Yes I had one for years. Cracked the swingarm flat landing off flights of steps. Sent it back for repair and respray. Then got a chance to own a Big Link which was my dream BMW. Had that far a few years until it was stolen. Got it back ten years later, but realised after a couple of rides that I would never really use it anymore. That thing weighed about 70lbs.
The race link also weighed between 47-53lbs depending on which forks I had fitted at the time.
Great frame and had a lot of fun on it, but it was back in the heavy build, hucking period of DH.
If I had any need for that type of bike again I'd go with a Tora simply because of the weight and geometry. Plus they're not overpriced like all second hand BMW stuff is now.
