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?

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

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...

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......
