Unusual, for a Cafe, in that it hasn't been overly hacked up.  It even still has the stock airbox. No rear fender, but a stock front fender.  And stock foot pegs.

Yeah, almost as though it's molting from the back forwards ... Or something tried to grab it by the tail and it's yet to grow a new one.

I like it.
That's the combustion chamber of the turbo shaft. It is supposed to be on fire. You just don't usually see it but the case and fairing fell off.

Do you want 1/2 Volkswagen or 1/4 of V8, I'll go V8 every time.This is reality. All German junk, inferior crap, nazi fails.

I have less than zero interest in the hipster BMW Airhead bikes, given a choice between the above bike and a cafe T or T3 of that generation of bikes, I wouldn't even glance at the BMW. The sound alone makes the BMW a dullard.
