I saw that and read that article. Pretty cool bike for a "bobber" which is not my cup of tea. Though all the custom fabrication and engineering is pretty impressive.

Damn, that's beautiful. I didn't even realize it wasn't a hardtail until the shot of the rear of the engine. I love how they frenched in the clutch cable's exit point from the bar. Just exquisite detail.

 It's super nice and I can appreciate it, but it's not really what I see when I "see" a bobber and it's not what I "see" when I see a BMW.
 What's it supposed to be?

It's a tribute to the original R5 from 1936
