Now, after nine years pause, there was the opportunity to continue working on the RS-250 project after a few relocations and life stages. Studying, changing careers and the associated unsuitable rental apartments in various places across Germany were the reason why there was no further progress on this project for years. During this time, the RS 250 stood covered in my parents’ barn, parts packed in boxes.

The speedometer and other small parts in the cockpit as well as the handlebars have now been mounted. Here, everything was also installed with new screws, so the screw heads have a uniform look. The replacement of the wheel bearings, however, was not as easy as you sometimes might think it would be.
