Cool look! I have a hard time seeing that as a stripped down HP2. That seat is perfect for no-asses like me.
Single sided swing arm on wrong side.

Email BMW and let the German engineers know that. :)

I'm pretty sure all single sided BMW's are on that side.
For a bimmer that is the correct side ;D
What do you expect from a company that doesn't know the difference between a frame slider and a cylinder head?
[bang] [laugh]
I like it very much ;D

I can dig most of it.
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.

Agreed. Seems like somethings missing.

+1
So, is this the R1200C part duex?
JM
i like the look better than the diavel. I hope it goes into production.
nay...
I'm surprised it has laced spokes.
Interesting, the stubby seat is something I'm not sure if I will ever get use to.
He must have seen Cellis bike.

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.

Nope. Just the boxer bikes.

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! [thumbsup]
my like level is at 0
