Post Sale Update: This well-documented and well-modified G450X sold for $3,850 after 29 bids on eBay.
Based out of Germany, Speedbrain has made a name for themselves with worldwide privateer racing efforts since 2006 (including multiple stage wins in the Dakar Rally). A lot of their work has been with the BMW G450X, and as such they’ve released a kit to turn the production model into something special. Though the listing says this bike has a ‘full’ kit, it looks like it has most of the pieces but not necessarily all of them.
This bike (VIN: WB1014505AZV04132) is being offered by the second owner, who acquired it to take on the Continental Divide but he has not had the chance to – he’s only ridden it once. The original owner was impressively meticulous with upgrades, maintenance, and documentation in the 100 hours and 3,000 miles that have been put on.
These are the kinds of records you like to see when you buy a bike.
The Speedbrain Dakar kit is the highlight of the upgrades, and this bike features the giant 7 gallon tank, reinforced radiator, pivoting footpegs, upgraded handlebars, and more. There’s all kind of spares, and the seller notes that this bike got over $5,000 worth of upgrades in the process. The seller of this bike (VIN: WB1014505AZV04132) is a talented photographer and it shows in the listing. It’s in Oregon but registered in California, so find this well-customized G450X for sale in Portland, Oregon with bidding up to $2,025 and the reserve not yet met
