I'll admit it's kind of cool but I think if you're going to do this you should be forced to be buried with it when you die.

Not a K-Bike but I'm afraid it's just a matter of time.
-
Might be a BMW frame but having a Suzuki engine makes it a Suzuki in my book. And definitely not to my taste :yow More like a what else can I do to it.
Regards Martin.

He lists it as a '76 R60, bit of an oxymoron there. I'm hard pressed to see anything from an R, K, F, or 3-series on it. It raises the old question, should you do something just because you can?

Judging from the other art objects in the patio, it might be that this happy and eccentric theme is part of a lifestyle.

Telelever looks like it's pivoted off the cylinder. That would worry me.
-
So much time and effort put into something that looks like a life size Lego set
-
it looks like it belongs in a circus with a clown riding it. Paging Barnum and Baily.
-
I've seen some custom Harley choppers that do have clowns riding on them.

I would be embarrassed to be seen with children's toy.

Someone's taste is all in their mouth....

Wrong end Brad man. :hehehe

I didn't state what their taste preference was...Obviously it is for that found in that region! :clap:

Can't see anything that identifies it as a Beemer.
Looks very Mickey Mouse to me... and no sense of colour co-ordination at all.
Horrid looks !
-
Nah, the Mouse does things with class, this is definitely Willy Wonka. Does it actually run? Betcha not! What really has my curiosity going is "WHY"????????
-
That hodgepodge of excretia has been bid up past $2500 and still 3 days to go. Question is, it it bmw, yamaha or lego lovers bidding it up?
-
Must be the latter.
Beemer lovers are waaay too smart for that nonsense

Checking around in Florida for clues on "Doc" who is the "builder" according to the Ebay post, this may be a design exercise from early 2000 by a notorious chopper builder. Note the chassis tubes.......this ain't no backyard project like the OZ-boys such as Martin do. The true builder supposedly has big cred in the chopper world. And supposedly it had an airhead, but a Suzuki 400 was substituted when the airhead died. It doesn't run and is a "show" piece. Interesting frame-suspension design. How about putting a K75 engine in it? Somebody is looking for a winter project, right?

Granted the guy had skills, wonder if he could have done something like this?
-
Too sweet! Been day-dreaming about how to do exactly that with a Ural!

Well poot!
These must be props from "Willy Wonka". Notice the Mouse chairs in the background.

The fabricator is targeting more conservative buyers with this one.

Is that motobrick-powered motoboxer real?

There's an interesting story behind that rig.
When placing the radiator and its fan in the frame was found impractical, it was installed in the right rear half of the fuel tank with its intake in the location of the right kneepad. To prevent blockage of air flow by the right knee, the right footpeg was lowered. The air passing through the radiator is distributed by a duct exiting through the bottom of the tank. Excess air flow travels horizontally rearward then upward into that dome-shaped, tritium-powered, titanium heat exchanger just above the coil pack behind the kick starter. It is flushed through a Febreze-imbedded filter to enhance its quality as it passes into the atmosphere.
There wasn't sufficient room for the Jetronic under the seat so it was place in the left rear of the tank with a partition to separate it from the radiator and its ductwork. It's right behind what looks like the left knee pad but is actually the Jetronic's plug connector. The ignition control unit is in there too. Removing the Jetronic plug allows both units to be removed after their mounting latches are opened. The remaining forward section of the tank holds fuel. There's a fuel-tight baffle and insulation separating it from the radiator, ignition control and Jetronic.
With the alterations to the tank, many naysayers proclaimed that the resulting tank fuel capacity—750 ml—is too small. The fabricator answered by telling them to go build their own rigs if they're so smart.
The only real drawback in the modifications is that if the kickstarter is operated too vigorously, it will snap when it hits the footpeg. Reports of broken ankles during this procedure are anecdotal only, and unsubstantiated.
Minor defects aside, this bike is not only being touted as brilliant reengineering but also being hailed as an example of how to lessen moto carbon footprints by using inconvenience.

It takes the meaning of "Dogs Breakfast" to a whole new level.

Of course it's real. Didn't you see the picture?
-
You are too clever! How about a pic of a Ural sidecar rig with a K75 motor?

Hey -- you're a real mechanic -- you don't need Photoshop for that, just an extra Ural, and extra engine, unlimited beer and shitloads of extra time.
-
Believe me, I'm looking for that Ural, already got a couple donor K75's lined up, got the beer & obviously, way too much time on my hands. Just need some eye candy for my shop wall!
-
Hard to tell with the low res file, but that could be a Ural 650 or Dnepr motor
-
That's the Ural logo on the left end.

No.

That 75 motor just looks so cool I can't stand it! :lets-eat:

That's be a bitch to Photoshop -- you'd need the camera angle from straight-on left and then you wouldn't even see the hack -- plus it's easy to Photoshop a 2 inch computer image but getting one with high enough resolution to print out for a wall photo -- probably easier just to swap out the engine.
But if you can get two good high resolution shots of the Ural and the brick engine from the same camera position and angle...doable enough.
