"Who can resist the beauty of BMW's boxer engine? Their unorthodox horizontal head configuration and shaft drive has always intrigued me. There's no denying that Boxer BMWs are bulky looking bikes but with some smart customization they can be transformed into sleek looking Cafe Racers." Returnofthecaferacers.com

The pinstriping continues on the apron and around to the rear cowl as well as framing the added fairing.

Disc brakes are utilized on the 21-inch front wheel and drum brakes on the 17-inch rear.
