Whats the front end on that BMW? Looking at the R series what the best way to distinguish between a 60/75/90?

That tail section is a little unusual, but I really like it. Awesome looking cafe.

is that an undertail exhaust on the BM'er?

I dig the cb200, too. that bike comes w/ the coolest stock tank. it was my first bike. but after moving on to 350, 400-4, 550, etc. I got another one. super fun to ride in the city. go up and down stairs, hop curbs to get around traffic, whatev.

Them wheels are Kimtab snowflakes..

 Saw 3 of em on a Yam 650 wasp sidehack bike at Bonneville last year.. they were a bit dinged up..

 The guy said he found it sitting somewhere for 250 bux.. not sure if it had a motor when he found it! The wheels were magnesium.....

 Saw an ad the other day for Rickman wheels , with stock drum built in, looked a bit like those..

that seat looks like you could jump on at the back and then slide all the  way down to the gas tank.

it is ...odd

I think I'd have done something more creative with it.
maybe make it smaller, since it's not a dirt bike anymore.


BTW, where's the gas tank?
