BMW R65 Air Head (the bike)

While spending time in Germany, Tony couldnt help but head to the Mecca of BMW. The BMW Welt Museum. While there he realised the potential to create a project air head cafe racer that could turn heads. While overseas he thought about colours, styles and had some self proclaimed radical ideas. 

As soon at touching down in Sydney he was on the hunt for a R65 mono - shock. He found & went to town (Eminem aint got shit on me) on it; chopping the frame and modifying the seat. He painted the tank satin red and blacked out the rest of the bike. Harley from RB Racing took care of the clips ons, digital dash and tuned it to 34 RWHP. 

It was a tiered budget build using more time then parts. Now it has reached the next tier. Have a look at whats planned.

Wow! really nice model of BMW. Looks completely different from its exterior. The wheels are looks big than normal. There are no covers over both the wheels. The seat design is completely different from normal. The body design just like the old bikes but looking really cool. I think its a heavy weight bike and really nice to watch when it run.
