From the latest Max BMW E-Rider newsletter. What a beautiful job customizing a Toaster-tanked R75.
This is the bike you wish BMW had made. We took a toaster tank slash five, gave it a suspension boost, a bigger front wheel, more bore, a sexy ISDT exhaust, some knobbies and a few other fancy and functional features. You really have to see this bike to believe it. Currently at the CT store, it will be on tour this month to each of our other locations.

In 1971 I might have been able to muscle that bad boy on an enduro track. Today, I'd probably just have to leave it where it fell. Really a nice concept though. I like it.

Take a look at the last picture, the center stand seems to be a mix of the old and new style stands .
It's got the 'tang' to easily get the stand down, then the footpad to get the bike on the stand easily .
Just another observation, with all the work that into this bike, why would you have old rusty fill plugs and pinch bolt for the rear brake arm .
Sorry, but it's the aicraft inspector in me that notices these things !!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
