It says the fairing is from an XJ600, but with those lamps in it's very CBX750.

I thought about liking that.
But I counted to 10 - and looked at the picture again.
Will look great outside The Bike Shed coffee shop or Starbucks
Just wondering with all that carb nonsense going on, where will you put you legs ( if I remember my GS1150 correctly)

Re: SEKHMET: A BMW BOXER CAFÉ RACER WITH AN 80S VIBE
do you put the sidestand puck in a special storage bin in the seat unit?
front mudguard?
i like the lines of the bike, but you have a well finished tank then the matte tail.
we used to 'french' the rear lights on our mk2 Z1000s 30 years ago, looked better than that too.

On my (1982?ish) R100RT, the footrests weren't in-line (ie looking down from the seat) as one carb is further back than the other (because the cylinders aren't either).
Even bland can be a type of character

Some relatively nice detail work - but as a whole it's too much of a mish-mash of different ideas that don't really gel very well.

The set unit needs fixed,then I'll judge again.
Maybe if they fix that,then something else may need fixing.
It doesn't make me reach for the eye bleach,but doesn't set my trousers on fire either.

Damn,I can't keep up.

Looking on the bright side, at least it doesn't have lobsterback headers.
