Normally I'm not a fan of the boxers but I like the minimalist style of this . Especially the tank is really cool.

Could be street legal over here - no problem - only for daylight use though

I'm gonna ride mine on the street regardless. She'll only have a single beam HID, tail and brake. I'll probably hide a horn somewhere but the pipes on mine are so loud there's no way someone will not notice me.

Hi Jaffa


I've never seen a copy of BMW motorcycle magazine before. Where does it originate from? I ride an r1200rt and have just bought a 750 Paso ( that I have yet to collect!). The mag looks like an interesting read
