All shining aluminium – the work of craftsman Rod Tingate – the ECCO BMW was an attempt to create a non-Japanese superbike for the fledgling class in Australia, at a time when alcohol fuel was permitted. It looked and sounded superb, but was no match for the power of the four cylinder bikes, despite Blake’s brilliance in the saddle. It ran from 1976 to 1978. It used Moto Mozzi one-piece two piston calipers, brought into Australia by Ron Angel.
These pre-dated the Scarab and later Brembo types.
