Saw this while walking around town, well, going to get a beer actually. Maybe BMW is going to give HD a run in the retro look category?
ok, what is it? |

Honda Rebel 250 and a lot of "spare parts" Pretty cool if you're not interested in going fast |

Ummm, WHYYY!?!? What could have possessed someone to scrap the original Airhead motor and put in THAT thing? Instant turd, just add rice.

I think it's really cool - "love the on you're with", eh? mixing/matching motors/frames/tins is fun !!

kinda like it. I mean if you have the parts laying around, and the ball and chain wont let you get another/new bike.... of course I would have done the 450 model for the extra power, but still, nice effort to class up a Rebel that was getting no attention |

I like it. Go with what you got. Around town putter. Better than that POS "custom" crappy sounding, cruiser with a Buell motor, on ebay. |

Now,that "Yamaton" looks a lot more "proper", with a bulletproof Yammie twin, which was originally copied from early British designs... The Beemer looks almost complete other than having the Honda motor- wonder what happened? If it's a 250, won't have enough power to outrun Gramma on her powerchair... Frogs- where's the love, man? (I can smell it, can't see it...) Don't get the segue... |

Having owned a BMW r-51 and put a lot of miles on it. I can say the rebel motor is probably an improvement in the power dept. Not something i would but i like it |

Shouldn't the tank badge read 'Wanton"...... Those bikes have been done to death, even with assorted British iron power..... |
