Take an R18... and throw most of it away...

[The Spin Doctor]

This is the ZILLER BMW R18.

It's Russian-built, commissioned by BMW, and just 13 have been made.

What I like about it is that it's fitted with air suspension. That enable the bike to sink down when parked - the two little metal 'feet' just under the downpipes then act as the stand! Very clever.

The rest of it? Well, it's better integrated in terms of lines than many of the customs I've seen recently, although the seat looks like another tacked-on afterthought.

Would I ride one? Well, to see how it went, yes. Would I lust after one? Not a chance.

It's a lot Judge Dredd

Reminds me a bit of the ZZ Top Harley.

It's a huge bike,but the Rusky job makes it look a lot smaller.

I wouldn't mind a go on an R18 of any description,just for curiosity.

Yeah, I'll be getting a test ride next year I think.

I like the stock R18 too....as I've said before, it reminds me of Harleys, Zeppelins and old cigarette lighters
