Well, I certainly like that more than the cruiser concept BMW unveiled a few weeks ago. Mind you, the red motor is nearly too weird and the single shock and double sided swingarm is interesting, but.... and the antique Bing’s? Seems a bit too retro!

Nice shot with Hans peering over the top in the background.

The reason it appears retro is because it is made of mostly off the shelf parts!

The motor is a stock r 65  with kick start. The front forks and frame are from a r 80 GS. The back end is from a r 65 monoshock.

The only non stock items are the tank knee pads and the left side cover, which has the moved choke in it!

His new concept is "individualized" bikes make from stock parts.
