It's not as hideous as most BMW chopper/cruiser attempts I've seen.

Its a better job than most BM chops I've seen but still not my cup of tea.

Interesting styling exercise, but what a complete waste of an R65 ! In my not so humble opinion !

The model posing with it in the magazine pics might have been interesting if the pics were a bit larger!  ;D

I agree - I have seen some much much worse chops of airheads.
Why any self respecting biker would want to keep a 2 wheeled vehicle without
a sidecar that needed such wide, block section tires as to fit on a jaguar wheel
is beyond me - it must be very stable at its top speed of about 85mph, and probably
turns as well as those creations that the boys at Orange County Choppers make
with 8 foot wheelbases.

Poor little R65 never know what hit it..
 :(

well i like it! not because its something i want but something he made different. i do have a problem with wanting to sell something like that. i wont sell mine, i built it for me, i feel it loses part of the soul that you give it building it, riding and maintaining it.

I do like the looks - for what it is.  I could touch the ground really well on that one!  Less brakes, less handling, good styling....  

I sometimes wonder about wider, more stable tires for my R65 (although this one goes way too far for me).  I'm spoiled with the stability (& braking) on my Laverda...

I don't think much of the blonde, myself.  :P

Aïda,

It gladdens my heart to find out that Blondie doesn't do anything for you!  ;)  Personally, I would like her better with brown hair...

Just remember, that somewhere, someone is tired of her sh#t. ( # would you like to but a vowel.)

Sort of looks like a Harley Soft tail to me. If you wanted the Harley look.........why not buy one? I do like the way it looks better than some of the new BMW’s they have come out with. I think the old airheads had a cool style, smooth lines....some grace to them. These new ones seem to be strictly ............form follow function with no thought given to style. They are about as ugly as a Tiger tank. But admit I maybe stuck in the past. :o
