Some what lacking in low end grunt. The rider should have selected a 250, as big as he is.
That’s some mega hours of getting to that result.Wow!
Scootin little scooter...
BONKERS and I love it for that; and for being a stink wheeler!!!
BMW R65/5 CUSTOM
Now this is a custom version of an old R65/5 I could live with.
Normally these get butchered with GXSR parts and not to my taste.

I'm beginning to think I have one of the last unmolested airheads left.
Very interesting story, therefore we know it wasn't "found" by Geraldo Rivera.
Needs some fuzzy dice hanging from the windscreen. Just sayin'..........
Fuzzy dice, Marilyn and James Dean cutouts, and fake drive in restaurant trays are the work of Satan himself!
The things of the generation just before us. Sadly, those guys are dying off.
doanfergit th' plastic Jesus ...as in" ah don't care if it rains r freezes...ddaadada"... I like the ones with a little light inside. Had one in my old F-1 Ford flathead...pikumup.
With the arrival of Covid, we (in Canada) saw hugely inflated prices for motorcycles, recreational vehicles, cars and trucks. I’ve been watching the local bike market for a number of reasons and it appears prices are coming down a bit. Wondering what’s happening Stateside? If Bring a Trailer is an indicator, prices are still high south of the border.
It's going both ways?
Prices at the specialist auction sites are high and going up.
But If I had a secret warehouse that Allison didn't know about I'd prolly be buying more bikes this month, cuz there's some "deals" out there on CL and FB.
Maybe the wrench twister's investment in time is finally being recognized. Not to mention the parts and services costs of restoration work are climbing rapidly.
I suspect the big venue prices are being driven by collectors that have little or no connection with motorcycle riding. They are chasing investment gains.
Another factor often talked about is the lack of young bucks with mechanical inclination. If it's not a runner, fewer and fewer can, or are willing to learn how to fix "need a little love" bikes.
