BMW Bobber

I wanted to build something other than a Harley for a change:



Don't get me wrong, I still love Harleys but it was fun doing something different!

It's nice to see something different. Rear fender is clean, paint looks great. Well done.

*whew* thank you,I'm actually starting to get over sportster'd lately. A nicely done bike is cool in any flavor.

Believe me, i saw Marc's BMW for real and it's a killer machine.

Great bike! I love anything strange and different.

i remember seeing this in a magazine a while back. or i'm pretty sure this was the bike. But its for sure the coolest bmw i've ever seen. And one of my favorite bikes ever.

I remember seeing that bike in a magazine or online a while back. (That was weird, jinx Justin) Super impressive. Any more photos? I think those engines are very interesting. So much the opposite of a HD set up with all the enclosed components and such. It's shaft drive too, right?

Yep...shafty.

It's a beautiful machine.

killer! perfect bike!

is it the 650?

Damn this bike looks really low and sleek. Well done.

not tryin to sound like a complet idiot but does the heat bother the shins at all. I know it can't be bad on all BMW's cause I read a book called Investment Biker about the first guy to ride around the world on a BMW

dude, i am totally diggin this bike, the bmw engine looks so cool in a bobber.

Well I can tell yea from experience that your feet don't get cold and if they get wet they dry out quickly.
I own a 74 BMW r90 and after seeing these photos I was tempted to get the saws all out.

I love the Strombergs.... I know Duckman has some YouTube vids of this bike rolling. Everytime I see this bike the lights go dim..... cue "Endless Love".... disco ball...

aha! Found it!

Verrrry nice beemer. Those have to be the easiest engines in the world to work on. You can do a top end job in about an hour and a half...... if you dick around . Beautiful chop...... looks like beemer fag heaven.

Nope, the heat doesn't bother your shins at all. Of course I always wear boots when I ride. On a fully faired BMW (either RS or RT) you can ride in the rain and not get wet....... as long as you are moving above 40 MPH......

this is the coolest bmw i have ever seen..

Killer bike man....I dig the zero style bikes where the front and rear wheels are fat and the bike low and sleek. Nice job!!!

Great build, nicely done. I can't stop looking at it.

Very nicely done! Beautiful!
