EBR converted my 2008 1125r to a DSB for use on a story testing a stunt done by a BMW M 1000 RR that pulled a tablecloth off a banquet table full of dishes etc. Included are all the original 1125r components, so it could be returned to an 1125r if someone wanted to use it on the street, but currently it is a DSB. Runs great, looks great. Only 1900 miles on it. Never been raced or dropped. $10,000 OBO In San Francisco at the ex Mythbusters shop Will send photos via email on request. jamie@m5industries.com
Well, as he stated in the very beginning of his sentence, “EBR converted…” The bike may have been a 2008 model but EBR was founded in late 2009 and the episode didn’t air till Oct 2010 so I would assume it would be considered a custom under the EBR brand at that point.
I always felt this would have been better executed if they used a longer length of rope connecting to the tablecloth, so the motorcycle would already be up to speed before the tablecloth was pulled.
