Inspiration 9

How much inspiration can one bike require?  I guess we'll find out.

Honda CB550
The metalwork is cool on this bike.  The rivets are a nice detail.

I like the paint finish on this bike.  Also a good use of perforated metal.  Lastly, they used stainless mesh cover for the cables, which I might want to try.

Yamaha XT600Z
I like the controls on this bike; just a few simple toggle switches.  And the tach is made from an Ikea jug!

I love the black and aluminum look.  Classic.  I am also intrigued by the small headlight.  The tach is really nice too.

Surfboard motorcycle

1976 BMW R75/6
1976 BMW R75/6This is a nice BMW.  They closed off the air box much nicer.  Funny to find two like this in close succession.

This is a black beauty.  Clean exhaust.

Suzuki ST400 Tempter
I like the integrated front turn signals on this bike.

This is a BMW commissioned bike.  A modern version of mine.
