Mike Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 It seems cool and pointless at the same time. Personally--and I know that no one asked for my opinion--I'd rather have a vintage BMW. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Morning Steve It looks like they made that late model final drive into a hard tail also. I can’t see enough of the induction system to tell if they kept the fueling computer or went with carbs but I do see o2 sensors so probably computerized fueling. Link to comment

I gotta agree. 100+ hp with that front brake and those skinny tires. I think the original R32 had less than 10 hp. Link to comment
ShovelStrokeEd Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Gorgeous. I would have to upgrade the front brake though. I've been thinking about doing something like this since I got my first oil head in 1994. I would have used a frame with the oval tubing though but the gas tank concept is similar. If I live long enough to retire and have any money left, that will certainly be on my short list of things to do. Link to comment
russell_bynum Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Look closely at the engine. IMO, the tank "Don't look right". Needs to be more rounded. Otherwise...wicked cool! Link to comment
SuperG Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yeah but how do you squeeze your helmet into that side purse? Link to comment

notacop Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 That B-tt helmet should be required wear for everyone that complains about speed traps or other wise complains about speeding tickets. What a work of art. Oh, the bike is neat too. A bit over chromed but a head turner! Link to comment
