R1100s Cafe (Or a R1100S with no fairing)

Apologies (or perhaps not) if this guy is a member of this forum but can you really label a bike that has been stripped naked as a cafe racer!

I saw that , and apart from a half decent exhaust and off the shelf tail unit it looks like a crashed bike.
If they'd tidied up the tank then it might look acceptable.

Just the right place for the oil cooler to get a stone through it - well thought out. I have to say it looks bloody 'orrible which will be why those nice people at BMW put a nice (if somewhat odd looking) fairing over it.
There would appear to be a surfeit of prolixity and sesquipedalian content today please do not use a big word when a singularly un-loquacious and diminutive linguistic expression will satisfactorily accomplish the contemporary necessity

What welding? I had a look to see if the lugs were re-welded, but they don't appear to be?

If I paid £50 for any of that welding (not even sure the slag has been cleaned up!)' I would be disappointed...as for the exhaust! I don't like to rant & rave but really the effort vs price just don't add up![/list]

Kinda reminds me of "the kings clothes" except change " the king is in the all together" for "what a pile of shit that looks"

Just saying :lol: :lol: :lol:
