How cool is that

I WANT ONE!!!!! I WANT ONE!!!!! Bad ass and creative even though it's a little funky looking in spots but what BMW isn't. If BMW was even smarter, they'd quit with all this new space aged looking bs they're coming out with now and lean more in your direction. Harley makes bajillions of dollars selli...

Swapping Front Wheel Fenders

Ok, I really like my 1150R and for the most part like the styling as well but I do have a bone to pick with that front wheel fender. Has anyone noticed that if you turn the handlebars to the left and look at the bike on the right side, it looks like a mullet. That's right the notoriously ugly 80's h...
