I have a hard time seeing that as a stripped down HP2. That seat is perfect for no-asses like me.

Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: speedknot on July 08, 2011, 06:33:47 PM Single sided swing arm on wrong side. Email BMW and let the German engineers know that. :)Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: The Bearded Duc on July 08, 2011, 07:00:49 PM Single sided swing arm on wrong side. I'm pretty sure all single sided BMW's are on that side. Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: iRam on July 08, 2011, 08:17:14 PM For a bimmer that is the correct side ;D

But I don't think I'll ever develop a taste for the stubby seats. I don't care if it's not meant to take a passenger, it just looks awkward and unfinished. Totally destroys the visual balance, for me.

JM Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: iRam on July 09, 2011, 06:30:41 AM i like the look better than the diavel. I hope it goes into production.

Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: NorDog on July 09, 2011, 01:20:43 PM I'm surprised it has laced spokes.
Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: Duc Buz on July 09, 2011, 05:44:54 PM Interesting, the stubby seat is something I'm not sure if I will ever get use to.

Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: Jarvicious on July 10, 2011, 07:22:33 AM For a bimmer that is the correct side ;D Bimmers have 4 wheels, Beamers have 2. Just sayin :) Yep, my 88 RT has the SSS on facing the left. I've been meaning to get a pic with both facing each other. Title: Re: The Devil better watch its back Post by: Buckethead on July 10, 2011, 10:22:52 AM I'm pretty sure all single sided BMW's are on that side. Nope. Just the boxer bikes. (http://www.motorbikestoday.com/reviews/Images/bmw_k1200r3_lge.jpg) As for the low rider custom.... I liked the original sketches that we saw a couple of years ago. This... doesn't have quite the visual balance. Maybe it's the angles or the color scheme, but that tank seems gargantuan. Maybe slightly taller bars would help, but it just looks ungainly. Beetle-esque. But from a "somebody's doing something to make this bike a reality" standpoint, I approve!
