I just noticed there appears to be something duct-taped to the exhaust? Kind of looks like a walkie-talkie, with the antenna pointed towards the rear. (Rear of the bike, not the girl. ;) )

Not usually a fan of missing side covers and the stripped out look, but this one just has a presence i just can't get over.

I agree.  The engine's paint job almost seems to have a nickel quality to it.  It goes well with the black of the bike and the brown seat.

Oh don't be tempted by the smoker darkside young Kevin.  ;D  ;) Those look like crazy fun, if you want to learn to wheelie, there's your sign.

The short seat makes it look like its arse is hanging out. Perhaps an homage to the current dropping drawers social ilk roaming our streets and school halls?

Cal, we all know you have a Beemer hidden in your closet that you never expose to the light of day.

I love the blue frame on the BMW and the exhaust how it tucks the bike.

Cheers.
