Love this bike. There will always be haters, ignore them. You display a respect for airheads that is unique to the other BMW modders. And I am sure the design team who originally worked on that bike would agree.
The size of the front fender looks great on this bike. It's obviously very functional as well, something that is often overlooked on custom rides. I think it does an amazing job of balancing/matching with the large functional rear fender found on this era of BMW's.
A Mate bought one(grey 90s) new in 1974,cost more then my new FX.He Hated it .Tried cam and extended sump , Hot in north Australia. Found Happiness with Moto Guzzi Le Mans .
Whilst I understand the value of modifications to improve performance and handling I think that this video does a great disservice to the original ATE brakes. I have a 1977 R75/7 which I upgraded to dual ATE calipers (from a single) at the front and maintained the under tank master cylinder. Properly set up these brakes work incredibly well, enough to lock the front wheel (I have made similar engine upgrades). The secret is knowing how to set these brakes up properly, if they're not properly set up they can be very poor and I think that might be why Roughchild has a poor opinion of them.
Not to be critical but I noticed on a lot of your videos you mostly concentrate on filming on one side of the bike your showing is there any chance we could get a better look at the other side I really like the quality and design of your bikes keep up the good work always look forward to the next one
Hear me out, we build amazing motorcycles. As yet, we don't make amazing videos. If you're here for the bikes, you won't be disappointed. If it's video production you're here for, we aren't there yet. But we're getting better all the time, so stick around and give us feedback as we progress.
I'm an enthusiast, i love the original bikes and I love custom bikes. A person can like both. Unfortunately the old men dominating that group vilify the customized. It's tedious.
BMW just teased the R12S, and homaged the R90S in a post. Woohoo!
A custom build I actually like a lot. Well done.
Finally! We did it. Thank you!
your best build so far
Thank you

Absolutely gorgeous, practical and highly desirable.

Totally agree!
Beautiful bike mate! Have a 1986 monoshock r65, fully original - this has definitely given me some ideas... 😏
Love it

Andrew, you're standing up for a dead dog. The drum was better than what you have
would be nice if bmw will make a modern version of that......exact tank shape and everything else is modern
Same front 4 pot pistons brembos i run on two of my bikes same with the rear ohlins
I think the purity mind set comes from the fact that most people absolutely butcher these bikes
Nice 👍
Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching, we'll try to incorporate that into future videos
Which brackets did you use to mount the Marchal's?
👍
Who edited this video?!?!?? It’s all over the place, it seems like they uploaded the draft video not the final video

Calling German Purist Nazis will never not be funny.

I mean, yes, but still
