    Fantastic K-bikes. I drive an old K75 (97,000mi and still strong!) and these bikes sure do make me jealous. Great bikes!

    the cafe racer is lovely. that green is gorgeous.

  • @rogerj412
    @rogerj412 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That is one of the most beautiful bikes I've seen in a long time. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford one of Larry's machines.

    @williamknell864 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Beautiful work.
    My da would love these. He didn't start riding until he was 50. But as a weld and tinkerer, he'd dig this.
    Nice!

    The cream colored one is beautiful. There is something about it I really like.

      In the Sixties, Police in Enschede, Netherlands, had BMW R69 with sidecar in almost this type of creme (earlier on all police bikes were black)

    • @setra23
      @setra23 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not really a fan of that style of bike, but you're right, there is something about it that is just right.

  • @nateswartz496
    @nateswartz496 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I am not a bike person, and I don't ever plan on riding a bike, but those bikes are so beautiful, and the first bikes that I would ever even consider riding, very beautiful and so well put together. Amazing work those guys did on those bikes.

  • @Oldbmwr100rs
    @Oldbmwr100rs 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I've owned several K-100's and 1100's and I love how the exhaust on this makes the bike sound nothing like a K-bike!

  • @kendrom
    @kendrom 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I just wanted to say thanks to Jay and the production crew for making this show. I've been watching one when I come home from work, and it's a real pleasure to see all these cool bikes. Nice way to end the day. Thanks!

  • @GentlemanBikerVlog
    @GentlemanBikerVlog 10 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    What a beautiful collection, especially the green one. Fantastic effort gone into that. That sound is wonderful as well!

  • @mikemessier7977
    @mikemessier7977 10 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    I never cared for the looks of BMW K bikes but I love these three beautiful bikes! 1960's British Café Coolness, German K engineering and Italian style all in one package. Well done Larry & Carroll. You two make a great team! So please tell us Jay, are they going to build one for you??

    • @mingonmongo1
      @mingonmongo1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      You bet, kinda blocky and sticking out on such a lean frame, the K motors on the stock beemers always look like a bit of an 'add-on' (hence the nickname 'Flying Brick'). These seem more like they built the machine 'around' the motor, which brings it all together and really does it justice. Very cool, and love the sound!

  • @octane613
    @octane613 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    That white bike is the most beautiful motorcycle i've EVER seen, oh my god.

  • @Chuck59ish
    @Chuck59ish 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Very nicely done, subtle, but not garish, something to make your friends stare hard trying to figure out what's been done. Thanks Larry and Carol and thanks Jay for another interesting video.

  • @BradJamification

  • @orionslaver432
    @orionslaver432 8 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    That white cruiser... I'm drooling.
    That engine was MADE for this! Why don't BMW make cruisers any more? Just one model, come on!

    • @death13820
      @death13820 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      They are working on one now

  • @M3RRIH3W13
    @M3RRIH3W13 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Larry melded all those different parts in there beautifully. That's best sounding Flying Brick that I've ever heard, too. He seems to have visualized all the details perfectly. I'm really impressed... and purchasing an old BMW would be way down on my list. I would buy this one.

    @Vampirebear13 10 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I love BMW motorcycles. They're quiet, blindingly fast, and extremely reliable. Basically the Porsche of motorcycles. I'll always remember flying thru Tennessee @ 140mph in my 76 Datsun 280Z and getting passed by a husband & wife @ 160mph on a Bimmer touring bike.

    • @mgelliott1
      @mgelliott1 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Bimmers are cars, Beemers are bikes.

    Nice work Mr. Leno.
    It's great to see your fine knowlege of cars and bikes, and to quote and Aussie term 'You are one luck bugger!'
    Wish I could afford a motorcycle now, but that's not an option, but I remember each of my 15 bikes however bad they were.

  • @StevenVanLoven
    @StevenVanLoven 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @MichalisMatthaiou 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Suzuki GT750 (two stroke engine) is called a "kettle" this side of the pond,and this drum break was used only on the first model in 1971,it was replaced by a single disc from '72 til '77 that the model was ended.And yes Jay,to answer you question,it doesn't stop the bike at all, but it looks cool.

    So glad you found the special Ks
    I miss my k75 just sold it, best 750 ever made, our country is took caught up in high hoursepower crazy fast bike. Light good mpg and handling is great, having a bulletproof motor also help. Not enough of those on the market. Bmw has left small engines all together, I think they will go back eventually.

    BMW K engines are way under-rated. The snobby BMW boxer crowd rejected them.
    They are gem engines.
    Somehow, Jay and I are brothers- large, finned, racing drum brakes are straight cool. Can't explain it.
