    America NEEDS a guy like this designing high quality CREATIVE motorcycles COMMERCIALLY... he's an absolute Artist AND Genius.
    To have ourselves a truly Grass Roots motorcycle manufacturer, that could do the RnD and production IN HOUSE, and then sell those motorcycles domestically, FOR A REASONABLE PRICE after everyone involved getting FAIRLY paid, is just one shot in the arm this Country NEEDS again.

    That BMW is beautiful. Very unusual design. i live in a country where prestige is something new and it has to shine but i would love it just to prove that you can enjoy something that seems to be out of waste.

    I had trouble believing it, at the time, but my Daddy bought me a used Sears Mo-ped when I was 13 years old, for $35. I was hooked from then on. Nothing like the feeling of freedom, coolness, and pleasure that riding motorcycles brought me. I loved working on them, also. I'm 72 and arthritic now, haven't ridden much, at all, in over 20 years, and probably couldn't handle anything that weighed much more than 200 pounds. I do miss it, considerably, though. I would ride that BMW in a heartbeat, if I were able. Thanks for the great video. I enjoy the rider's eye view because it kind of simulates the feeling of me riding.

    Great video! Just a bit of trivia, all the way til they closed in the 50’s the Indian motorcycle Co . Had an option that customers could swap out the newer girder and telescopic front ends for the earlier leaf spring style and about 15% of new buyers did as it handled really well . Though IMO they aren’t as nice looking, just seeing this bike told me she probably rides really sweetly. Would love to try it . Thanks for another great video 👍

    The front end... I've seen other bikes with the leaf springs. It's an old style, and even Harley had them.
    The BMW "Boxer," engine, is really similar to those the Germans used in WWII.
    Moto Guzzi also had similar engines, known as the "horizontally opposed 2 cylinder engines." I think Moto Guzzi had a 4 cylinder as well... Maybe BMW did to...
    It sounds great! The ride might be a little rough... But you're already experienced on hardtails...
    If the bike is using a magneto, better shielded plug wiring would eliminate the electrical discharge you hear on your video...
