Looks pretty cool from some angles. Not sure about the purple.

Re: CLOUD 9: A BMW R9T FROM A DUTCH DREAM TEAM
I like the idea and can see where they're going but it's "not quite" from me.
Love the rear 3/4 shot (bends, welds blah blah....), the front bothers me. It really reminds me of something but I can't think what.

It's different and well done, but not to my taste.

Interesting - some novel ideas.
Also not a fan of the purple & as for the front it sort of reminds me of Jar Jar Binks.

I really don't mind the purple. I like the idea of the silver/colour combo and every other c*nt has done red already...

Stylish. Not sure about that front end and the belly pan looks like a sheet of bent metal bolted on. Also a pity every shot is on the stand. Be nice to see it sat properly and also with the rider on board. Quite like it, don't want to own it.

Those wheel though! They must be pretty high end, or they're about to collapse.
Edit: Ah, carbon. So yes pretty high end! I was thinking the spokes would never work even in forged ally.

Re: CLOUD 9: A BMW R9T FROM A DUTCH DREAM TEAM
Love it. I think they have the stance spot on, the bodywork really complements that mahoosive motor, and I like the way most of the crap is blacked out so it doesn't jar.
Shame that they never photo it off the stands so you can have a slightly better idea of how it'll look irl

Re: CLOUD 9: A BMW R9T FROM A DUTCH DREAM TEAM
I figured out what the front reminds me of BTW. This is incredibly specific and off topic, hence why it took me so long It just popped up into my brain yesterday.
It's the way the roof windows are formed in the building behind the doctor's surgery I used to go to when I was a kid.
Now that's out of the way, I see no reason for disliking this bike

An 'eyebrow' window. (Quite a common feature on bungalows built during a certain period in this area).

If you hated visiting the doc, that bike would 'trigger' you.
