Title: Don't you think that this old motorcycle is fantastic ?
Post by: kagliostro on September 26, 2013, 02:38:34 am

This BMW R7 was build as a prototype in 1934

but was considered too futuristic for its time

ans was dismantled

in 2005 someone "discovered" it and rebuild to new

Isn't FANTASTIC ?

  Cool !! :icon_biggrin:
 If they built that today, it would likely have a lot of plastic parts on it.

  And I'm too old & brittle to ride one now anyway :icon_biggrin:

Wow!  That is cool.  Interesting that the opposed cylinder Beemer engine has not changed in 80 years.  Looks like the same castings!

Be nice if they'd put it in production... like the new http://www.indianmotorcycle.com/en-us/home (http://[url=http://www.indianmotorcycle.com/en-us/home) ]Indians[/url] on the market.
(Some differences can be noted between the old models and the new though.)

It, the BMW, definitely was space-age for its time. Nice bike.
