike and I like that!!

The windscreen is a BMW-part (46 632 303 903), suggested price from BMW was 134€ a few years ago.

Beside E-bay you can try Motorworks ( Motorworks - BMW Motorcycle Spares - home )but I see the price here is 90£ for an used one. Siebenrock ( Siebenrock - BMW Motorräder & Teile ...alles ab /5 ) have lots of used parts but usually you have to mail/call them to check.

I have bought used parts from both sources above and I was not very pleased with Motorworks (dirty, old, expensive parts). I found Siebenrock better.
