Were they any good?

No

aww I thought this was going to be something interesting..

There is one for sale local to me for £500.

Assuming its in good nick would that still be a really bad buy?

Here

I was just thinking at what price would you think it s worth a go?

Stolen. These are sold to BMW owners, and therefore you can deduce that a BMW owner would not need to swap their bike for a small van or car…

my friend has one of these, now with new air shocks F&R which has solved the horrible bob you got on them as standard!

i had the enduro top pic.great bike had it for 3 years & rode it to death .

just because it says bmw you will get shit though im afraid.

id snap there hand off at £500.00 notes .

although i did work for bmw for 12 years so im biased.

The top one reminds me a lot of the 02-04 Specialized Enduro, it even looks like the head & seat angles are copied.

They weren’t all for sale to existing BMW car owners were they?

Looks like a glorified Apollo to me. Actually, they both do. Truly hideous!!

Who made these things? I remember when Amp research made some Mercedes ones.

Oh, and Porsche did some crackers too!

A mate who had a BMW bought one of the bikes new from a dealer because he was offered it really cheap. About £800 IIRC, so probably worth about £2-300 now. Can’t vouch for the ride, but it didn’t look a good piece of kit

The top picture looks like a full sus On-One carbon.

Whether that’s a good thing I can’t tell. 😉

Alfa would never sell a gopping looking bike;

i had a guy on tour last summer with one. he wasn’t exactly ragging it (he was 64) but it got him over the alps safely enough.

I knew someone who had one of those (pic at OP), he also bought it when he bought his new car but didn’t get the discount – paid about £2k for it! It weighed a ton and bobbed for England, and from a technology standpoint appeared to be about 3 years behind other bikes, this was about 5 years ago.

£200 absolute max and then only if you can stand the ribbing you’ll get from everyone who ever sees you on it.

Just read the add – swap for small van or car?! Ask him if he’ll swap it for one of these
