Title: Bike of the Week
Post by: Walker18 on June 20, 2013, 09:09:08 AM

Ok, I haven't seen the 'Bike of the Week' posting since Hogboy ran it.. So, I came across something quite different, and thought it
would be an appropriate bike to get this posting going again.. What is it??

And a couple of hundred more pics of the build, though I think in reverse order.

Not really a fair question, since it's basically a mongrel of a bike, with lots of creative custom mods, but it did derive from one bike, it's a 1976 BMW,
model not revealed. And it's up on Ebay. Custom gas tank, hell, custom everything..

Maybe the frame neck is a 76 BMW.

Engine looks like Suzuki Savage 650 single.
