Last Saturday my brother took some pics and a little video.
The more I look at the bike, the prettier I think she looks....
Maybe because there is such an ugly old bstrd standing next to her?
Drive By....

Interesting. How's the ride? And the ride report? BTW, you really didn't have to dye your hair to match the bike's color... but it's a good thing the bike wasn't red!!

I'll admit the beak is questionable on the Multi... But the 150HP, Traction Control, Slipper Clutch, four riding modes and Electronic Ohlins' Suspension more than makes up for the beak...
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

I like the wheels. I'd like to adapt them to a project bike. :-)

I thought the same thing... are these wheels the first time the spokes have been mounted in that fashion? I'd like to know more. Never seen that spoke arrangement before.

BMW has done it before. And dont forget it is a shafty, so wheel conversions are most likely too intensive.
Leon, a drive-by sort brings to mind SPEED.
That was more like a "pedal-by fruiting"
Now go get me a photo of that thing in front of De Spikke !

Can I convince you to paint it flat black?
Just when we thought the Early VFR section was safe...

Too intensive for you maybe...
Custom spokes and hub should fix that, if one can't find an existing hub to lace up.
