All these older R series BMW's look the same. I'd like to see them do something a bit different.

It's alright overall but the tyres push it to hate for me and lack of plate means its not finished either. The plate isn't fitted cos it won't look good.
And this fitting knobbly tyres to road bikes is an instant no from me.

I like it to look at but probably not to ride.

Stupid tyres, no rear mudguard (and the front is a bit sketchy), no number plate, no indicators, and no sign of a battery either. Good luck with riding that in the real world.

It's got indicators - LEDs in place of bar ends... held on with a jubilee clip!

Change the tyres and deliver it tomorrow, I'll ride that.
Q? Just about every bike has the brake fluid reservoir perched on the bars like some sort of techno-budgie and it looks [puke emoticon]. At least use a black box type. I know they need to be raised but surely there's a better solution?

No, just no, the original R90S is a beautiful bike of it's era, should've left the bodywork alone and just improved the suspension and brakes.

Nah, it's rose-tinted specs.
If you weren't there at the time, the style of the original r90 is as appealing as an austin allegro.

You can have both. They're not exactly as rare as hen's teeth!

Agree wholeheartedly.....
One has to ask why would one even start to think that was a good idea?
